I caught the very beginning of the season finale of “Glee” while helping get my son ready for bed (my wife is a fan of the show) and an outstanding song was performed. It was “You Only Get What you Give” off the album Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too by the New Radicals. I...

Have You Been Brainwashed Too?
Some Cars I Can’t Review
You’ll probably never read a road test review by me of the Nissan Leaf, or the Chevy Spark, or the Toyota RAV4 electric. And that may tell you every thing you need to know about these vehicles. I can’t review them because they can’t make it down here for me to review. “Down here”...

2012 Subaru Impreza
Subaru is serious about fixing the main problem with Subarus – they’re gas pigs. Or rather, were. The 2012 Impreza – with a new engine (smaller) and a new transmission (CVT) isn’t. And we’re not talking about a Mickey Mouse 2-3 MPG difference here, either. Last year’s Impreza – equipped with its standard 2.5...

Forget Bain — Obama’s public-equity record is the real scandal
Marc A. Thiessen http://www.washingtonpost.com May 24, 2012 Despite a growing backlash from his fellow Democrats, President Obama has doubled down on his attacks on Mitt Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital.

If you don’t take the time to get a policy issued by a company that deals specifically with insuring antique and collectible cars, you’ll probably pay more – and get less coverage.

Hi Eric…Yes..It’s me. We are looking at buying a accessible van to transport Rodney. I think the VA will pay for all modifications. WE got shot down on the vehicle grant a few years back and never pursued it further. We need to do this as it’s getting harder for me to get him...

What Race Tracks Can Teach Us About Government Roads
Thoreau said, strike at the root. Ok. Here goes: If roads were not government-owned all the abuses currently perpetrated by the state upon harming-no-one motorists would disappear. For instance: One of the excuses given in support of our dumbed-down traffic laws is that it’s necessary to accommodate . . . dumbed-down drivers. Speed limits...

Not Groveling with Thanks.
WAR is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I...

2012 Volvo C30 Polestar
Volvo translates from the Swedish (roughly) as I roll. Not rock and roll. The company is known for building conservative, sensible shoes cars – not saucy cars. So what to make of the C30 Polestar? It’s a factory made (well, dealer-tuned) higher-performance version of Volvo’s sporty C30 hatchback – packing 250 hp vs. the...

The NWO Elite Don’t Want You to Know.
Submitted via email by M. -thanks Guys– We talk a lot on the site about the Big Question: what’s the Elite’s end-game? I used to think Alex Jones was over the top–until I began following the same research he’d done…actually reading the documents from Club of Rome, Rockefeller Foundation, etc. etc. And he’s right....
