Replying to: tagman (Nov 05, 2008 5:49 pm) I will try to be more careful next time.  I think I actually do better with the rum cake than without.

Replying to: tagman (Nov 06, 2008 6:38 am)  I must note, the 328i is not a happy camper at slow speeds in local traffic. It must be driven fast and hard. I've taken some hard, fast turns with it and its stability is astonishing! For normal, boring driving around town, the Rabbit is preferable. Therefore, for local errands, such as when I need to replenish my insatiable thirst for rum, the Rabbit will be on call. The wife is still taking driving lessons. I figure by the end of this year, she should be "free." Even more reason to hide my spare greenbacks in my old rum bottles. The question is-where to hide the rum bottles? A lot more important than any of this is that you recover completely back to your normal self. All this car stuff takes a back seat to that.... way, way, back!

Replying to: hpowders (Nov 06, 2008 9:23 am) LOL. That would be a good skit for SNL. I can see it now... BO appoints himself head of the IRS, creates a new position as the nation's first self-appointed "tax-collector-in-chief", and travels door-to-door collecting money to redistribute the wealth. TM

Replying to: tagman (Nov 06, 2008 10:43 am) I also got a kick out of the George Bush guy on Jay Leno, whenever they did "Celebrity Jeopardy." I admit, many folks are fed up with the Republicans and want change. I just hope BO appoints a competent secretary of defense, because Joe Biden speaks the truth-Obama is seen as dovish by our enemies, and I fear he will be tested in a direct confrontation with Al Qaeda before the end of 2009. One good thing about George Bush and it was a biggie-he prevented Al Qaeda from attacking us again. Change is one thing, but you can't have change without a country to change.

Replying to: circlew (Nov 06, 2008 4:42 am) And where were all those government hand outs for Silcon Valley after the internet bubble burst a few years ago? Did many information technology firms shut down or go bankrupt? Ofcourse they did and despite those bankruptcies USA has stronger and more profitable information technology firms than what existed during the bubble. Creative destruction and creative innovation is the source of prosperity and not government handouts to firms that cant compete. Toyota's shares are being battered today because of a bitter sales and earnings forecast. What is Toyota doing about it? The will introduce four unique hybrid Toyota and Lexus models during the year of 2009. You wont hear Toyota screaming for handouts since they do know how to reinvent themselves during economic booms and dooms. OPEC crisis 1974 and the Big 3 are caught offguard. Oil prices and environmetalism today the Big 3 are caught offguard again. What have they learned? Any company that sells products that consumers dont want deserves to die. GM, Ford and Chrysler RIP and hopefully innovative US firms like Telsa will thrive and grow!

Replying to: hpowders (Nov 06, 2008 12:02 pm) And how did Bush confront Al Queda? By going to Baghdad and spending over a trillion dollars in a country where Saddam Hussein was very effective in torturing and killing Iraqi Al Queda members. That IMO is a very indirect way of confronting Al Queda. Obama/Biden wants to directly confront Al Queda in Afghanistan and Pakistan with more troops. That IMO is a far more direct way of confronting Al Queda especially since that is exactly where most of Al Queda is hiding.
