I don't have to forgive or forget, because I don't care. It doesn't matter how hyped he is, Chris Brown isn't talented and can't put on a show without an amazing Dj and insane theatrics. And his being surrounded by truly amazing performers tonight magnified the fact that he is weaksauce. Rhianna has milked and capitalized on the sympathy of her adoring fans for years, and the entire thing just seemed too orchestrated. It's only reasonable the Chris Brown ride this "it's all forgotten" wave while he can. He'll go away soon enough.
I'm so glad I cut AT&T loose and switched to Verizon. Now while I can pay through the nose for service, but I can actually stay connected on a call.
Time for you to switch to decaf
It's really not funny how people refuse to admit that excess weight is unhealthy. I can't stand daytime TV and, coincidently, the first and only Dr Oz show I saw was last week while I was on the treadmill trying to lose some holiday weight. He quantified the risk or carrying excess weight and explained how to reduce the problem. He wasn't a dick at all, but he certainly didn't sugar coat it (pun intended) in an attempt make it easier for that audience to accept.
Carl Lagerfeld, on the other hand, is a complete fool.
Fiat owns Chrysler, which makes it all even more absurd.
The 6 series is a beautiful car. But the M6 is going to be well north of $120k, especially with the ceramic brakes. A CTS-V is about half the cost. If price and performance were proportionate (which it isn't, but let's just say) then for Cadillac to build a $100k-plus supercar would probably tear up just about everything else on the road.
Pfffft. Tourists. That'll teach you for trying to park in midtown. The only place to park on the street is in the west village, where the unnumbered streets are a mystery to people who don't know the city. Or you can pay $500/month to park safely in a garage.
10.) Hybrids and EVs are hopelessly boring lame twitmobiles - Commercially available hybrids and EV's are boring lame twit mobiles
9.) Diesels are smelly, noisy and slow - Who cares. They don't sell here. Get over it.
8.) If you ride a motorcycle, you will die a horrible early death - It's not s sure thing. But nearly everyone is in an accident at some point. I prefer four contact patches and 3000lbs of steel cushion surrounding me.
7.) There's no substitute for cubic inches - There's no substitute for technology.
6.) Any woman driving a Subaru is a lesbian - If she changes the oil in her Subaru, she is. Not that there's anything wrong with that… ;-)
5.) Miatas are for gay men - Not speaking in absolutes, but they kinda are.
4.) American cars are shoddy unreliable junk purchased by idiots - They used to be. Just like Hyundais used to be. Now they're not. Ironically, now you hear this said more often about Toyota owners.
3.) A Boxster isn't a real Porsche - Probably only douchebags would say that. I consider the Boxter a more "real" Porsche than the Cayenne, the Panamera or even the latest 911.
2.) Anything that has less than 300hp isn't fun or worth driving - Not true. But, all things being equal, having more HP is more fun.
1.) You're compensating - Just a cheap crack by someone who is annoyed by what they see, or who is just jealous.
Hi mileage, modified engine, window tint, missing wheel and trim pieces, not an E39.
Not even a question. Total CP
As far as I can tell, the SUV driver wasn't at fault. For two morons to be at a dead stop on a highway with no brake lights at night is an obstacle that will lead to disaster. If the SUV driver had been drinking, then shame on them. But that wasn't the cause of the accident.
"it retains its sense of drama and dignity long after production ended"
Are you kidding me with this? Have you driven this thing? It was awful. The NSX was a colossal failure. A pretty one... but that's it.
No to this car. It's just not good looking.
Old people aren't puppies. Just because they're old and cute doesn't mean they are lovable and cuddly. Let them serve their sentences.
Very misleading title. Any candidate's primary focus should always be on the middle class. Then the wealthy. Then the poor. Thats the way all candidates focus, both democrats and republicans. To pretend to have a platform focused on the poor is something a democrat would do, but not a republican. That's not to say that you neglect things that aren't the primary focus, but you have to determine priorities. Here's why...
Home Ownership
-The middle class own or plan to own homes, and are at risk of losing them or not being able to afford one. Providing programs that help them increase housing starts or sales of existing homes are positive economic indicators and does a lot to drive tax revenue.
-The wealthy aren't at risk of losing their homes. They are able to take advantage of the depressed housing market. Buying homes at a depressed rate hurts home values and tax revenue.
-The poor don't own. They often don't pay anything for the homes they live in. Renting or section 8 is not an economic indicator.
Employement
-The middle class work, and are at risk of losing their jobs. Or have lost their jobs already. Those who are out of work and are looking for jobs are reflected in the unemployment rate, an economic indicator.
-The wealthy have a larger buffer to compensate for an economic downturn.
-The poors who chronically aren't considered in the unemployment rate. Those who work in the service industry are highly reliant on the middle and upper classes.
Education
-The middle class is largely educated and financially more astute. They are generally equipped to take advantage of upswings in the economy.
-The wealthy are fat and happy regardless.
-A huge segment of the poors are undereducated and will generally remain poor in spite of the endless programs designed to change this reality.
Political Leaning
-The middle class votes about 50% republican and 50% democrat.
-The wealthy vote skews towards republican candidates. Romney is trending even better.
-The poors vote democrat. It's proven difficult to get the poor to vote. If it rains or snows, even fewer democrats turn out to vote.
Fundraising
-The middle class donate to his campaign in small increments. They are also vocal.
-The wealthy also donate to his campaign and rally others, but are limited to something like $2500
- The poor don't donate.
Is it really that difficult to understand why the middle class is his focus. And because he understands this, is why he will probably win.
They speak in code? That's completely not true. Believe me, they make up most of my family. They are quite frank, so is Fox news. Makes for fun Thanksgiving dinners. "Food Stamp president" refers to the socialist policies that he was arguing against at the time. And that Obama was pandering to a low rent constituency. Are you suggesting that blacks make up the only population that abuses food stamps? Not hardly.
You obviously have a real hangup if that's what you weave into this. I'm no fan of Gingrich, but race baiting for no reason is just disgusting and trashy.
This is what he said...
"Those who, you know, live in high-rise apartment buildings writing for fancy newspapers in the middle of town after they ride the metro, who don’t understand that for most Americans the ability to buy a home, to have their own property, to have a sense of belonging is one of the greatest achievements of their life, and it makes them feel like they are good solid citizens," "

Since when does purchasing stuff provide a sense of belonging and make you feel like a good citizen? Maybe he could learn a thing from these writers who rent and live in the close-knit neighborhoods in NYC, that there is more to life than accumulating a lot of crap to feel a sense of purpose. I'm all for owning a home, or three. But home ownership isn't for everyone, and your self esteem shouldn't be dependent upon it.
Not a bad looking guy, with the exception of the unfortunate whitehead on his chin. He's in advertising for christsake... they should have photoshopped that out. Anyway, good for him.
He's not right about a lot of things. But he's right on this.
Toyota "reinvents" stupidity with this ad. How did that ad get the green light? WTF?
