Did capitalism die, or is it about to commit suicide-by-cop?

So, $9k you'd save on gas. How much can the dealer charge you to replace and dispose of the batteries? Talk about planned obsolescence.

Now, let's say gas averages $3/gal during that time, and you can choose a 25mpg car or a 100mpg hybrid. You'll spend $12k in gas, or $3k.

Now say you're looking to buy yourself a car (you're not laid off UAW) & you put 100k miles on it in the time it takes to pay off the loan.

Say you pay taxes, and your gov' took it and gave it to a company that turns around and makes their product in a factory in Europe: (Fisker)

NSFW Climate Change Bedtime Story

So which is it? Mixed Messages From Government Leaders on Health

Obama in this clip seems to say that the very people who will be at the 'head of the line' for flu vaccines are actually the very people who won't be at the head of the line according to public health workers actually administering the vaccine.

Obama: ...Unhealthy kids, pregnant women...

...........VS..........

"...officials sent out a notice Thursday saying supplies were limited so they first want to reach the target group - healthy, non-pregnant people ages 2 to 49, especially health care workers or those who care for infants."

So which is it, and aren't you glad politicians get involved in these types of decisions?

Iraq-Land of Manti, Obama-Pachus, McChrystal-Captain Moroni, Acorn-Morianton: Compare and contrast the parallels amongst yourselves.

Watching A Mighty Wind, in Spanish, is not very funny. Too bad so much relies on actually hearing the original actors' voices and timing.

Are there any phrases to say "maybe You just Can't Go Home Again" in Spanish that will make sense to a Spaniard? http://bit.ly/spUBR

The Broken Common Bond

Either I wasn't paying attention, or my professors failed to tell us, when we read Rigoberta Menchu, that it wasn't true.

At least 37 states, since the original 13, have been added to the Union, under the U.S. Constitution. Some readmitted, but why did it stop?

Illegal immigration destroys democracy, and if unchecked, entire republics. Think about it, and reject any politician who allows it.

I have already begun shrinking. I used to be 189cm tall, just 2 years ago-now 187 & still have 189 wingspan. At this rate I'll be 4'9" @ 76.

CNN+'s way to question the Nobel committee's decision? -> to hourly quote Hamas and Taliban leadership's grievances against the west. classy

feeling the sharp edges of my of my exploded bicuspid, wondering what's the point of socialized medicine that doesn't cover dental.

can't even breathe, listening to the Obvious Child, closing my eyes so hard it looks like a digitized iTunes screensaver,

and then developed a benign brain tumor. Benign my ass. When things get bad enough to leave, don't go back simply because you now know why.

whose mental and emotional instability leads her to betray the very principles that brought us together in the first place,

would rather have spent the rest of my life caring for a wheelchair-bound invalid, than with a useless woman

watched two episodes of Flashpoint, one in Spanish, one in English, and I am impressed. Thank you Antena 3.

Just read an interesting passage about Gid & some loud-mouthed intelligence officers said too much too loudly and made a bad situation worse

Confiscación de Tierras en Calabozo Edo-Guarico por parte del INTI

Caught on tape!

Feeling better today. Took a walk through the park before work, listened to Selected Shorts: http://ping.fm/rEclY

On top of all that, I've got the Police Academy Theme stuck in my head. Dum dum dedum da dee dee dum, dumde-du³-dum dedum, dada dee³ dum!

Not only did my pet get half-eaten by a falcon, (I've seen them flying suspiciously close lately,) but now Dumb & Dumber won't be the same.

Sad -left my pet bird on the balcony, and came home to find its body, with puncture marks, still almost entirely inside its cage, sans head.

Si estas pasando por un infierno, sigue para adelante. Si crees que lo mereces, aún sigue, y cuando te libras, eso también lo merecerás.

comes across some object made of a plastic & remembers a Christmas of Star Wars action figures, their tropical smell, and heat when chewed.
