You came up with LawHawkRFD, and that worked out well. so I'll go with yours. <br /><br />I wish I could still be around for the entry in the history books: "Two geniuses, one from each coast, transformed America in 55 mile increments, creating the nation's second-largest industry--ElecSpress. Playing on government programs, the two green wizards managed to turn $3 trillion in government incentives into a $50,000 business, operating with a mere two employees and 50,000 government advisors. One company started from San Francisco, the other from New York City. The lines met in Hooseywatsit, Oklahoma, home of the last operating oil well in the United States. The celebration of the installation of the Golden Outlet was attended by luminaries from all over the world, not the least of whom was the President of the United State, Sasha Obama. Also attending was Malia Obama, CEO of the largest industry, General Electric. The founders stated that without the ability to pay zero taxes, they could never have succeeded. The two Obamas applauded heartily."LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-62599985501840820522011-04-08T18:49:02.588-04:002011-04-08T18:49:02.588-04:00rlaWTX: Don't worry about grades either.

I will admit, though, that even at Cal in those medieval times the professors looked at the quality of your work and I honestly don't believe any professor ever graded me on my political opinions. And I said some pretty outrageous things even back then.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-29586800416933161482011-04-08T18:35:49.179-04:002011-04-08T18:35:49.179-04:00LawHawk - What do you think of ElecSpress for the ...LawHawk - What do you think of <i><b>ElecSpress</b></i> for the name of our venture?<br /><br />Golden Outlet Day.

I'm also picturing the locals lobbing boulders down on them. If you aren't driving an SUV, a four-wheeler, or a very big car with big wheels, you ain't getting home after about an hour of rain or snow.<br /><br />Regular gas is now over $4.00 a gallon here in the hinterlands, but at least your car will get you somewhere. But even under the best of conditions, you can't make it to Bakersfield in a Tesla.

But unlike <i>Top Gear</i>, it receives a large part of its revenue from the manufacturers it's reviewing. They'll damn a real dog, but the Tesla isn't a dog. It has just been a bit overhyped, and the boys poked a finger in its eye.<br /><br />I have no envy of the rich, so if I see some guy driving a Tesla, I'll think: "Good for you. You can afford $100,000 for a car that will only go 50 or 60 miles on a charge." Of course, logically, I would only be saying that in Beverly Hills where the trip from home to Rodeo Drive is about 2 miles.<br /><br />Like you, I resent my tax money (ostensibly taken to help the poor and needy) being spent on cars for rich guys with tax accountants who can get the car for them for free.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-60855608113391480902011-04-08T12:12:13.865-04:002011-04-08T12:12:13.865-04:00LawHawk, I think that last one is Barack Obama'...LawHawk, I think that last one is Barack Obama's personal motto.
