This should bankrupt the Nation - at least if it were doable - but it isn't.
Its not doable because it calls for 1400 new nuclear power plants.  Of course
the enviro-wackos will keep that from happening, so it ...

WGN reports tonight that sales of SUVs have dropped by 20-something
percent. One Toyota Highlander on the lot had been rotting away for 4
months, has had its price reduced 5 times, and still generates no
interest. Meanwhile, there is once again a weeks-long wait to get a

health insurer pay for any injuries sustained in an accident. I prefer
to have my health insurer pay since the insurance policy I have right
now does not reguire referrals. I have been told that if a passenger
in my car suffers injuries and they don't have auto insurance and I

How conevnient that the truck burst into flames, destroying any
evidece of actual brake failure. Of course, doesn't "skidding" require
functional brakes in order to lock up the wheels?

Here we have a 78-year-old man who is run over while crossing the
street IN MID-BLOCK, WITH TRAFFIC FLYING PAST, and yet he is

Why would somebody want to steal a 1994 Chevy Caprice --
Blue Book value about $2500? This happened to my
mother-in-law. In the parking lot of a senior-citizen
apartment building, they broke its ignition switch

Some say a full tank means more gas to drag around.  OTOH a nearly empty
tank means more room for gas to evaporate.

The second in the "Born from Jets" series of Saab ads has no jets in it, but
shows a car on a winding desert mountain road. I've found the location, so
I'll give a clue that's utterly useless except to show that I'm not
cheating: the nearest town has letters that add up to 68, ...

First incident: the on-ramp to the southbound 5 from Jeffrey Road
turns into the off-ramp for the eastbound 133: the on-ramp from
Jeffrey continues on to become the rightmost lane of the off-ramp, and
the rightmost through lane splits to form the leftmost lane of the

In the news this morning is a hit-and-run incident where a 9-year-old
boy was struck and killed by a riced-up Honda Civic. The entire

They're doing a bunch of construction through there, there's only one
