Go Paul!

Newman Prepares for Daytona at 80 yrs old

Stop the insanity

9 and 10 yr old Students Arrested Over "Violent" Stick Figure drawings

Does this mean that if I draw a political cartoon of a world leader being killed that I am an assassin? What about if I make a painting of a hunter shooting a endangered species or hunting on private property?
Of course there are psychological reasons behind what people say or do but does this mean that we should assume nobody (even a child) can separate fantasy from reality? I think it would have been more appropriate to have involved a psychologist that the Police. Which would be a better experience for a 9/10 yr. old child, taken out of school in cuffs or talking to somebody who could evaluate the seriousness of the problem?
I know a 3 yr. old boy who likes to play swords and "power rangers", should he be condemned as a criminal now or perhaps encouraged to take fencing and martial arts?

Just what we need.

Denver COP threatens arrest for anti-BUSH bumper sticker
Well isn't that fucking wonderful?!? The interesting thing is that the state will not allow custom tags which they view as profane. I know somebody who tried to get the tag "MAUI HI" because he owns property in Hawaii, CO would not allow it because it was "drug related". They would however allow "HI MAUI".

New Car

This is my 91 Audi Coupe Quattro 20V. It is a blast to drive in all conditions, much better than my old SAAB 900 8V ;)
