Does it really have to do with taste?
Just depends on how you define taste.
As in, "Not enough Americans have a taste for GM vehicles."
What got to me thinking about this was I saw a Bob Lutz interview
on TV.
Seemed like a reasonable guy.
So I looked him up on Wiki and found this:
"When Lutz became chairman of GM North American development in 2001
one of the first things he stated was that his new 500 hp car was
going to save General Motors. His full compensation in 2008 is
estimated at $6.9 million."
And this:
"He will retire from GM at the end of 2009. Lutz said that one reason
for his decision was the increasing regulatory climate in Washington
that would force him to design what Federal regulators wanted, rather
than what customers wanted."
That is what I mean by "taste."
Lutz and the others running GM were complete fools.
Gonna save GM with 500 hp car.
Gonna give the customers what they want.
Sorry, close your ears. I have to say this.
LUTZ, YOU TASTELESS ****ING MORON!!
I WOULDN'T HIRE YOU TO CUT BAIT!!

It's been time for decades to wean american males off their overpowered

Like lobster boats?


Krause sure does seem to have more than his share of penis substitutes.
Even if some of them are imaginary.


That you have any purpose is imaginary.

I think you are delusional if you don't think there are just as many nut
cases who profess to be on the right of left.

The only photo FloridaJim ever posted publicly that "claimed" ownership
of a boat showed a decrepit I/O hulk from the 1980s or early 1990s that
looked as if it had served as a roadside home for roaches and raccoons.

My guess is that he was mustered out of the Navy at some point, and that
service "servicing" his shipmates was the high point of his miserable
like. Afterwards, he pretended to be a boat repair handyman.

Today's lefties, for the most part, aren't sucking on tea bags, shooting
doctors, blowing up abortion clinics, forming militias of lunatics,
seceding from the union, shooting up churches, denying science, shooting
up classrooms, torturing prisoners in their care, shooting black folks
who are reaching for a wallet, or shoving broomsticks up the anuses of
their captives.

Those are "righty" fun times.

The man who killed JFK, Lee Oswald, was far enough left to move to the
USSR. He came back and killed the Prez. Within a day a right wing
nut, Jack Ruby, killed him. Scum come in all flavors. The nuts have
been working on the why of it ever since.

Richard, most of the violence we've seen in this country for the last
100 years comes from the right.

Oswald and Ruby were driven by far more than politics.
