What cars need is a little computer that has all the variables in it, and as you drive it shows the cost, just like dashboard widgets show the mph, etc. Even better, have another widget that calculates in the cost of the Iraq war, a couple of battle fleets in the Middle East, etc. For example, each mile now equals $400 for your family.

From below:
The worst traffic I have ever experienced was Atlanta. In fact, my only memory of the place is traffic.
res ipsa loquitur
Atlanta sucks very hard when you're going through the downtown. Going around is suppose to be even worse.
Supreme Commander Thor | 05.11.08 - 10:03 am
Depends on the day, although going north out of there, either from downtown or off the bypass, is pretty intense. Personally, I find Chicago's Skyway to be much, much worse, so much so that I have gotten into arguments with friends, the gist of which is:
Me: Jayzus, the 94 was insane. Bumper to bumper for hours.
Friend: Oh, nobody takes the Skyway, didn't you know that?
Me: Um, no, given that, a, every single freakin' direction -- online maps, hotel web sites, etc. -- says to take it, and, b, if "nobody" took it, it would've been empty, now, wouldn't it?
Friend: [condescending eyeroll at stupid tourist]

NY Post:
"I got every indication that he's planning to run again," said Guy Molinari, Fossella's mentor, who's been in close contact with the embattled, 43-year-old politician.
"He's not just inclined to run. He plans on running," said Molinari, a former congressman and Staten Island borough president who was succeeded by Fossella as the de facto leader of the borough's GOP.
Fossella's goals are at odds with national-party leaders, who have said they won't back him.
He said he was "surprised" and "puzzled" that party colleagues are being mentioned as possible replacements, Molinari said.
"What's this all about?" Fossella asked Molinari of news reports naming potential GOP candidates.

The myth about Suburban areas to raise kids in is that they can be 'free range children'. This won't happen in most ticky-tack developments, nor in McMansion ones. Parents need to not helicopter so much for the children to be brought up to be able to organize their own activities.
My son has recently told me about his group of friends activities:
Breaking open an irrigation dam lock,
tormenting a bee keeper's bee hives,
going fishing,
'borrowing' a boat on a privately owned lake,
pick-up baseball games,
having a mid-night party deep in the forests.
And at my house various sorts of war/D&D games. They even had girls over helping with the execution of their strategies, which I found unusual.
Some good activities and some shockingly delinquent.

By Michelle Malkin • May 9, 2008
03:44 PM You know, when I read about this CNN video via Allahpundit yesterday, I threw up a little in my mouth. The clip of female journalists on a plane moaning as they watch Barack Obama talking on a cell phone was actually filed under “breaking news video” on the CNN website with the caption, “Obama in jeans: Sen. Barack Obama surprises the press corps by wearing jeans.”
Now, the video’s on YouTube. And it really should have a content warning advising viewers to watch it only on a completely empty stomach. Several members of the press corps yell at an agent to “sit down” because she’s obstructing their view. They giggle and sigh “You’re killing us” as he straddles across a row of seats and they furiously click away on their cameras.
Kneepads, ladies?

Fiorina sounds like a perfect fit for the McCain campaign. Typical republican competence:
Fiorina helmed HP for nearly three years after Capellas left. HP laid off thousands of former Compaq, DEC, HP, and Tandem employees, its stock price generally declined and profits did not perk up. Though the merger initially made it the number one PC maker, it soon lost the lead and further market share to Dell. In addition, the merging of stagnant Compaq with HP's lucrative printing and imaging division was criticized as that overshadowed the latter's profitability.

And no one in NYC seems to realize that a subway ride actually costs more than $2.00, since the funding from the MTA comes out of their city, state, and federal taxes. The post could easily be re-written as:
A big issue with how people perceive their costs of RIDING THE SUBWAY is that most of the costs are fixed, and they therefore see the marginal cost of RIDING THE SUBWAY as much lower than the average cost. Nobody really thinks they spend MORE THAN $2.00 every time they GET ON THE NY SUBWAY, because CITY TAXES, STATE TAXES, AND FEDERAL TAXES THAT SUPPORT THE MTA are perceived as fixed costs.

Frankly, there should have been more (any?) time spent talking about Bush's own business record of failure when he ran in 2000. Don't remember that ever being an issue.

I'm fairly determined to do what I can to mitigate the environmental consequences of living where I do now. Growing a lot of my own food without artificial fertilizer and pesticides is a start. We're also going to do solar panels whan we can afford it. It would be cool to have a plug-in hybrid for commuting that is fuelled substantially by the sun. In a sense, we'll be incurring even higher fixed costs so that the environmental consequences are lessened.

They kept making a big deal about how he would be "the first MBA president", without noting a single detail of his utter failure at running companies, unless you count running them into the ground for personal gain.

That bridge is the killer. At one point Indiana wanted to pay off the bond on the bridge and open it up free. Would have cost about $170 million. They were told no. Guess there's money in them there tolls!
Supreme Commander Thor
The City of Chicago sold it (okay, leased it for 99 years) for $1.83 billion in 2005, to a consortium of a Spanish company and an Australian company.
Without apparent irony, the contract for toll collections went to Central Parking System, Inc.

The biggest problem I see with PT is that in most places it's funded well enough to be available, but not well enough to be convenient to use. IOW, I think there's a tipping point somewhere in terms of ridership once the service reaches a certain level, but most places haven't reached it. The SF Bay Area certainly hasn't.

it's spooky how well this fits harry reid.
No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous—
Almost, at times, the Fool.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to try to impeach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.

It was way less dark than Batman Begins, and frankly there was less violence. Although I'm not gonna argue the second point; Anne leaned over to me less than five minutes in, during the flashback montage with Downey and Daniels eyeing each other on magazine covers, and whispered, "The slash writes itself...."
