I realized a little while ago that the only person who I hadn’t communicated directly with about this whole “atheists are evil” North Carolina Senate flap is Elizabeth Dole. So I decided to write her a letter. And to share it with everyone else. Senator Dole, As an atheist, I am appalled at your blatant [...]
Elizabeth Dole has released an ad that has audio of her opponent, Kay Hagan, shouting “There is no god.” But there’s a little problem with it. That never actually happened. Dole either faked the audio, or used another women who sounds a lot like Hagan to record it and played it over a picture of [...]
I’ve become a pretty big fan of Leo LaPorte’s various podcasts. They’re funny and informative and make me feel like I’m not surrounded by people for whom light bulbs are a sinful decadence. But when it comes time for their recommendations, I feel like a country bumpkin. Recent Leo and Steve Gibson were talking about [...]
I was reading a posting from one of my “friends” on MySpace about how their life would be if they responded to all the forwards out there. And then it hit me; “This crap is flying around MySpace, which means this isn’t clogging my inbox.” Guess there’s something good about everything. Even if it’s MySpace
I’m turning off trackbacks and pingbacks because there’s some spammer out there who thinks it’s “advertising” to post unrelated comments to disreputable websites. Now, I hate normal advertising. But advertising using the server space and bandwidth I pay for? That’s a paddlin’. I’ll be taking suggestions in the comments as to what I should do [...]
via Trollhattan So here’s a car that is not only a hybrid, but can also run on pure ethanol and run all-electric at low speeds. And it fits into their conventional body styling and provides a “sporty” ride for those who need that sort of thing. And what does GM do? Kills the project. This [...]
FYI Blog: Same Company. New Tune. There are a lot of polls and research that show Americans are worried. Things like world conflicts, higher gas prices and natural disasters (just to name a few) are unsettling us. Americans are seeking reassurance. The nostalgic footage featured in “Then and Now” is engaging and reminds people of [...]
via GM’s FastLane Blog And finally, time-starved women are hungry for a chance to get away from it all – so our dealerships are hosting “ladies night out” events to create a relationship that goes beyond our products. Recently we’ve had dealers host a Bunco party and a Girl Scout Girl Power Clinic; we’ve also [...]
GM’s FYI blog has a post up profiling Lori Wingerter. She looks like a nice enough person, and what I’m about to say has no bearing on what I think of her as a human being or a professional. But have you read this stuff? It’s full of half-truths, omissions, disingenuous statements, and out-and-out lies. [...]
Ethanol is a red herring. It’s a way for GM to point to something and claim they’re being environmentally responsible. What good is ethanol if the car still only gets 20mpg? And the fact that this 100% ethanol car is a pie-in-the-sky sports car is just more evidence that ethanol and fuel efficiency is just [...]
