Auto Rustproofing, etc.
What was the 'interior' stuff ? If it was stain protection, you can buy a can of that stuff and spray it on yourself... The only thing you need to understand about extra warranties is that they are highly profitable to the company selling them (and they pay fat commissions to the... -

Cash For Clunkers
Lets see if I understand this... the federal government is borrowing money it doesn't have so it can vastly overpay for used vehicles if you buy a vehicle government bureaucrats think you should have ? It is a wonder this whole process even works. You have 2 of the top 3 despised professions... -

Will you listen to Martha (Marty) Tirrell Tomorrow?
There are a lot of reasons why most of us will not listen to any (or just a tiny bit) of MT's new show. I have a take that hasn't been mentioned before... I don't like him because he personifies what is wrong with a certain segment of our society. I'm sorry if this diverges into 'cave' like... -

Who has stood on Jack's 50?
In the late 90s I had the opportunity to attend a couple of football games with media credentials so I have been on the field, pressbox, and interview area. I appear briefly in the background of a Craig Campbell/Darren Davis Touchdown celebration in the South end zone. I'm also on film... -

Polk County Rejects Chops' Proposal To Sell
As a polk county taxpayer, I want that arena contract honored. Personally, I think they were idiots to sign the contract with the arena in the first place. Why didn't they get a Michael Gartner Iowa Cubbies sweetheart deal ? They might have had a chance to make a few dollars. However... -
