Heard an odd comment on sports radio earlier. I listen to the bigger Detroit sports radio stations, so they were of course talking about the auto industry news. At one point some dude called in and started towing the "revolution" line, stating there are like 600 elected officials+judges in the US, compared to 300mil American citizens, and how the officials will keep doing dumb shit until Americans say enough's enough.

Talk about delusions of grandeur, especially coming from such a small minority of the country's political makeup. smh. Glen Beck...damn

Msgr. Monroy took Mrs. Clinton to the famous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which had been previously lowered from its usual altar for the occasion.

After observing it for a while, Mrs. Clinton asked “who painted it?” to which Msgr. Monroy responded “God!”

After being told it was an apparition, Clinton apparently persisted, asking, "But who painted the painting, the roses," before being informed again that God was the artist in question.

It's stupid not allowing them to sponsor Nascar teams. Nascar fans by far respond the most to product placement (because loyalty to the driver or something?) so it should cause more profit in the end if anything.

Car and Driver Ordered to Cease Operations at End of Season - Car News

Obama deems the magazine “unnecessary and wasteful to the environment,” and judges its editorial "tawdry and irrelevant."

BY SAMUEL CLEMENTS, PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEFFREY G. RUSSELL
April 2009

In a move sure to spark outrage, the White House announced today that Car and Driver must cease publication at the end of 2009. While publications around the globe have already felt the pinch of the economy and drawn fire for wasting precious energy in production and delivery, enormous amounts of paper in their “hard copy” pages, and contributing to landfill saturation, this announcement was stunning.

A complete shutdown of the rarely read publication would divert more than 250 million tons of paper from landfills a year, and save a substantial amount of CO2 emissions, the White House said.

“Print publications such as Car and Driver used to be read religiously but in the internet age they are irrelevant and wasteful,” said the statement from President Obama.

2) be politically feasible

3) accords with modern American conservatism
