You nut! the &quot;Starsky and Hutch&quot; car didn&#039;t have a stripe on the hood. It was on the roof and down the side. But considering this car doesn&#039;t have a hood that just might work.</description>

		<description>Between this brilliant video and Wednesday night&#039;s side-splitting &lt;i&gt;Goode Family&lt;/i&gt; episode about high school football, it&#039;s been a long time since I laughed myself teary-eyed twice in one night. 

I was wondering who was the announcer of the piece because if Iowahawk has such a great voice, he should be doing radio rather than just writing.  I didn&#039;t recognize until nearly the end the dulcet tones of KSFO&#039;s multi-talented morning sidekick Officer Vic (Tom Benner).</description>

		<description>I believe Pelosi&#039;s favorite model is the &quot;Stretch&quot; limo version, that can actually take multiple people, to your local union meeting or party convention.

And they forgot to remind us of the importance of following Obama&#039;s energy plan: the tire pressure gauge.</description>

		<description>OMG that&#039;s hilarious!  Iowahawk&#039;s masterpiece.

It&#039;s a little too off color for TV but I bet Bret Baier is dying to use it as his signoff!</description>

		<description>Can you even get baby seats in that? No fair using the front seats.

 I need 1 baby seat and 2 &quot;boosters&quot; now that Ohio has mandated &quot;booster&quot; seats for all kids up to age 8. If I take my other 2  grandchildren along, I need 2 more baby seats. Do I strap them on top or buy a trailer? 

Is Obama trying to further curtail the birth rate?</description>

OhEssYouCowboys on June 3, 2009 at 3:15 PM
I’m going to get me one of them grinning flaming skull decals for it. Only I’ll blur the flames a little so it looks like I’m moving the same speed as a real car.

		<description>More than a million and a half hits?  That&#039;s a lot of hits, folks.  I think this video may have struck a nerve.  Obviously people are passing it around.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Nah…the ’70’s was the “marijuana decade”. Are we ready for that, again? Somewhere in the basement, is an olive-green refrigerator. I’m ready.

BobMbx on June 3, 2009 at 3:21 PM 
I think I grew up with a yellow one. In a kitchen with orange walls. Next to a room with deep brown carpeting and a red, orange, and yellow couch.

Once Reagan got elected, my parents redecorated the house. The 70’s look was quickly purged.

You were one of the lucky ones.  I had to wait until we were at least a year into Reagan&#039;s second term before Mom and Dad finally axed the bright red shag carpet and cheesy felt walpaper in the family room, and the green shag carpet throughout most of the rest of the house.  The olive, brown and orange colored kitchen, complete with olive-green stove and refrigerator, didn&#039;t get a makeover until after I went off to college.  

Ugly, ugly stuff.  Although I&#039;d gladly install bright red shag carpet in one of my own rooms in exchange for another four years of Reagan......</description>

		<description>I actually passed one of these on the road earlier this week and was shocked at how tiny it looked.  I was reminded of a popular prank in the 60&#039;s and 70&#039;s where a group of guys would find a VW beetle in a parking lot, pick it up and move it to a different part of the lot.  This car?  I could play that parking lot game all on my own...well, maybe with the help of my little red wagon.</description>

		<description>Obama will fire the Bush appointed DMV workers and the department of Motor vehicles will be staffed by ACORN.  You &lt;strike&gt;can&lt;/strike&gt; must buy your car there.  Better service.  The Black Panthers will take over the service departments.  


Word is out Obama destroyed GM to get preffered stock to the  UAW and 500 million dollar a year payments to the UAW for Evah.  Fiat got it&#039;s 20% share for no cash outlay.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;...one has to wonder how long it will be before Congress and/or the White House begin dictating operational decisions, despite their public demurrals&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Er, Congress has issued no demurrals. In fact, they&#039;re falling over themselves to &lt;a href=&quot;http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124390059458874523.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;tap this new wellspring of pork&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I think where GM builds its next plant is going to be more of a political decision than a business decision,&quot; said Rep. Pete Hoekstra, a Republican from western Michigan. &quot;For the foreseeable future, these car companies will be run by the Obama administration, and it will not be arm&#039;s length.&quot;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
As I commented &lt;a href=&quot;http://my.opera.com/Paul_H/blog/2009/06/02/the-government-will-not-run-gm-in-a-porks-eye&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;GM is going to be another huge pork-barrel opportunity for Congress. Which plants will be built or closed -- and particularly where -- and what kinds of cars will be made, is just the beginning. Obama&#039;s going to &quot;shield GM from outside pressure&quot;? That would require him to take a stand and generate controversy, but as we&#039;ve seen on every issue, Obama doesn&#039;t like to do that. He won&#039;t get involved if it means spending political capital on the Hill.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I think you meant Holiday Tree and wait because they’ll be replaced with the new ECO-Holiday tree.

And ECO-Holiday trees better be made of recycled aluminum, because nature is more important than humans, who must have been deposited here by aliens because humans are not part of nature.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Party like it’s 1974.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Which means that people who own these with odd # license plates can only buy gas on M,W,F and Sun, while those with even # plates can only gas up on Tue,Th and Sat.  Ahhh, I loved growing up when Carter was prez.  /sob</description>
