other than in the Ford Motor Company / UAW relationship and the product lines of Toyota and Honda (hint: produce a few midsize sedans; consider stealing a few styling cues from American cars of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s) will be in the used car market, and the parts market. A lot of people like [...]

Wow. I can’t believe he pulled that one out. Congratulations, Mr. President!
I underestimated you. My bad.
And thanks to Iowahawk for showing the President’s antics in their true, best light; a nation of motorheads is grateful!

And then it hit me: Why not the Executive Branch of the United States of America? I hear those people are really smart, and I can’t imagine a better crew to be shutting down my email, and reading it, or deciding if my websites should go dark.
I mean: they are handling the economic situation and [...]

One day isn’t enough to honor the legendary Iowahawk. Nope: it’s still Iowahawk weekend until I go to bed tonight.
Those of you who are doing this right will have spent the past 72 hours partying, getting nice tatts, racing hot rods, cussing in Spanglish, or appreciating vintage Americana.

Here, via Glenn (natch: it’s that Tennessee connection).
This will save you time, so you can also send one to Reid, one to Pelosi, one each to your own Senators, and one to your own congresscritter.
The consensus seems to be that they should mail around April 9th or 10th, so as to arrive at the White [...]

. . . cope with their buyer’s remorse; Jennifer Rubin suggests a support group.
I don’t know which is more dramatic: the fact that Andrew Sullivan is starting to make sense for the first time in five years, or Maureen Dowd’s newfound commitment to fiscal sanity. David Brooks summarizes the problem:
You wouldn’t know it some days, [...]

Curvy vs. “Smart” vs. Smokin’; Blue vs. Green vs. Black
It seems to me that the advantage of the Smart Car [e.g., SmartforTwo] is that is is street-legal, even for roads with speed limits over 35 mph (the Gem Car is limited to such streets, but will only go 25 mph). Here is my SmartForTwo, which [...]

From the WaTi review of Roger L. Simon’s Blacklisting Myself: Memoir of a Hollywood Apostate in the Age of Terror:
The lack of quality material created by conservative filmmakers — atrocities like last fall’s An American Carol come to mind — compounds the more insidious problem facing those on the right in Hollywood, namely a bias [...]

We just crossed two states lines and at least two mountain ranges, after getting an obscenely early start this morning. (Close observers/stalkers will realize that I’ve now been awake since approximately 1:00 a.m., and that I ran out of Prozac a couple of days ago—though I’ve now recovered one rather lint-ey specimen from the bottom [...]

The video version of Iowahawk’s Instant Classic on Congressional Motors’ “Pelosi.”
The complete story of the accidental collaboration is here, at Burge’s groovy pad.
Dave’s original “print magazine ad” for The Pelosi actually featured a pic of the CitiCar, which was designed by Chris Muir’s dad. According to the anti-bloggin’ folk over at Wiki:
