Lotta sense on Palin 10:32pm on 17 Sep 2008 Are you going to address the fact that the Democrats and Republicans missed the deadline to have their presidential candidates in the Texas ballot? Bob Barr is the only one that is legally allowed to be on the ballot now (all others have to be write-ins).
Will the law prevail, or will the two main parties get away with ignoring the law?

A handshake too far? 10:02pm on 29 Jul 2008 #98 TimothyR444 wrote "Putting cats in boxes and blowing them up? Hunting them down and killing them? No - sorry to disappoint you, but that just doesn't happen."
Don't be naive, it definitely happens, but it's not common, and maybe it is as uncommon as anywhere else (at least proportionately to the population size).
A handshake too far? 11:21pm on 28 Jul 2008 And regarding the comment on "would tend to hold a policeman in higher esteem than a politician!". That might be mostly right, but then, I'm not a black person that faces racial profiling by the police or police brutality.
A handshake too far? 11:07pm on 28 Jul 2008 Regarding other inappropriate behaviour abroad, it wasn't that long ago that Bush gave Angela Merkel a shoulder massage that made her very uncomfortable.

After reading the commentary you reference Justin, I recalled the Jon Stewart piece on the media being in love with Obama. Quite funny I thought.

As for the Obama handshake, does anyone know if it was a solid presidential-like handshake, or a tentative non-presidential-like handshake? Who cares if he shook someone's hand!!! it seems to me just more of the empty coverage of the media, like the fist bump, etc, etc.. (of which Stewart also has a funny piece regarding The New Yorker cartoon).
Returning to the fray from Europe 5:41pm on 27 Jul 2008 #27 MagicKirin wrote "There is more than 1 canidate. how about doing the next five blogs about McCain?"
There's more than two candidates, but it seems Justin has no intention of giving a fair coverage to all.
The weapon of choice 8:58pm on 14 Jul 2008 There's an EV in sale now in the U.S. the Tesla Roadster (www.teslamotors.com). So it seems like clean vehicles are on the way once again.
The weapon of choice 3:26pm on 14 Jul 2008 As alternatives go for in town transportation, Montreal is launching a public bike system:

The weapon of choice 3:02pm on 14 Jul 2008 I don't think the Prius is "dangerously small" at all.
It is certainly bigger than the bicycle I use as my main means of transportation in town; a clean, healthy, and cheap transportation option in town.
The weapon of choice 11:26pm on 13 Jul 2008 # 203 MarcusAureliusII: which project are you talking about? neither one of the vehicles on my two postings goes only 15miles on electric.
Also, you can get the electricity from solar, wind, and other renewable and clean sources (not coal).
The weapon of choice 8:25pm on 13 Jul 2008 Here's an article about a guy that converted his hybrid Prius into a plugin: http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/may08/6174
