Top Gear: popular BBC show to 'cut back on the comedy stunts'


Below is the first episode of the new 'sensible' series. Is it sensible? Of course it's not. We have the Bentley Supersports, James driving around the Iceland volcano, and a spot of fun with a Robin reliant.

Looking at another drop ahead..........from Rico

The ECRI is looking bad. Very bad.

FINREG and the tax increases hitting in 2011 may be enough to push things over the edge.

Another drop in the equities markets? Dow 5,000 is not as far-fetched as it might sound today. In fact today might very well be considered the 'good old days' not too far ahead.

A Marxist welfare state does not appeal to me.

Sports Illustrated 2010 Esti Ginzburg Photoshoot

And keep checking for the hot Sports Illustrated blogging at American Power!

Help fight the enemy, in this case, boredom. Its a real problem, particularly if you happen to be wounded.

Whats happened is some of the guys seem to have been missed by the system and are left hanging about with none of their own gear and Boston Maggie is launching an effort to get them some care.

Radical Feminist Hate Mail of the Day

It's not hate mail, actually (but close enough). It's a STFU Tumblog, "STFUSexists." And I guess that includes me, and I'm targeted for extra STFU-ing for my neocon-ishness. See, "Another neo-con with a woman problem → ...":

Now, I’m not expecting much from someone with a No-Bama icon who thinks that Melanie Griffith has written books about why the right wing is awesome, but if you’re claiming to be a political blog, be a f*cking political blog. Even if you’re a stupid political blog, even if your political blog has no basis in reality, be a f*cking political blog. Objectifying women doesn’t count as “culture analysis”. So cut it the f*ck out, and stick to what I’m sure is your wealth of knowledge on foreign policy and the educational system or whatever.

That's just the conclusion.

Read the rest, and my response, over at my place.

(And here's one more reason why Theo Spark's is one of the best hangouts on the web.)

As always, more neocon-ish hotness at American Power.

World Cup jokes

What's the difference between the England Team and a tea bag ?
The tea bag stays in the cup longer

I'm shocked at Rooney's outburst after the Algeria game.
Who knew he could even string a sentence together

Capello noticed an old lady struggling with her shopping bags,
so stopped to ask her, "Can you manage dear" ?
The old lady replied, "No way, you got yourself into this mess
so don't ask me to sort it out".

What do you call an English man in the knockout stages of the World Cup ?
A referee

What's the difference between Rooney and Shrek ?
Shrek can save the day

OXO have brought out a new cube - it's wrapped in white with a red cross on it, it's called the laughing stock

What's the difference between a faulty jet engine and Rooney ?
The jet engine eventually stops whining

Thanks guys, THAT will fix things for us!!!!!............from Rico

Banks are NOT lending.

They and Wall Street (at least the too-small-to-succeed entities outside the very small and exclusive 'magic circle' of too-big-to-fail) are scared silly of legislative 'reform' with good reason.
- We should be weeping when these fella's are smiling.

Look at these two 40-pound brains. They blew up housing, Fannie & Freddie, and NOW for their next magic act are going to fix, and I mean REALLY FIX things through more legislative "reform." What assholes.

Oh goody. Yay.

I used to think that whenever politicians talked, no matter what they pretended to be saying or talking about, they were talking about money. Our money.
- I have added to this thought. Now, whenever the clowns-on-the-potomac talk, no matterwhat they pretend to be saying or talking about, they are talking about more power & control by government and less freedom and liberty for the rest of us.

yay. huzzah.
- small caps and lack of exclamation marks intentional.

While the Weigel ‘JournoList’ Scandal Dominated the Blogosphere…

...I mostly took to Twitter! (Background is here.)

And it's funny how when you think you have a pretty high-impact post and it gets little love after all. Or maybe it wasn't that hot to begin with. Folks can check it out, "World Cup Gives Leftists (Another) Chance to Root Against America." (I'll be rooting for USA tomorrow, of course.)

Here's the pic for a teaser. Looks like a gang-banging Mexico-loving L.A. soccer fan, yo. Anybody surprised?

Worth a Thousand Words

The stark difference between the free and the unfree is illuminated in that

governments of boundless power. That energy is unleashed only by free political
institutions and free economic systems. Donald Rumsfeld
