Travolta's House
I knew Travolta was a very accomplished pilot... but I didn't realize how extreme his passion was.
...and by Extreme I mean AWESOME of course.
He restored a vintage Quantas 707... that he parks in his back yard... Leno is pretty cool and all with his garage of cars... but he can't touch this.

The fiscal conservative is STILL pissed off...
Arizona's budget is over by more than a billion and a half ( 16% of the total budget )
It isn't us or them... its SURPRISE, look what we did. They are 16% over budget, and neither the Republican controlled congress nor the Democrat governer did anything to let us know what was happening.
The economic downturn hit the state too. I respect that.

Drive A Hummer... get a ticket...
Quality Planning released a report on the least and most ticketed vehicles:

Vamptastic...
xray_spex and I started catching up on True Blood, the HBO show. Its pretty damned weird, but also fairly well written. I'm enjoying it, I think lower middle class southern culture and vampires makes for some really interesting potential, and much of that is being exploited quickly and smartly ( Read more... ) -
Complaining about things I have no right to...
I know I have no room to say anything really. I'm a huge proponent of not pissing on about how your free lunch doesn't completely satisfy your hunger. You have a free lunch, shut up and grab a Snickers.
I telecommute 3 days a week, and work 7ish hours a day the two days a week I'm in the office. I get to spend a lot of time working from the ( Read more... ) -

The rich would pay more under Barack Obama's tax plan, and the poor and middle-class would pay less, a nonpartisan analysis finds. Under John McCain's plan, the rich would pay much less than they do now, the poor and middle-class would pay a bit less, and the federal deficit would grow, the study found. - Chicago Sun-Times
