Call It A Comeback
About damn time and congrats to Rahm Emanuel, the new head of the Democractic Campaign Committee.
I’ve been an advocate of the DCCC in general and this is only going to improve its operation. Representative Matsui was a great guy and will be sorely missed, but this is a great replacement.
Chalk him up as another strong national Democrat from Illinois emerging to reshape the Party.
Ask them what emissions level the cars are rated. It’s much fun to see the blank look followed by made up answers. Overall, I have to say most of the salespeople were pretty decent. Having worked around a electronics which is often considered the next step in sleaziness, I wasn’t sure what it would be like, but most were pleasant and no one tried too hard of a sell.
A 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Wagon. Thanks for all the help.
Much of your advice was very helpful. Ultimately, getting this car under invoice as a 2004 that had stopped production was hard to beat. Tomorrow will be slow largely to dealing with taking delivery and all that. Then off to have the aftermarket stereo installed. That I don’t need help with–I sold stereos both home and car for basically 8 years.
Oh please. I can’t wait to see the Leader try and choose sides in a LaHood versus the Blagorgeous race (I doubt LaHood can get through the primary).
Now, how long will it take someone to float Schock’s name to replace LaHood?
Okay, why not use you all for a bit of research.
Any suggestions on mid-size sedans, station wagons, or (choke) mini-vans?
Trying to keep it in the range of the high teens to low twenties and pretty much looking at foreign companies (don’t even mention Ford to me afte the last car and I’ve never been a fan of GM cars–Chrysler is a maybe, but none of their cars really seem to fit our desires).
Cars that being especially considered
Toyota in all three categories
Honday mini-van and sedan–possibly the boxlike thing they have now too
Kia Sedona
Hyundai Sedans
Mitsubishi Station Wagon–Sedans
Nissan sedan and mini-van
Possibly
Subaru
Mazda
Scion
Not a man known for public speaking and thus not a favorite of national sportwriters, he was one of the best I’ve ever seen play the game and he belongs in the Hall. Congrats.
The Ryan case, to attack those attacking dibs?
Enquiring minds want to know…
It’s that they sold out for so little…
Is usually the line to describe political corruption. Those who remember the trials of many ‘a Alderman remember stories of selling their influence/votes for nothing. Larry Bloom, himself a reform Alderman barely got anything for being bribed. It always amazes me how little pols will sell themselves for
Here is where the men are separated from the boys, George Ryan sold his soul for a lot…I guess he gets points for at least making it worth his while.
They say the revolution will not be televised,
But I bet it will be discussed over drinks…

WASHINGTON — President Bush should pardon six Army reservists from Ohio who were court-martialed for taking equipment to carry out their mission in Iraq, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said Tuesday.
In a letter to the president, Durbin said the members of the 656th Transportation Company may have committed a technical violation and an error in judgment but the military should not have treated this mistake as a felony.
“The punishment is completely out of step with the violation,” Durbin said. “Soldiers have been scavenging for equipment on battlefields from the time of the Romans to the present day. … Yes, they made a mistake, but it was not so someone could get rich; these soldiers were trying to protect their unit and accomplish their mission.”
Sen. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) earlier asked the Army to grant clemency to the reservists from the unit, which is headquartered in Springfield, Ohio.
Six reservists, including two veteran officers who had received Bronze Stars, were court-martialed for commandeering two tractors and two trailers left in Kuwait by other U.S. units that had already moved into Iraq and for stripping a third vehicle for parts they needed to repair their trucks.
Durbin said the 656th had played a crucial role in maintaining the gasoline supply between Balad Airfield and Tikrit.
Ummm…they didn’t make a mistake. They improvised, overcame and adapted. Wrong service, but that isn’t something to be prosecuted.
