15 cents per mile?!

That's cheaper than my van. How can this be?

A way to end Senate blockade on SAVE act, and preserve filibuster

Looks like it would pass muster with respect to Constitution and precedent as well.

Senators would have to vote against it, which would not go well for them if they did.

Update:

Oops! Looks like that is a goof. The reason for that is that there are many ways to delay a bill. The Senate could still work around the problem and defeat the bill with delaying tactics.

Wow. And I thought that the best part of this flick was Tom Hanks singing "Light My Fire".

The Real Reason Windows Hate Is Exploding: It's Not Just the UI—It's the End of Personal Computing

Goodness!  This post is nearly 15 years old.   Somebody clicked on it, so I checked out the dude again.   I didn't know why I stopped embedding his stuff, but now I know.   He's not worth following.   Why?   He is posting anti-American propaganda.   Same goes for anybody else who does this.

Know what I mean, Vern?

A pickup truck isn't the same for all brands

Can't vouch for this video because I haven't bought a new vehicle in decades.

But when I was, I noticed a few things.

What's the best advice for buying a new pickup truck?

Well, if I go by my own experience, NONE!

Sometimes that advice just isn't sufficient. If not, find somebody smart, and talk to 'em.

Don't necessarily count on this video.

If you can't trust ice cream, what can you?

How did I come across this video?   Mostly by chance.   I wasn't looking for it, I simply found it.   Maybe there was some suggestion that google makes that made it easier to find, but nevertheless, I didn't look for anything like this specifically.

The fakery is what grabs me.  Too much of that.  It is every-damned-where.
