In the news... the Hummer is green?

A teen built an igloo and was found by police to have 2 bongs, a survival knife, hammer and 7.5 grams of pot. He was arrested. My sources say the pot was enough to make a person happy for a couple of days, nothing more. What an incredibly stupid waste of time for our judicial system. The article didn't mention a Taco Bell in the neighborhood...

So I know many of you thought the cash-for-clunkers program was stupid. (It wouldn't have been my first choice on how to spend a few billion, but it was better than nothing...) Japan had a similar program with restrictions that kept out virtually every American made car. Given that almost half the vehicles purchased under cash-for-clunkers was Japanese, the Obama administration pressured the Japanese to ease up. They did. Now a Japanese citizen can get a subsidy for buying a Hummer.

Don't you hate it when you go into your arranged marriage with high expectations and find the bride to be cross-eyed and sporting a beard?
