But when you're twenty, it's pouring rain, your car (1979 Rabbit) is sitting in a mud alley, and you're burning your hands trying to pull what's left of a fuel filter off your car with no tools... it wasn't very funny at the time.<br /><br />I can only imagine what the cop thought. I was literally covered in mud from head to toe, blood on my hands, black smoke pouring from my engine where it was boiling off the oil that got everywhere when the oil filter exploded (I still have no idea what happened, but all that was left was the ring).... I must have looked like a mud monster. And I was in no mood for any grief.

I believe Lesbianism is a required course. That's also where my car's engine blew up one Sunday evening before Labor Day. Long story, but I got lucky that someone had broken into a gas station so I bought oil from him while pretending he wasn't actually breaking in. Then I burned the crap out of my hands... fixed my engine while working in the mud while it was pouring... then climbed back into my car covered in mud and cut off a cop as I got back onto the highway while my engine was belching black smoke. The cop very much regretting pulling me off as I was in no mood to deal with him. In hindsight, I'm surprised he didn't shoot me. ;-)<br /><br />Good times.<br /><br />On Madow, the identity politics thing fits. And I don't mind playing it against the left sometimes. In fact, I think the number of prominent black conservatives is slowly eroding the view that blacks need to be liberals. Not fast... but it's happening little by little.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-81908188153786046932011-08-03T15:47:16.084-04:002011-08-03T15:47:16.084-04:00apologies - the article stated first openly gay pe...apologies - the article stated first openly gay person to host a prime time cable news show, not talk show.

According to her Wikipedia article, she is the first "openly gay" talk show host. She grew up a jock in California in a very conservative community and graduated from Stanford.Got her first radio job in Holyoke, Massachusetts, which just happens to be the unofficial lesbian capital of the world. Later she did a stint on the most commercially successful radio program in history, "Air America."<br /><br />The point is, it makes sense because liberalism generally chooses to play identity politics, and it's a perfect set-up. It's also why I love the notion of Condoleeza Rice, even if I realize she is probably not the ideal candidate. The notion of the first black female president is just such delicious irony.Tennessee Jedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604275115906776992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-11706421212202036752011-08-03T14:40:11.160-04:002011-08-03T14:40:11.160-04:00Ed, These were innocuous and didn't even seem ...Ed, These were innocuous and didn't even seem like MSNBC commercials at first, which is why I noticed them.

I'd like to see them become a real news network and send people out to investigate stories.<br /><br />I'd also like to see some of the anchors be less openly opinionated -- I think that needlessly feeds the reputation of Fox being biased. I also wish they would stop attacking guests. I really can't stand the format of bringing on a real guest, asking 2 mindless questions, the anchor talking over the answer and then sending the guest packing. What was the point of even having the guest?<br /><br />What's more, many of the anchors aren't very good at their jobs. They have no idea what to ask. They just know how to spit out talking points. That's not useful and I think it's bad for conservastism to turn discourse into a talking points spitting event.<br /><br />Some of the shows are different -- like Bair's show -- but too many of their news anchors just insult, spin and spit.<br /><br />In the end, Fox to me is nothing more than news-entertainment, and should not be taken internally.<br /><br />I'm glad they are there countering the other guys, but I see them as a massively wasted opportunity.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-64281311952401463852011-08-03T13:05:14.314-04:002011-08-03T13:05:14.314-04:00Andrew,
