Any hayseed could have told you that would happen

DRUDGE REPORT FLASH 2008®

An editorial written by Republican presidential hopeful McCain has been rejected by the NEW YORK TIMES — less than a week after the paper published an essay written by Obama, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The Decrepit Malodorous Grey Spinster continues to become more so. Wonder how many foolish journalism majors nice folks are getting pink slips this week? Here’s the equation
Number of People Required to Publish a Paper of Record - Number of People Required to Be Barry's House Organ = Pink Slips Handed Out In Some Indeterminate Period

The bad news is they’re closing Starbucks left and right, so those poor bastards might have to learn how to do something productive, as there will be no place for them to sit and look pensive all the live long day. As a businessman, this is where I say, “Prepare to repel boarders! Except for the ones with big jugs and short skirts, natch.”

NB: You can file this under “Everything is Seemingly Spinning Out of Control”, which, I’m ready to punch that shit up a bit, as it’s grown tiresome already.

Why we need more women in gearhead sports

Posted by TFG on 21st July 2008

This is effing priceless:

“I just want to talk to her about it…” Pure made-for-teevee. I’ll take the feiry Venezuelan over St. Danica in the short term, but there’s something about DP that makes me want to lock up the guns and melt the key…move to a different state.

Where’s Cale Yarborough when you need him? Or AJ Foyt? I bet those gals could throw down just as mean as ol’ Cale or AJ, given the chance.

Solid Moronicity of the Day, #1

Posted by TFG on 21st July 2008

Jumping Jehoshaphat on a pogo stick. I loves me some ice hockey and some salt-and-vinegar french fries, and the fine little ladies from Windsor make me go “Ooooh, la-la!”, but somebody got their brain stem snapped off during the last freeze:

If that’s the case, you’d think NASCAR would be on top of the automotive world’s leading trend: electric drive systems and the move toward plug-in vehicles. If GM is betting the farm on its electric Volt car, NASCAR doesn’t appear to be following — let alone leading.

It’s not uncommon for presidential candidates to sponsor NASCAR racers, but Barack Obama decided against it this month. “Stock car racing could be seen as being antithetical to any green automotive policies that Obama might support,” a recent entry on the blog Autobloggreen speculated.

So here’s my suggestion: What about starting a NASCAR division dedicated to the racing of electric cars? Cars could be repowered during pit stops with battery swaps. Each team would be allowed a certain number of batteries. That way, teams aiming to win would have to focus on improving battery range and power density.

Yeah, I can see the fans lining up all across America for an exciting weekend of battery swaps and the ennervating hum of a hive of bees washing over them from the race-track. Really, that’s pretty damned dumb. Bag of doorknobs dumb.

Electric cars didn’t make America great - electricity did play an enormous part of it, tho. So it’s not that far-fetched for this frostback to posit this. Unfortunately, he’s blinded by the Warmist religion and a socialist upbringing. Here’s an idea — start a Canuckistan version of NASCAR, OK, and run it the way you want, Tyler, old bean. Me, I’ll stick with good old cast-iron mills churning out American horsepower. I’ll bet on it, even. I say the internal combustion engine still has at least two decades to rule the roost as the most-sold automotive powerplant. And me, I’m blinded by my love of monster engines, as the rare reader knows, so I could be way off.

LMFAO that this is in the Business section. I always thought of Toronto as kind of a can-do biz city for Canada. Guess not.

Texans hard-hit

FDA finds salmonella strain in jalapeno pepper - Yahoo! News

For now, the government is strengthening its earlier precaution against hot peppers to a full-blown warning that no one should eat fresh jalapenos — or products such as fresh salsa made from them — until it can better pinpoint where tainted ones may have sold.

How long am I expected to endure this fresh hell? Jalapenos are sometimes the only vegetables I ingest for two- or three-day-long spans. I just want to cry.
