www.politicalcompass.org/test Takes about 5 minutes. No names, no registration needed, no BS. Answer honestly - no one's watching! It's pretty damn amazing. Neat stuff and historical footnotes to read as well. For the record, I scored "Libertarian Right". More specifcally, the upper left...

What in the hell would cause oversteer on a car that has NEVER oversteered in the entire time I've owned it? (It's a Toyota Matrix wagon (front wheel dr). 1.8L, 5spd). I was heading home a couple nights ago and took an exit ramp I take everyday for half a decade. Downhill grade +/-5%, constant...

I don't know why this just occured to me a few days ago, but for as long as I can remember, I have NEVER seen a police chopper hold in a "hover" over something. They ALWAYS seem to fly orbits, even if it's over a static scene, often at pretty high airspeed, at relatively low altitude. News...

When I watch TV, you know what I see? I see a bunch of millionaires (Congress and the President) advocating taking money from people making $60,000 a year (that's us, the taxpayers) to give to billionaires (Wall Street) to "save" them from mistakes they've made, so they can "fix" a problem they...

On Sunday, Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin stated that during the stock market crash of '29, President Roosevelt went on TV to explain to Amercians what happened and why. Boy, what an idiot. If Palin had paid ANY attention at all in any junior high American History class, she would...

Where's the posts of outrage, guys? All that rightous indignation over the Bush Admin listening to (or not...) phone calls from terrorists to numbers here in the U.S.? Well, the silence from the left side of the spectrum has been deafening when self proclaimed lefty hackers broke into Gov...

Anyone else watch Heraldo's liveshots on Friday night? The ones where he was leaning against a palmetto tree with some field producer lackey crouching down in front of him with a little portable sailing annemometer? Said it was gusting to 135 and doing 125 sustained? Right......... Only if the...

Only a matter of time before some cheapskate out there springs for a U.A.V. to do away with an expensive chopper. I'm putting my money on Sin-clair.

Let's say we have a 10 year old kid who sets up a lemonaide stand. The lemons, sugar, water, ice and cups cost him $5. The kid wants to make back his $5, plus another $5 for his trouble. He thinks he's going to sell around 20 cups of lemonaide. So, he decides he'll sell each cup of...

I read Foxwood's analogy about "Trekies" and that got me pondering... And I concede the point. It's a lifestyle, I suppose. A choice that is willfully made. And anyone, by that definition, could choose to be a Redneck. It's a state of mind rather than a state of being....That makes sense. So...

On seeing the first one, my foot was off the gas pedal and moving to the brake. I knew what was coming... When the second one appeared, the nose of 9,000 lbs of ENG van was already diving hard against the front suspension as the brakes began to put the whoa into 4 an' a half tons of E350. Deer...

Just like that? No big deal, right? Hey, it's our satelite, we don't want it to hurt anyone, right? We'll just use one of our special Navy ships with an even more special "special" missle to destroy it in space. Easy, right? Um, okay....Strap on your tinfoil hats, guys. Let's look at this...

45 minutes on top of an ice covered aluminum roof deck with a 1K light melting ice so a 58 foot mast can come down 3/4" of an inch at a time....

Damn, I'm watchin' her on "The Frog, Live", er, uhhh, I mean Larry King, Live and she looks good!!!!
