  1. Gotcha. Someone should show the president that stuff.
  2. That venue is an upholstery store by day and night club by weekend. That thing we're sitting on is an old backseat from a car. A dark and eclectic place to see music.
  3. I heard they were going out of business I only own crocs and sidi cycling shoes right now.
  4. Seems to be working. Maybe super mod fixed it.
  5. You had always seemed like such a plausible mate. Oh well.
  6. It seems to me that the indie universe is divided into Wilco fans and Radiohead fans.
  7. i dont follwos teh VC anymore. WHose sock puppet is this? im too stoopid to get angry.
  8. You could steam the backseat windows AND join the mile high club... Try that on a smart car
  9. Way to hate on the planet. Did you vote for McCain?
  10. Aircraft maker Terrafugia has successfully flown its "flying car," taking the vehicle a step closer to becoming commercially available. Officially called the Transition Roadable Aircraft Proof of Concept, the two-seat aircraft had its maiden flight March 5 at Plattsburgh International Airport in Plattsburgh, N.Y. It was a runway flight, which means the aircraft only flew above the runway. The fight from takeoff to landing lasted only about 30 seconds. Nevertheless, Terrafugia said the test proved that the Transition is ready for more advanced flying. Test pilot retired U.S. Air Force Col.
  11. Well, if ones point of view is that all that's left to do is bury the coffin than money that would go to these companies would be better served to going to the people in some form or another. Any penny that didn't would be 'a waste.' I don't fathom how they save this. While they're saving jobs money is going to support other things that while saving jobs aren't really helping people. And in the end that's going to have been more money that could have gone to directly helping people. These are people that are going to need new jobs, in new industries, and ideally ones that we won't allow corpor
  12. Sorry Flushed. As in wasted. And, besides, what have they done to deserve to get a bailout that others can't get. Bottom line is if the majority opinion is to help folks hand the cash to those effected in extended benefits and such. Most of this money will go to trying to prop up these companies for sustainability, but given their uncompetitive wage and production costs it simply can't be done. That money will be wasted. And it's money that could go to use in more helpful ways.
  13. Flushed. As in wasted. What have they done to justify the handout that others can't get?
  14. Because bailing out that which should sustain itself makes sense? Allowing it to fail makes sense because we've allowed our MFGs (and most of our customer service and tech jobs) to be exported. Our auto industry is a giant fail. And until we're forced to recreate how we do things there's no hope. It's not a competitive industry. Giving them billions of dollars to flush only puts off the inevitable. We need to have our hand forced so genuine change can occur. Until we actually start to produce things here on a large scale at competitive prices (read cheaper labor and mfging) we'll just keep
