Plan B Forum

Ke-rist ona stick. you take the same oil my TDI does and I get it imported via UPS at $10 per litre.... His Benz having a GAS engine, I suspect it does not use the same oil as your DIESEL Jetta. I recall most M-B dealers use Mobil 1. And, of course, they mark it up about 1000%. I love being able to...

If by this: This may involve requiring our human posters to identify themselves as such though an extra step inserted in the posting/commenting process. He means having people enter a captcha every time they post, I really think that would be counter-productive; a cure worse than the disease... Whe...

I heard the story on National Public Radio...I guess that proves they're *NOT* liberal after all--right, Dave? ;) (FWIW, the "court babe" who issued the injunction against implementation of the law did so on the grounds that in their haste to pass this law the Republicans violated a state Open Meeti...

All four of the planes hijacked on 9/11/01 were internal US flights.

"fearie dust"??... I don't know if that was a typo, but if not (or even if it was) it's a brilliant invention, and a great addition to our political vocabulary!

Interesting slide-show of various newspaper front page stories. My favorites: http://www.suntimes.com/csp/cms/sites/dt.common.streams.StreamServer.cls?STREAMOID=Ee$We7Zfd7hLbLLD$Wt_Os$daE2N3K4ZzOUsqbU5sYvKc2fD6h5mMp_NFSCltOfyWCsjLu883Ygn4B49Lvm9bPe2QeMKQdVeZmXF$9l$4uCZ8QDXhaHEp3rvzXRJFdy0KqPHLoMevc...

Now where did they put that "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner, now that it's actually appropriate?

Oh yeah...Bush took it back to Texas with him when he left....

...he has it hanging on his bedroom wall.

For what it's worth, I've always figured you as not so much racist or unintelligent so much as just ignorant and unwilling to rise above the racist background in which you've lived all your life. I've seen signs of openmindedness in some of your posts, but I've seen more signs of blindly parroting t...

Always keep a good book in the car, I say. And a warm blanket. Lessons from living in cold climates. Blanket, sweatpants, thermal undies (tops, bottoms and socks), two pairs of gloves, boots, wool hat, flannel shirt, extra coat, water, snack, a shovel (folding style) and a bag of kitty litter (to h...

Well, Guin ... oldr got it basically right, except that we were expecting the blizzard but instead of starting as a regular snowstorm and building in strength it pretty much hit full force and stayed that way for about 14-15 hours. (The day started out clear, with predictions of a blizzard later tha...

I sure could've used you--or at least your truck--last night, Jarl . I was one of the hundreds of motorists who were stranded all Tuesday night (6:30pm-6:45am) on Lake Shore Drive during the blizzard that just hit Chicago. An empty or almost-empty rear-wheel-drive cargo van is probably the last type...

Last I heard, it was Congress--not the President--who had the power to pass or repeal laws, and all the Republicans in that body are busy making a big show of a useless effort to repeal the administration's baby steps toward a more rational health care system. Why, with record federal deficits and s...

IIRC, Jarl's somewhere in/near Massachusetts.

Well said, Sue! I agree completely.

bsg makes a good point: even in the least "progressive" (for want of a better word) states, there exists a sizable minority of progressives, doing their best to change things--and occasionally succeeding. (Look at the 2008 election results in states like Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina, and New M...

You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

Tut Tut Tut.

So what would be a reasonable mileage reimbursement rate, and how would you make sure that no non-business miles were reimbursed, and--probably most important--how much would that additional enforcement cost? If I'm reading that article you posted correctly, that one legislator drove over 60,000 (66...
