Glenn Beck Dismantles CT Attorney General

We never do actually find out what law was broken that allows for an Attorney General to act…

I’m with Beck. The bonuses gaul the hell out of me, but for an AG to act they need more than righteous anger as a reason. A law needs to be broken. When the AG [...]

IOC Ends Torch Relay

From Yahoo Sports, Friday March 27, 2009:

The International Olympic Committee decided to end the globetrotting torch relay, discontinuing an event that began with the Athens Games in 2004 and was used again by the organizers of the Beijing Games this past August. For future games, the torch will only tour the country where the games [...]

Please Buy Your Chevrolet from Manfredi Chevrolet in Staten Island

After my horrific experience at Curry Chevrolet, I had pretty much given up on American car dealers. For the second time in 5 years (a ratio of 2 out of 2), my experience with an American dealership, a Chevrolet one similar to the first, was an unmitigated disaster. I had two intentions the [...]

Hurry And Sign: The “Someone’s Coming In” Lie

Remember my problems with Curry Chevrolet? If you don’t just Google them; I’m right on the first page of results telling you not to buy a car from them.

Anyway, in my story, I mention:

As we were sitting there, our sales rep asked around if that car had been sold. Everyone chimed in that it [...]

Two Sentences = Disciplinary Action

On Monday morning, two hundred forty employees arrived at work at Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. When they did, they were told they would no longer be working there, handed a letter, and basically told to hit the bricks. The probably didn’t come as a surprise to anyone; my mother’s been talking [...]

A “Definitional Difference.”

So how is it that Strong and Sound are not the same thing when describing our economy? Well, just ask the White House. There’s apparently a world of difference between the two. One makes you out of touch and irresponsible and one means you have a vision for the future with a [...]

Sony: Horrible UE Yet Again

No one makes for a horrible user experience the way Sony does. Frankly, for a company that large, it’s as if no one in it actually uses the products they sell. A friend of mine has a Sony BDP-S300 Blu Ray player. Of course it won’t play some newer movies, and since [...]

The Fundamentals of Our Economy Are Strong… Or Something…

Remember when John McCain said “the fundamentals of our economy are strong” during the election? Everyone jumped on him with both feet. You couldn’t find enough fauxtrage in the world to cover it. It was thrown at McCain again and again in an attempt to paint him as “out of touch” and [...]

Why I Don’t Believe in Unions

For the last few weeks, I’ve been formulating a thought on the greatest fraud known to blue collar workers; the union. Go down to a construction site or into a carpenter’s shop and ask them flat out how they feel about the union. Most of them will tell you it’s the most important [...]

More Stem Cell Breakthroughs Sans Embryos

Yet again, a story of stem cell advancement that barely gets noticed because it doesn’t involve destruction of an embryo.

Shaun Boyd of CBS4 Denver reports on a blind Colorado girl who went to China for experimental stem cell treatments which have radically improved her vision — she’s now taking driving lessons.

Macie Morse was born [...]

There Was Never a “Ban on stem cell research”

“If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” -Adolf Hitler

I read a paragraph on Gregg Henson’s blog today. Normally, I agree with him, but today he just rubbed me the wrong way because something he wrote was insanely wrong, but it’s something I’ve talked about here [...]

Democrats in Glass Houses

Lefties hold a rally hoping for President Bush’s continued success. (via Theodore’s World)

Boy oh boy did Rush Limbaugh cause a kerfuffle when he said he wanted Obama to fail if meant an increase in liberal programs in the US and socialized medicine. People were downright indignant that he would dare wish ill on the [...]

Almost a Week Later: Still Not Buying from Curry Chevrolet in Scarsdale

Well, it’s almost a week since we thought we “bought” a new 2009 Malibu 2LT, and we’re in the process of looking for a replacement. It turns out Donnie’s cousin works for Manfredi in Staten Island, so we’re going to hit them up today and see what we can do. If he offers [...]

Do Not Buy a Car From Curry Chevrolet in Scarsdale

Against my better judgment, I went to Curry Chevrolet on Sunday with my wife. We’re in the market for a new car and despite my discomfort with buying an American car, we did have relatively good luck with our eight year old Chevrolet Malibu. We figured we would go in, look around, and [...]
