Monday, December 17th, 2007

I guess Russia’s 1st Nuke shipment to Iran confirms that recent report that Iran has ceased development of their nuclear ambition, yes?

Oil Money

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Republicans are often accused of being the puppets of “big oil”, a mantra pushed hard by the Democrats including the Clintons.

Dodge Challenger going strong before introduction

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

I mentioned I thought the Challenger concept car is hot and have been casually watching for them to hit the street. Now that they’re almost here I see the price tag puts them well out of what I will afford at almost $38k MSRP. But there seems to be a huge draw to this new [...]

Ho, ho, ho!
