Toyota -
out of control
Sent in with glee by Danny Detroit
Excerpt:
A woman smashed into a wall this morning because
of a stuck accelerator on a Toyota Prius, police said.
The 56-year-old driver suffered non-life threatening
injuries, acting Chief Anthony Marraccini said.
The woman was pulling out of the driveway facing
forward when the accelerator stuck, police said.
The car "shot" across the street smashing into
a stone wall, Marraccini said.
Marraccini said the floor mat has been pretty
much ruled out as a cause. The 2005 car appears to
have had corrective action taken, Marraccini
said. The floor mat was tied to the seat base with plastic ties.
The car has been taken to police headquarters
for further analysis.
...where the police will sit on the problem like the federal government has.
How is it possible nobody can tell us why these cars are allegedly speeding
up?
Doesn't it seem like that investigation should take 2-3 days, maximum?
How many more months are we going to read horror stories without any answers?
It would appear their objective is to let Toyota twist in the wind.
Once they've destroyed them, will they say, "Nothing
was wrong - our bad?"

Subject: We have control over everything?
We (you and me and the rest of the little people)
don't control anything, and the Democrats
must not control anything either, because if
you control things, you get what you want.
So the people in office representing the Democratic
party must really, secretly, be republicans,
because that's the only way this makes any sense.
They are getting what they want.
And it's not what you or I or any of the other
peons living in this country want.

All the Democrats have to do is stand up and sac up.
They choose not to.
Maybe it's like Bush being president but Cheney calling all the shots.
The Dems have the power but they're too scared or intimidated to use

Cheney's Best Torture tips
Excerpt:
Interrogators were instructed to start pouring
water right after a detainee exhaled, to ensure he inhaled water,
not air, in his next breath. They could use their
hands to "dam the runoff" and prevent water from spilling out of
a detainee's mouth. They were allowed six separate
40-second "applications" of liquid in each two-hour session
– and could dump water over a detainee's nose
and mouth for a total of 12 minutes a day. Finally, to keep
detainees alive even if they inhaled their own
vomit during a session – a side effect of waterboarding
– the prisoners were kept on a liquid diet. The
agency recommended Ensure Plus.
Endless torture, hour after hour, day after day, week after week, year
after year
and we don't even know if the poor bastards are terrorists or goat
herders with really bad luck.
This is what Bush and Cheney turned America into but they will
go down in history as the men who
kept America safe while Bill Clinton will go down in history as a bad
man because he had a girlfriend.
That's what happens when one party decides not to fight back.

Clintons
'Filegate' settled
So soon? It's only been 14 years...
Excerpt:
A federal judge in Washington has dismissed the
last legal remnants of Filegate, a scandal
(there was no scandal)
that engulfed the Clinton White House nearly
14 years ago.
Judge Royce Lamberth, ruled that there was no
intentional misconduct and that the acquisition of
hundreds of FBI background files on former White
House staffers was simply a mix-up.
After years of litigation, endless depositions,
the fictionalized portrayal of this lawsuit and its litigants on
television, and innumerable histrionics, this
Court is left to conclude that with this lawsuit, 'there's no there there.'
While this Court seriously entertained the
plaintiffs' allegations that their privacy had been violated--and indeed
it was, even if not in the sense contemplated
by the Privacy Act--after ample opportunity, the Clinton-haters have
not produced any evidence of the far-reaching
conspiracy that sought to use intimate details from FBI files for
political assassinations that they alleged.
The only thing that they have demonstrated is that this unfortunate
episode--about which they do have cause to
complain--was exactly what the defendants claimed: a bureaucratic snafu.
First Lady Hillary Clinton once dismissed filegate
as a pseudoscandal. It was no laughing matter
to Clinton aides, who racked up huge legal bills
to defend themselves in the lawsuits.
Bill and Hillary are the most investigated people
in Earth's history and after all
the hundreds of millions of dollars spent, all
they found was a couple of blow jobs.
Yet history will call it, "The
scandal-plaqued Clinton administration"
because
the Democrats refuse to list the facts and the
facts are the Clintons were always innocent.

Quotes
"We're no Toyota apologists, but if you look
past the media circus, the numbers don't reveal a
meaningful problem. Everyone in the
U.S. has approximately a one-in-8000 chance of perishing in
a car accident every year. Given the
millions of cars included in the Toyota recalls and the fewer
than 20 alleged deaths over the past decade,
the alleged fatality rate is about one death per
200,000 recalled Toyotas.
Even if all the alleged deaths really are resultant
from vehicle defects—highly unlikely—and even if
all the worst things people say about Toyotas
are true, and you aren't smart or calm enough to shift to
neutral if the thing surges, you're still
approximately 250 times likelier to die in one of these cars for
reasons having nothing to do with unintended
acceleration. So if you can muster the courage to get
into a car and drive, the additional alleged
risk of driving a Toyota is virtually negligible."

Subject: Toyota in Japan
Bart, I just moved to Japan from Seattle and asked
people here if they were aware of any problems
or traffic deaths resulting from sticking accelerator
pedals in Japan and the answer was no.
So it is either an issue with the construction
of cars in American factories on U.S. soil
or stupid, inept (and most likely overweight)
American morons behind the wheel.
Sincerely,
Heartless Harker in Fukuoka, Japan.
Interesting that Japanese-made cars aren't accelerating.
Maybe the US government should import some Japanese quality control
specialists
because the US government seems unable or unwilling to identify the
accelerator problem.
There's a lot of giggling going on concerning Toyota's troubles.
Since we can't beat them on the playing field, let's slime them out
of business.
Or. maybe we can force Toyota to close their American plants
and import the cars from Japan that are assembled properly?

Pigboy:
I'll leave America if health care passes
Please Pigboy, be telling the truth this one time - please
Excerpt:
Der vulgar Pigboy Limbaugh has thrown down the
gauntlet. If Congress passes health care reform,
Limbaugh will leave the country to detox from
his heroin addiction.
Specifically, Limbaugh told a caller that he envisions
traveling to Costa Rica (not The Dominican
Republic?)
should the government expand health care coverage
to the unwashed poor who are currently uninsured.
Ironically, Costa Rica offers universal heath
care to all of its residents.
Damn, think of the doctor shopping the Pigboy could do in a small, third-world
country.

"We're not going to pass universal health care
with a 50-plus-one strategy. We're not going to have
a serious bold energy policy of the
sort I proposed yesterday unless you build a working majority.
And part of the task of building that
working majority is to get people to believe in our government,
that it can work, that it's based on
common sense, that it's not just sort of scoring political points."

Hillary,

"Here's the thing. During the campaign, it
was imperative to pretend to be much different from Hillary.
Right-wingers and many independents
hated Hillary. They needed an anti-Hillary. In the progressive
blogosphere very few

the "anti-Hillary" who turned out to
be her clone. He was The One, alright. The One Who Would
Say Anything To Get Elected."

GOP Civil War in Florida
Excerpt:
Polling conducted over the last few months shows
that Crist has fallen behind former state House Speaker
Marco Rubio in the Republican primary thanks
to the abandonment of his candidacy by conservatives.
Tho Crist is behind, the Florida primary isn't
until August 24 -- meaning that Crist has five months to re-frame
the race in a way in which he can win it.
Crist has grown increasingly aggressive in attacking
Rubio. The latest example? Crist's seeming suggestion that
Rubio charged not only a $130 haircut but also
a back waxing to a state party credit card during his time as
speaker of the state House. (And, no, we didn't
think we would ever write that last sentence. Ever.)
What's more fun than a nasty GOP civil war?
Which rethugs will stick with Crist, and risk
angering the teabaggers?

How powerful is Ellen?
She told TV Guide that before she'd agree to be an Idol judge,
she wanted "X-millions of dollars"
for a five year contract and veto power over Simon's

Ellen's not in the Top 100 stars in Hollywood, maybe not the Top 200,
so how in the world did she get, arguably, the best job in show business?
Looks like we won't be seeing Howard Stern if Ellen owns the show.

Benny the Rat's brother - just as crazy
Excerpt:
The pope's brother said that he slapped pupils
as punishment after he took over a German boys' choir
in the 1960s. He also said he was aware
of allegations of physical abuse at an elementary school linked
to the choir but did nothing about it.
The Rev. Georg Ratzinger, 86, said he was
completely unaware of allegations of sexual abuse,
part of a string of charges of sex abuse
by church employees across Europe in recent days...
The scandal sweeping church institutions in many European countries kept widening Tuesday.
In Austria, the head of a Benedictine monastery
admitted to sexually abusing a child decades ago
and resigned. Dutch Catholic bishops announced
an independent inquiry into more than 200 allegations
of sexual abuse of children by priests
at church schools and apologized to victims.
Last week, a former singer at the choir
had come forward with allegations of sexual abuse in the early 1960s.
And across Germany, more than 170 students
have claimed they were sexually abused at Catholic high schools.
The world is acting like Democrats (not a compliment) when it
comes to rapist priests.
They shake their heads and say, "That's
just terrible" but they refuse to act to stop it.
These raping priests won't stop until somebody stops them
but everybody's too afraid to mess with the raping Catholics.

Beck Quotes
"I'm begging you, your right to religion and
freedom to exercise religion and read all of the
passages of the Bible as you want to
read them and as your church wants to preach them...
are going to come under the ropes in
the next year. If it lasts that long it will be the next year.
I beg you, look for the words 'social
justice' or 'economic justice' on your church Web site.
If you find it, run as fast as you
can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words.
Now, am I advising people to leave
their church? Yes."
-- Glenn Beck, who gets more popular as he gets
more crazy,
Link
"Did you hear that? Beck is begging you to
run as fast as you can from any religious institution
that embraces social justice. Flee
now from churches that advocate for the welfare of the poor,
the hungry, the sick, people enduring
hardships and looking for answers. In other words,
renounce any parish that practices
the teachings of Jesus."
