Between the billions of years of molten hell of the new Earth, and the billions of years of frozen hell that follows lies...
Between the Trillions of years of fire and chaos of the new universe and trillions of years of static cold that follow lies...
Between the horrible and the terrible lies...
The Good

I'm John Kerry - Disposable Grunt
"I'm John Kerry and I'm reporting for duty."- John Kerry, Democrat National Convention, 2004
Thanks a lot, John Kerry. I tried so hard to figure if the whole "gaffe" thing wasn't completely created to take the republicans away from their surprises and their talking points. But, that's just not plausible anymore. The democrats are just plain retarded. John Kerry would have to wear a helmet in the back of the shortest bus ever just to keep from maiming himself. He wears Depends (tm).
Why would I even try to figure they were using such clever strategy? Well, what did he say? He said, in essence, if don't get an education your only path to even the most meager opportunity lies in such institutions as the military. Was this an insult to the military? Yes, in a kind of trumped up talking-point kind of way. But, also no. File under "Duh!" but everybody already knows this. Rich people know this. Poor people know this. Fact is fact, ese. So that means, "hey poor people, vote against the republicans and their policies that will send your children into the slaughter."
The disposable grunts are, for the most part, poor kids trying to better themselves. That lure of "money-for-college" sure sounds good during peace time. But, come action and mandatory re-ups, it kind of just sucks ass. College? Ha! The only beer-bonging you'll be doing is at Walter Reed Army hospital rehab using your one good foot because your arms and that other leg were blown off, son. Then what? Uh, your Veteran's benefits are being scaled back...thanks a lot USofA. Like the poorest of the poor will vote. I'll be giving pocket change to these poor heroes on street corners soon.
So, yeah, I was sorta trying to think this through. Maybe John Kerry was being used as some sort of sophisticated attack dog. [OK, that just make me laugh until I coughed]. But, as it falls out and falls apart, it appears to be simple dumbness.
John Kerry went out on his own and fucked everything up. Again. So, in hindsight, it's probably pretty damn good he wasn't elected president of the United States because he is obviously much dumber than George W. Bush. We'd probably all be speaking a form of Chinese-Arabic by now.
Maybe Teresa's a republican and John Kerry is her personal disposable grunt.
Balls of insanity. John Kerry hates America. And if you're still keeping score in this rout, add another point to the republican tally. And remember kids, "Together we can do better." Keep chanting this. Let it be your mantra.

Fly or Not - 11.02 Update
People say, “Ty, you have a super-fast GTI. It’s a fast car, a pocket-rocket. Don’t you regret having all that power with nowhere to use it?”
I say, “Huh?!” Yes, contrary to popular belief having a super-fast super-sturdy super-stealthy pocket-rocket for commute/suburb/city driving is not only a good thing, but also close to ideal.
Here’s why: Merging. See a spot, take it. Passing. Wanna get in front of the huge, ugly Navigator? Do it. Parking? It’ll fit. Wanna open it up on the county roads? Yeah, you can do that too.
Quite. Fast. Agile. Oh, and with DSG, fun and easy. 200 hp, 2.0 liter turbo runner.
Keep hatin’ haters.
-----------------
Witness #1:
A fast car is not just about fast driving. It's about options and control.
Options: I find the super-fastness of my 2005 Subaru Forester XT most useful/enjoyable when accelerating from a cruising speed of 70. It's nice to know that even at a comfortable cruise, I still have juice to get around the mommy in the Navigator while she changes DVDs. Great, the car can brick at 115 mph. I'm not going anywhere that quickly. As you say, merging and passing. The super-fastness is for acceleration more than velocity.
[Note to witness #1: I'm always amazed that cruising at 80 in 6th gear that I can - if I really want to or if just for kicks - kick into 4th and say goodbye to everyone around me, like if I'm just annoyed by minivans, SUVs, or hybrids.]
Control: The real skill, however, is in driving a fast car slowly. It takes talent and practice, because they're not built for sub-15 mph cruising speeds. Once you master winding out a turbo at sub-15 (or sub-5 even - almost defies fuel injector physics), then you understand control.
[Note to witness #1: Indeed, the trick - the video game skill - is to drive "sub" w/o ever touching the brakes. And, at say sub-60 the damn thing just wants to GO. True that it's a skill keeping the car from bolting like a damn spooked horse.]
-----------------
11.02 update:
1) I must make a full disclosure. This whole thing wouldn't work for me if I didn't have at least one co-pilot every day. I "fly" in the carpool lane EVERY day.
2) Also, there's the "Sport" setting on the DSG set-up. Uh, that's not only ideal for, say, rally racing or autocross, but is perfect for traffic. Revs higher, better downshift control, etc. They should market this fact. They should market pocket-rockets for commuters.
