Jalopnik (Free subscription) | 12/01/2009

Yesterday we saw the leaked pictures of the U.S.-Spec 2011 Ford Fiesta . That anyone could have a fiesta in a car so small is a hopeful sentiment but not an extreme stretch. What's the most optimistic vehicle name? We think the Dodge "Dart" was an incredibly charitable name for a vehicle not particularly dart-like or dart-shaped. By the 1970s any semblance of sexiness was ripped out of the...

Why isn't all health care like what I got today?

Brilliant at Breakfast (Free subscription) | 10/12/2009

First of all, I want to thank everyone who posted comments in my post about the baby in Colorado denied health insurance because he doesn't look like a Photoshopped Ralph Lauren model for sharing their stories, especially those with colon cancer. But here's what I want to know: Why aren't Americans entitled to the kind of health care I received today? Now it remains to be seen how much of this colonoscopy...

Directors We Love: Sam Raimi

Cinematical (Free subscription) | 10/11/2009

Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell comes out on home video next week. Universal's essential DVD release contains both the unrated "director's cut" and the theatrical cut, although the unrated cut runs just a few seconds shorter than the theatrical cut. The major change -- I'm told -- is a moment's hesitation before the main character considers... well... it has to do with a cat. In the theatrical...

This is a (very slightly edited) re-post from Home of the Free , a blog that has been even more neglected than this one has of late, but still full of interesting tidbits that have not appeared anywhere else. Enjoy... Robert B. McCurry, Jr., former vice president of sales and marketing for Chrysler died almost two years ago. So what? Never heard of him? Perhaps not directly, but because of a marketing...

5 questions with offensive coordinator Gary Nord

Boilers Insider (Free subscription) | 09/04/2009

Q: Do you feel like you've developed a good chemistry with (quarterback) Joey Elliott? A: I think it's excellent chemistry. I have total confidence and I could turn the game over to Joey and I think he would call it very similar to how I would call it. Obviously, we're not going to do that to him because it adds additional pressure. There are going to be times through the season where we're going to...

Protecting Your Kids From Predators

Gov Gab: Your U.S. Government Blog (Free subscription) | 08/14/2009

When I was growing up people warned kids about strangers. Don't get into a stranger's car. Don't go off with a stranger. Sexual predators aren't always strangers. They can be family members or friends of the family. Sexual predators don't even have to be adults, they can be 14-year-olds in the hallway at school. My years in junior high school were a nightmare. A group of boys would cluster near my...

Nine Great Bare-Necessity-Mobiles [Back To Basics]

Jalopnik (Free subscription) | 08/12/2009

Yesterday, GM announced a return to basics . That's good because sometimes, mobility alone is all we can afford. Few bare-bones cars had something making them more than basic transportation. Some, starting with the Model T , did. Here's our favorites. Model T Ford's plan for the Model T was to offer a simple, usable, high-quality automobile that anyone could afford, and the idea caught on, to put...

What’s that awful scraping sound? Where are all those sparks coming from? The Orioles of August 2009 are the Dodge Dart dragging a muffler along the road, threatening to start an oil fire. Yesterday, as if: scoring 10 runs and still getting killed getting swept at home by Boston and watching a rookie starter eat his ninth loss with an ERA of nearly 7 weren’t enough for Orioles fans, Melvin...

Yessir, I sure do love visiting the junkyard, and all those Junkyard Find posts have resulted in some photographs that look snazzy as computer desktop wallpaper .
