This diamond encrusted car costs 4.8 million dollars and if you want to touch it, it will cost you $1000! It belongs to Prince Alwaleed of Saudi Arabia.

Think about this car next time you are struggling to fill your tank or your local government representative tells you “Americans just need to get used to not doing the traveling they have come accustom too” or that “cheap, affordable transportation” may be a thing of the past. I want you all to think about this scumbag, his car and everything you had to sacrifice to give it to him.

This ‘Letter of Apology’ was written by Lieutenant General Chuck Pitman, US Marine Corps, Retired.

It is the epitome of exactly how I feel in regards to the current world state of things. It’s nice to know that there are others out there who share my convictions.

Enough from me, let’s get to the goods.

As amazing as it may sound, we have the technology to drive our existing cars on water. I first heard of this some 4 to 6 years ago while watching a Discovery channel documentary on cars and the future of cars. I learned many interesting facts about the future of cars…cars that drive themselves, cars that will be able to mend themselves when dented or even change color on command, but by far the one thing I learned that day, that really stuck with me was the fact that there was a man in our own country who had learned to burn water for fuel.

Jimmy Klein was the real deal. I watched engrossed as this man took what looked like an ordinary blow torch and cut or burned several objects of varying size and materials, with far less effort than a traditional acetylene torch would entail. It was like he had trapped the sun at the tip of his torch and even more amazing was that the torch remained cool to the touch even while burning through a think slab of metal or iron. It wasn’t long after he made this amazing discovery that he applied the same principle to his car.

A friend sent me this funny diatribe. Again I have no clue as to it’s validity but it sure as shit is funny! Check it out;

I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I’m too old to track down terrorists. You can’t be older than 42 to join the military. They’ve got the whole thing ass-backwards. Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn’t be able to join a military unit until you’re at least 35.

For starters:
Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.

I thought I gave a crap. Turns out I don’t. I’m sitting here trying to watch crappy YouTube footage on Roger Clemens. The Rangers game is on. Chris Drury just scored to make it 2-1 in the second against San Jose. I’m finding it quite hard to give a fuck about Roger & his steroids issues.

A lot of it has to do with exactly what my buddy, 2Cups, pointed out recently. Why the hell is Congress involved in all this? Haven’t we got bigger, more pressing issues at hand? Like say, avoiding the fall of Western civilization by getting off of foreign oil reserves before we hit our oil break point? Most experts say that is what will ultimately bring down the Untied States into a potential third world state. Worse is they expect, based on our current rate and growth of oil consumption, to hit this break point within the next 1 to 2 decades! This means within our lifetimes. Certainly in the lifetimes of our children and like in the early years of their lives. Anybody want that? Anyone? That sounds like something Congress should be talking more about on TV, hmm?

Well whaddaya know? I’m a Democrat?!! According to this tool (”tool”, heh heh), I am in alignment on a lot of key issues with presidential hopeful and former senator John Edwards. Who knew? I’ll admit Edwards seems likable enough, but would I actually lend him my vote?

Thankfully, I am relieved of such serious decisions because the rest of you have ruled him out as an option - nice guys finish last ya know. But, like my compatriot here, this tool did make me think about a lot of these issues and about the remaining candidates. I, too, have come away from all this looking to McCain to become our nation’s 44th president, but in all honesty, he’s the “default” option.
