    These punishments amuse me, but don't you have anything that involves a taser and/or nipple clamps?

    Sorry about the bad sound on that video- hard to pick up a boombox when there's a 60 MPH desert wind howling and a generator roaring 10 feet away.

    You may as well be spanking the Germans as punishment. They'll break the rules on purpose.

    Is the dog a judge or a driver?


    This is really a cruel penalty, by the way. Ineffectual on the Germans, though, I agree.

    Myself, I woke up in the morning and put on my mp3 of the All in the Family theme song. And folks dug it. Everyone's into a little something different out there, its not really possible to stereotype.

    Ok, repeating myself here-- I guess the server hamsters ate my damn post-- anyways with or without my help, did the DMV penalty get implemented? I wanna see that one in action. I couldn't figure out how to generate a realistic-looking DMV form... or how to edit existing DMV pdfs. :(


    On a different note, Murilee-- I think the techno for the burning man penalty has to be louder, and more annoying.


    Try Scooter's "CRANK IT UP" in there with some other bad, blaring happy hardcore. Reference:

    You see, Murilee, this kind of thing doesn't really occur naturally in the southern regions of CA.


    Someone prove me wrong with a Los-Angeles based art car, because I've yet to see one.

    Wish I was there. Not much of an art car scene in Colorado. That could be good or bad.

    @FromaBuick6: Sorry you can't tell the difference between West Oakland and Berkeley.


    May Day is not a communist holiday for anybody involved in the event. Yeah, we're all working stiffs, and mostly left of center. However, if you can't enjoy a night out with people who are slightly different that yourself, you have serious issues. Really, it was a great party for people who wanted to have fun.

    FromaBuick6: Oh, pish tosh, sir! Nonsense! A 4.6% increase in the marginal income tax rate for Americans earning over $250,000 a year is the conservative's worst, worst, worst nightmare. Auschwitz, the rape of Nanking, the Killing Fields of Democratic Kampuchea, the Black Death of 1347, the eventual heat death of the entire universe, all pale in comparison with so diabolically monstrous an injustice.


    My GOD! It's SOCIALISM! Prezdint Obama, why don't you just POUR GASOLINE on us and SET US ON FIRE!!!1! Aah, aah, uh, ahhh.

    @wkiernan: Now, is that a 4.6% increase, as in, if the current tax rate were 30%, it would be increased by 4.6% of 30%, to 31.38%, or is that an additional 4.6% on top of the 30%, to bring the rate to 34.6%?


    I ask because I'm interested in knowing precisely how much money is going to be sapped out of the private sector and flushed down that giant black hole of bureacracy. Not that I'm jadded or anything.
