The Architect.

Is Karl Rove a plus or minus for the USA? His political genius is evident by the mere fact of his villification by the left. The press has been having a field day accusing him of everything short of eating babies. What is it about him that creates such heated and passionate feelings even after he was completely cleared in the Valarie Plame fiasco?

Question: What does Karl Rove and the events concerning the disgraced Rev. Ted Haggard have in common?
Answer: NOTHING
Don’t tell that to Martin Lewis. His amazing aptitude for creating negative political associations where none previously existed is astounding. His attempt at humorous analogy is nothing more than a poorly constructed cheap shot.
Huffpo's standards have reached another all time low.

Scary car.

Just traded in my seven year old huge gas guzzling clunker equipped with a V-8 engine for something a little newer and environmentally friendlier. In the spirit of Halloween I could'nt help but think about the fact that some cars are, well, scary. You know, the kind that make you wonder what kind of person would design, and worse, what kind of person would buy and drive it.
"What were they thinking?" springs to mind.
From Tom & Ray Magliozzi's Car Talk "Top 10 Scary Cars" here is the one that scares me the most:

2004 Hummer H1
Scary for: Society, the environment and therapists



When you stop to think about what kind of person would buy a Hummer, you begin to worry about the future of our country. This is a person who feels so inadequate inside that he has to drive around pretending the 82nd Airborne will be backing him up in his next argument over a parking space. On the environmental side, the Hummer burns through resources like there's no tomorrow. And if enough idiots keep driving them, there won't be.
