So my mom has been wanting a new car for a while. Being a teacher in Florida and having just put one son through college (me) and my brother going into his junior year at FSU, she's been trying to wait for the right time.

Now my mom is a liberal poster child. A public school teacher and union member with a Master's degree, the blood in our family runs pretty blue. So she's been looking into taking advantage of the Cash for Clunkers (CARS) program.

Every night this week she's being getting on her laptop and researching various car models to see if their mileages would be enough of an improvement over that of her '02 3.2L V6 Dodge Caravan to qualify.

This is for my dad.

Maybe if stem cell research had gotten the go-ahead, he'd still be here. As it is this Sunday is the 1st anniversary of his death from complications from Lou Gehrig's Disease.

He couldnt be here today to see that sonafabitches party booted the hell out of office, but by god, he's be proud.

If he was here he'd say WOOF.

We did, and we will.

The Republic is falling apart and I feel nice...

Well, shit... MsLaura's got a point when she says that impeachment is a nuclear option and that it generates nuclear fallout. Dammit, its almost enough to make an SDS member renege on the issue, and hell, I've been unequivocal about stringin' up the bastards since the Iraqi Occupation. But this is not really about that. This is about how, despite the horrid things occuring to and scarring of our very Constitution, the very Document I saw bathed in green light at the National Archives, perhaps the last thing I hold Holy, that a person can get a dopamine rush. It's quite an odd thing. To consider buying a gun to defend oneself against the federal government, and at the same time attend a 4th party with a lovely brunette. How surreal that at the same time that the bite of fatalism can hit, that one of the most primal facts of life can continue to operate.

The revolution will not be televised, but it'll probably get decent coverage in Wired. I just thought it was time to update that adage. Before I launch into my ecstatic tirade, I just want to ask, those of you who don't read Wired magazine from time to time, WHY THE HELL ARENT YOU?! Despite being owned by corporate giant Conde Nast, read any given story on Wired's site and you'll see something so painfully hard to find in America - JOURNALISM. I've almost never seen them succumb to hype, and that's because they actually do their job and research before doing a story. If you don't want to subscribe, fine, I don't (college=poor) but good GAWD when they put all their articles online for free after a few days/weeks?!

Anyway, yesterday the game just changed in the automotive world and most everybody, true to form, missed it. May I intorduce exhibit A: Tesla Motors. More below the fold, beechez. Read More
