War, Piracy and Cars
Nov. 23rd, 2010 09:41 amLike the label on the tin says.
War: I see that North Korea decided to shell South Korea. I really have no idea what the North is thinking. Are they trying to start a war? Sure looks like it to me.
Piracy: So, the first US piracy case in nearly 200 years is in the hands of the jury. Per the article, deliberations won't start until after Thanksgiving. BTW, for anybody that says "in the Good Old Days (tm) we used to hang them!" please note that the last US piracy trial was held in 1819. So, we did used to hang pirates, but they got a trial first.
Cars: Apparently Rush Limbaugh is upset that the Chevy Volt was awarded Motor Trend's Car of the Year. Well, the Motor Trend people are not amused. The most humorous part of the article? If you can stop shilling for your favorite political party long enough to go for a drive, you might really enjoy the Chevy Volt. I’m sure GM would be happy to lend you one for the weekend. Just remember: driving and Oxycontin don’t mix.
