So, can the United States survive, and be massively stupid at the same time?

[Byron In Exile]

...on a grand scale?

 

[Byron In Exile]

Well, I didn't mean to stump the panel with that one.

It's not a complicated question.

 

[Hermit_D_Crab]

Sure, why not?

 

[drruthless]

God, I hope so

Stayed tuned, I think the jury's still out on that one...

...on a grand scale?

As long as American Idol is the glue that binds...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

You have fallen behind the Kardashians.


Keep up!!!

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

No wonder everyone appears to be such a big ass...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

It explains oodles.


Bushels and pecks, even.


In Stalinist Russia, it explained poods.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I wonder what explanations are being created for Putinist Russia...


Blame Bush?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Of course.


One and two, just to be safe.


O-B-A-M-A . . . Bush. I blame them all.


The Tsar . . . he's not just for shooting any more.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

There's plenty of good Czar hunting in DC...


Call Dick Cheney!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

So, all those 16-gauge extension cords with bad ends or insulation can all be put to good use.


Decorate the street light poles.


Satan Claws is coming to town . . . .

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Fun times in Charlotte...


Fast times at the speedway.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

The races come to town next week. I have to drive right past the track to get to work.


Unless I detour through the city, which I might, in honor of racing.


The drags and car show and swap meet are two weeks afterward.


The New Project and I will be there.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Stock up on V-8!

 

[run_silent]

...on a grand scale?

I'm trying to think of the nation that doesn't suffer the same thing on a grand scale. So far I've got nothing.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I have, both in the shop and in the fridge.


With a project, there are always silly things to fix. The driver's window dropped off the track and fell down inside the door, so I get to fish it out.


Function before loud pipes.


Hickey's Pierce Arrow won't be able to keep up.

 

[oggbashan]

The US has survived until now despite repeated stupidity such as the Volstead Act.

I saw that rotary engines are set to make a comeback...


Oh! the power.

17th amendment and Bretton Woods...

I'm not holding my breath, especially when 383's are plentiful and will cheaply pump out 450hp.


Off for the Saturday Stimulus, the one that buys car parts.


I love the smell of half-burned hydrocarbons and rubber in the morning . . . .

[RobDownSouth]

..teh Patriot Act....

 

[fair_warning]

Of course it can.
Stupid is a force to be reckoned with.

 

[RobDownSouth]

...Bush V. Gore....

....the SOPA act....
