I like to stop

They say when you get an old car the first thing you should do is make sure it stops. And then worry about it going. That makes sense, stopping prevents you from hitting things or bombing down a hill through an intersection. Unfortunately, I sometimes get antsy for the more aesthetic things. After getting my engine looking and going good this summer I've been driving my Desoto around with... moreless sufficient brakes. They seem to come and go, and mysteriously run out of brake fluid. Obviously there's a problem.

Well, it finally caught up with me. I suddenly lost brakes and had to limp home using my emergency brake. Bleeding the brakes was impossible on the front brakes, as just air bubbles constantly were coming out. I got a quote of $1685 for a brake job on my car. Yeh, my eyes bulged, too. So after getting some advice I decided to just tackle it myself.

I'm beginning the process by rebuilding my master cylinder and replacing my rubber lines. Today I ripped out the master cylinder. Well, it's beginning to make sense why I didn't have brakes. I'm not sure when the last time this car had brake work. Judging by the coagulated ball of sludge over everything I'm going to have to assume it's been a long time.



After I get that taken care of I'm going to tackle the front wheel cylinders, drums, and brake shoes.

John McCain's Temper

It's pretty obvious to anyone John McCain has a bad temper. You've probably read many stories. If you've watched the debates you can see him struggling to hold it back, all the while being condenscending. Well here's a nice little video with even more evidence.



Or how bout when he was gambling in Puerto Rico?

Or when he call his wife a cunt?

On Sweeney Ridge

Pretend you're singing an old Irish folk song...

On Sweeney Ridge,
On Sweeney Ridge,
We walked with our doggies


On Sweeney Ridge,
On Sweeney Ridge,
We entered into the foggies


Wandering the hillsides


Past a misty lake


And when we got them home again,
They couldn't stay awake



On Sweeney Ridge,
On Sweeney Ridge,
We climbed a many feety


On Sweeney Ridge,
On Sweeney Ridge,
It's there I kissed my sweety

And now a voting PSA

Republicans love you

Tonight is the Vice Presidential debate and I'm drooling waiting to watch Sarah Palin bomb. And she will. That's a guarantee. But we're taping it because we're going to go see Doug Benson again!

You've possibly seen the video
"ECONOMIC COLAPSE DEMOCRATS TO BLAME NANCY PELOSI OBAMA subprime loans democrats to blame house speaker failed 29th of sept. DAYS OF AWE AND ACCOUNTABLITY stock market closes at 777 points down accorn"
(what's accorn?), or maybe even know some folks who are saying that it's 'proof' that the Democrats are behind it.

Well, think again.
