The gov of MN was considering this briefly. It's all politics. Why? The US grows so much corn that the huge agro-industrial conglomerates don't know what to do with it all. -Feed it to cattle, chickens, and turkeys even though it makes them sick so they need a steady diet of hormones and...

If you think college football is messed up, wait until next year when the NFL stops revenue sharing and the salary cap goes bye bye. Also, if no collective bargaining agreement is reached, no NFL in 2011. How messed up would Sunday's be without football? Football is our modern gladiator sport!

Bitog just became a little more redneck friendly. Hate to flame, but nothing like having a big ol' bucket of highly flammable toxic waste sitting in the garage. And yes, wear gloves! Having all the junk seep into your skin in the name of machismo is a fools game.

Same engine/trans combo in the Acura TSX (2.4/auto). Once in awhile you'll see one come in with the whining noise complaint. And what exactly is that noise? It's the carrier bearings inside the differential. (Diff is integrated with the transmission) Most noticeable under light engine load...

This is what you support when you buy Made in China: MUST SEE PICTURES Amazing pictures of pollution in China

The problem is that most people shop by price. It's the Wal-Martization of the US. People want cheap, cheaper, and cheapest. Use it up and throw it out. The problem is that this causes a vicious circle. People want cheap rotors, China provides em'. The companies that make decent rotors get...

Not so much with burping, but beer is actually a very carbon intensive task to make. Lots of fossil fuels get burned growing and transporting raw ingredients, brewery operations, and transportation to your local liquor store. That's why I always say DRINK LOCAL! There's absolutely no reason to...

The classic MTV reality show formula is played out. Put a bunch of alpha personality d-bags in a house and watch the drama ensue. At this point it's about as entertaining to watch as a bug zapper. I haven't watched more than 5 minutes of MTV since the 90's. It was a GREAT channel back in the...

I'm no HVAC tech, but the foil tape connect looks pretty un-professional. Not familiar with this site, but I've heard of it. May be worth a shot to see reviews and ask questions: Angie's List

Jumped the gun and got a good deal on a Sony XBR7 40' 1080p 120hz. This one is last years model, so it was a bit lot cheaper than the newest models. Shipped to my door for $900. Was selling for around $1400 as little as 8 months ago. Anybody else have a Sony HDTV? Impressions or thoughts? I've...

That's a steal! Working my way up to all grain, still doing extract kits. (Limited space for all grain equipment is why I haven't jumped in yet)

Break out the tin aluminum foil hats!! Run for the hills! No, but really in todays world it's almost impossible to avoid radiation. Does it mess with us on a cellular level? (living cells, not cell phones, no pun intended) Of course it does, but how much no one knows. Would I live next to a...

All of that stuff stinks. Way too many guys are guilty of the "Italian Shower", and some of that stuff is worse than cigarette smoke.

Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale is widely distributed and actually a really amazing beer, especially when fresh. This is a great time of year for beer lovers, with all the stouts and barley wines coming out.

I'm not a Grinch either, I love Christmas. I just want to see people give gifts that are meaningful, lasting, and not made by someone who gets paid slave wages.

Oh, I fully realize that. But the "good" electronics are never part of the door buster deals. Just the super generic stuff. That's why waiting in line is even more futile. "I will wait outside in the cold for hours just to acquire the junkiest TV that you can legally sell me" I also realize...
