Re: I don't know for sure if I ever saw an MGTA until last week

Econoline, thanks for the link. That MGTA appears to be restored as one would have been built for racing back when the TA was nearly new, not that they weren't raced bone stock in their day. Nice, expensive, restomod job. Since mine still has four nice original fenders, I'd not do that with it, even...

Re: Faint praise . . .

Maybe it's time for the return of debtors prison. The closest thing I'm aware of is an idiot I know of who has been jailed repeatedly for not paying court ordered child support for at least four kids with three women. He recently announced that he wants to undergo a sex change. I guess that would k...

Re: The nation has been watching Kansas' abortion vote

Hummm, the link still works for me, possibly because I have an online subscription. Thank you for your additional research.

It's interesting that EX Rep Tim Huelskamp still has PAC money at his disposal.

The nation has been watching Kansas' abortion vote

The ballot issue was actually for a state constitutional amendment which would have allowed state legislators to change laws on abortion. The state supreme court ruled that the constitution allowed abortion in 2019. The changes would have, in all probability, outlawed abortion in almost all cases. T...

Re: Female journalist told skirt too short when reporting on Alabama execution

My guess is that the woman he killed didn't enjoy being killed either.

Re: We will soon see Vietnamese electric cars in the USA

Snailgate, Your brakeless Focus was probably made before the 2010 model year when the dual clutch automatic came out. The company has settled several lawsuits, replaced transmissions, and bought back hundreds of Focus and Fiesta cars made from 2011 to 2016.

Smat Car? I wanted a SMALL car for city driving, to replace a Ford Escort. Two seater was big snuff. The SMART checked that box just fine.

I've not read Thomas Frank's book. The original by that title was written my William Allen White in the 1890s. Some things never change.

I'm curious. I guess this is political.

Has the USA ever flown flags at half-staff for another foreign dignitary's death, assassinated or not? It seems odd that American flags are lowered for Former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe.

I know we won that war, so why are we so friendly at this time?
