    No, not all Stingrays say Stingray (and no Macos say Maco).

    And your contention that you use 'inbred' correctly is laughable even in the sense of "innate or native". ("...inbred to..." would be correct (if obtuse), "...inbred into..." is not unless you are talking about families of banjo playing albinos.) What you should have said is "...to people not inbred with Mac trivia...." or some such.

    Now that your grammar and automotive history lesson is done with, what about the point?

    And those bastards at Chevy with their so-called "Corvette". There are 5 or 6 different cars all with the official name "Corvette". That confuses everybody so technichal manuals start talking about "C4s" and "1994 1/2s". Since these are utterly retarded product names, the Chevy drivers have pretty much fallen back to the code names. So when you look on carpoint you see all these ads for "Stingray Corvettes" and the like. Which of course makes zero sense to someone not inbred (sic) into the Chevy community.

    I list machines by code name in my inventory database and no one will tell me what the new one's are called.

Never mind that he doesn't have the stones to do anything else without checking it through his handlers either.

    What's funny is that as a progressive (ie: a leftist, not a centrist neo-liberal) I find that most news shows have a conservative bias. I imagine that in reality most news shows are centrist and that I as a leftist see them as conservative while you as a conservative see them as being liberal. The problem is in you guys defining the political landscape so that a moderate centrist program is seen as having the dreaded liberal stance.

    Please, these shows are businesses. They maximize profits by appealing to the greatest number of people. If the News is liberal then they see the majority of their audience as being liberal. As it is, the shows are centrist and the vast majority of their audience is as well.

    Shit, if John Stossel (evil ultra-liberal ABC/Disney 'member?) is a liberal I am the King of Siam. Get real and stop parroting whiney conservative pablum.

    "...just as a Porsche 911 will outrun a Dodge Viper that has a much larger engine than the Porsche."

    You better check your GT racing results. Vipers hold their own quite well against the 911s. Even with the recent rule changes that aid turbo cars, the big engined Vipers and Corvettes still dominate on all but the curviest courses... unless it rains and their torque starts to work against them.

    Your point is still valid however. The 911s use turbos and high RPMs to make a much smaller engine competitive. The low weight (and midship placement) also contributes to it's finer handling. A point can also be made that any car that pulls a sub 13 second quarter mile and tops out at over 180MPH is far far faster than any conceivable normal usage would dictate. Same deal with chips, my Athlon 1GHz is woefully undertasked 99.9% of the time (As is my RX7 ;) and for the most part seems no more zippy than the G4s I take care of at work.

    What record? There was a recount in Illinois and 10 other states in 1960. The end result... Hawaii switched from Nixon to Kennedy. Yup, that's right. The republicans cried foul, launched investigations, and lost 3 electoral votes. In Illinois itself the recount gave Nixon around 943 extra votes, far less than the 4500 needed to switch the electoral votes. After the recount in Illinois the republicans still protested and took it to the State Election Board which was composed of 4 republicans and 1 democrat. The election board unanimously threw the petition out because the GOP could not produce even a single affidavit on its behalf.

    The fact is that multiple election boards, federal and state judges, an independant investigator in Illinois, and several academic studies have failed to show any evidence of massive vote fraud. This, of course, doesn't mean there was no fraud but that, if there was, it was done so well as to be undetectable.
