    I'm sorry.

    Really, Nick? Really? You are actually going to compare the rural USA to Afghanistan? Based on a few seconds from a youtube video? If I had the production assets available to Top Gear, how long do you think it would take me to provoke and film an equally malicious response from some football...

    I'm sorry.

    I think that you profoundly misunderstand the people of the midwest.

    Why am I conservative??

    There is a certain rhythm to these debates, isn't there? I am compelled to point out that neither you nor Jeff have actually posted any "actual data," unless you want to count Jeff's statement that Are these the actual facts you speak of? I'd like to see some actual tech to back them up...

    Why am I conservative??

    Emily is a sweetie, and you are a fiscal conservative. I am also a fiscal conservative and am disgusted by the manner in which our past, and especially our current administration has spent money like it's going out of style. I don't really care for Mitt Romney but one thing you can say...

    Biggest Little Story Of 2011

    The dissemination of what was once known as the power of the press from the mainstream media to the blogosphere is certainly a good thing, as it gets more eyes and ears on what's really happening in the world. The downside, of course, is that the signal/noise ratio decreases, as any idiot with...

    Guess who gave this speech.

    Haven't been here for a while but the contempt and vitriolic language coming from the lefties is really getting out of hand. Just plain nasty. I guess you guys have been reading your Alinsky, particularly Rule #5. JeffYoung I ask you, have you ever attended a Tea Party event, or are you...

    A gentleman with a grasp of the problem.

    Some of my thoughts on the matter, in no particular order. This country is more politically and idealogically polarized than it has been since the civil war. That's not a good historical precedent. Career politicians (and the media) are fostering this ideological divide to their personal...

    new 3D carbon fiber loom

    So they built that loom in order to allow them to manufacture a carbon fiber steering wheel? No wonder the LFA will be unobtanium.

    I'm Not Sure What Started This, but Old is not necessarily Vulnerable!

    I like this artistic interpretation of the conflagration... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh0TOeo4noI

    What's Your Oldest Workshop Item?

    I think the oldest item in my garage is a nice set of Starrett micrometers that I inherited from my father.

    What was your first car

    My first car was a 1973 Opel GT. After I crashed it into a fence post after failing to negotiate a curve, I repaired it and painted it a psychedelic school-bus yellow color. Then I rebuilt the engine, which was losing a ridiculous amount of oil, went with higher compression, improved...

    Supreme Court Justice Paid Off

    Jim, I've been meaning to say this for a long time: you are a blithering idiot. I'll be happy to go toe-to-toe with you sometime, but not in this thread, despite the tired leftist talking points that you spew. There is no excuse for Clarence Thomas, or any government employee, to have...

    Some of the details now emerging from the Qanta A380 incident.

    You can't simulate everything, like a tool left in an electrical panel, but I agree that a turbine failure and it's structural implications is something that should be simulated eight ways from Sunday. No doubt both Boeing and Airbus build a quality airframe, but the main reason I prefer to...

    Please give thanks

    Happy Thanksgiving everybody. This is my favorite holiday - it's all about family and good food and counting our blessings. The turkey is in the oven, the pies have been baked, and the Patriots game is on in an hour. All is good, and there is much to be thankful for.
