  1. Who owns Americas national grid? Is it Govt controlled or Privatized? And if Privatized is it one company or many?

    Surely whoever owns the power wins hands down.

    On the reverse side, depends on which side the computer world (ie. hackers) sides on.

    *Remembers Die Hard 4* (It could happen)

    Well, I'm not 100% on the ownership of US power grids, but I do know this much: the US is broken up into 3 massive grids, each completely independent of each other. One for the Eastern half of the United States, one for the Western half, and one for, you guessed it, Texas. So Texas would be set electrically, especially with all the oil refineries in the Houston/Galveston area, as well as the Port of Houston, which is already taking in massive amounts of oil. I haven't even covered Texas' large natural gas and oil reserves. In no way do I support the secession of Texas, but, at least from an energy standpoint, we'd be pretty well off.


  2. I honestly believe Jesse Ventura should run for Prez in 2016 for the Libertarians. Did some good things in Minnesota as governor, and he's already popular for other things, and what America needs is for a third party to gain a little power and recognition. Jesse is a guest fairly often on a radio show I listen to often ( Todd & Tyler out of Omaha, fucking hilarious) and he has a lot of good ideas.


  3. Well, Nebraska beat Michigan State today. At least the third 4th quarter comeback this season. I still fail to see how our newest all-time yardage leader (Martinez beat Eric Crouch's record) can rush for over 100 yards, then throw 3 interceptions, yet somehow overcome a 10 point deficit in the last 7 minutes of the game by throwing for close to 100 yards in said 7 minutes. Baffling. Fucking Baffling. I'm glad they won and all, but Martinez's bipolar play is beginning to piss me off. At least now we have a pretty clear path to the B1G championship game.


  4. now there's eye gouging to worry about?? damn, coaches are getting dirtier and dirtier every year... it's time to wear those protective shields to prevent that kind of shit...

    I had one, but it broke halfway through the season... Assholes throwing their elbows at my face and taking a lot of shots to the head must have done it. I guess that's just how being on defense goes.

    But really, I deal with enough rednecks here in Texas, many of whom actually want to secede from the rest of the US. I'm moving back to Nebraska if that ever happens. I ain't got time to deal with that shit.


  7. -Hooker darkside ceramic coated headers

    -Cherry bomb glass pack exhaust

    Mmmmm... Sounds like pure sex to me. I love old school glass packs. I personally have a custom set of Hearthrob glass packs, and a similar set of headers, except mine are legit 60s models, got them from a swap meet. Actually, most of my El Camino came from a swap meet.


  8. GM, Ford, and Chrylser are all garbage. Do yourself a huge favor and buy an Inline-6 Altima or Impreza WRX.

    Woah woah woah, lets slow Down here. Ford and Chrysler have recently revamped their entire lines, putting them leaps and bounds ahead of the shit gm is still pumping out.

    Ford Yes. They've improved massively and I give them cudos for it. But they still have a ways to go before they catch up with the euros/japs. But of all the American companies they're by far the best.

    Chysler however, no. They may look nice and powerful, but underneath they're the same old unreliable shitbox. Maybe now that Fiat owns them they'll improve but I have yet to be convinced Dodge or Chysler is worth owning.

    GM. Garbage, pure Garbage. But then again, all the parts for GM are made by the crackheads in my town. So i'm not surprised.

    As for Chrysler, their new Dodge line has greatly impressed me, mostly because of the new Durango, lightly revamped Challenger, and Fiat-engineered Dart
