Hallelujah!
My dual-tuner HD box from Comcast running the M$ s/w SUX! I was hoping they would license Tivo, but anything will be better than what I have now.
People hate Hummers because they represent opulence with a complete disregard for conserving gas when our country becomes more and more dependent on it.
The truth is, there are many other trucks/SUVs that are equally bad w/r/t gas mileage (like Range Rover, Lincoln/Ford, Chevy/GMC, VW, etc). The Hummer just became the icon for this class of vehicles and is the whipping boy of the environmental movement.
I own a Chevy Suburban that is probably one of the top 5 gas guzzlers on the market. However, I am fortunate to live in the Midwest where E85 gas stations are more abundant than the left or right coasts. Personally, I think hybrids in many ways have become the anti-Hummer icon for environmentalists. Unfortunately as this article observes hybrids don't exactly live up to the hype. Hybrids are the media darling and unfortunately hog the alternative fuel spotlight. I know that the benefits to E85 have been debated on/. before but I for one am glad to see companies like GM and Ford make investments in flex-fuel technology. I take some comfort in knowing that when I fill up my Suburban with E85, at least the majority of the proceeds go to local Midwest farmers who can reinvest in newer processing methods that will one day reduce the production and distribution costs of Ethanol.
Neoconservatives applaud this situation: with glee, they self-servingly "praise" the hardworking nature of the Korean parents are. The consequence is that his parents were just too busy at work to give Seung Hui Cho the proper care that he needed.
Ah, so the VT tragedy was the fault of Conservatives.
Most American neoconservatives favor an open-border policy because they like to use illegal and legal immigration to suppress wages.
Uh... you could not be more wrong here, it's quite the opposite.

Tiger Woods is great! It's actually too real. My real-life slice gets picked up by the wiiremote. :-(
