Obama is telling us what kind of car to drive?

[SargeUNN]

Just heard a caller use that line on Ed Shultz's show. Ed called it a lie and told him it was psycho talk. First I heard that one but anyone know where this guy got such an idea?

5. or better still guitars

Colombian musician Cesar Lopez had a moment of inspiration in 2002 when he noticed a soldier in Bogota holding his rifle the same way Lopez holds his guitar. "They are two objects that you carry the same way," he says, "But they mean two completely different things."

He decided to take weapons that had been used by guerrilla and paramilitary groups in Colombia's conflict and turn them into something positive. Lopez collaborates with luthier Alberto Paredes to create an unlikely guitar with a body made out of an inoperative gun. He calls it an "escopetarra", a hybrid between the Spanish words for guitar and shotgun. It's an instrument of peace, Lopez explains, that symbolizes a metamorphosis he hopes Colombia will undergo.

8. Remember WWII?

I listen to Radio Classics on Sirius/XM and a lot of the shows come from the WWII era. It's very interesting to hear the talk about rationing, price ceilings, collection of materials for the war effort, investment in this country by buying bonds, and how it's all our patriotic duty. We're now in 2 wars* that certainly have lasted longer and cost more. I wonder how the right-wing "patriots" would react to our government asking that much of its citizens these days?

As a side note, one of the radio shows is called "I Was a Communist for the FBI". In the show, you hear the Communists talk about their goals of breaking up unions, shutting down the American factories, and bankrupting the country. Who does that sound like these days? Are the Republicans of today yesterday's Communists?


* - not really wars, since war was not declared, but you get the point

12. there was a time sacrificing for the greater good was a Republican value

heck charity was their mantra through the 30s and 40s.

9. Reference to revised CAFE standards

I am guessing that this started from the CAFE standards being imposed on Light Trucks. Won't be able to drive an Excursion with the Triton V-10. (Not that you could buy one today either.)

The man is lower than slug slime.

13. Naw, the dumb ass was confused. It was Dickhead Cheney who told him to go buy a Hummer

He even got a huge tax break of $106,000 after purchasing a $110,000 Hummer H1 in 2003 under a law passed by our Big Oil Friendly Congress.
