My college buddy from albany once invited me to attend a klan rally there. It was sort of fun, almost as fun as the one I went to in illinois. Seriously, folks that never been to one should go. It’s definitely a cultural experience.
Almost as fun as taking pictures during the l.a. riots.

LOF-ing-L !
Allan and Flu get smacked down….AGAIN !
Dance like a butterfly…sting like a bee.
How many times does Scarlet/Rt 66 (my alleged alter ego) have to humiliate you two anti-anything-american stooges before you go away for good ?
Anyway, the fun never stops with the Allan/Flu negativity duo.
Stooping to klan references now. Shame, shame, shame.

A ‘Buy American’ drive is in our best interest now
In the 1950s, agriculture was a key element of our economy. During the 1960s, automobile manufacturing assumed that role – first the Big Four automakers, now it is the Big Three.
Ninety percent of the items in our stores now come from China. The trade deficit in 2008 was $673 billion. The only major manufacturing we have left to fight this deficit is the Big Three automakers. Washington doesn’t seem to understand this and neither does the news media.
There is a mind-set in this country that you should buy anything but an American car. Consumer Reports, printed in Japan, did a good job of brainwashing American consumers to not buy from the Big Three and it has almost destroyed our economy.
Most of the foreign carmakers have built assembly plants in the U.S.A., but the majority of the parts are manufactured outside the U.S.A. and brought in and assembled.
The majority of the profits returns to Japan, Korea, Germany, etc. The majority of the foreign manufacturers charge a 19 percent tariff on imports; we don’t. Please buy American.

Ladies and gentlemen, this isn’t about who is right or wrong any longer.
We can debate who was at fault until we are blue in the face. But what does that accomplish ? Absolutely nothing.
This is about how and what are we, right now, today, going to do to take positive action to help fix what the “powers that be” cannot do alone ?
Ignore the pessimistic attitudes and nay-sayers.
Let’s try doing something affirmative and upbeat.
Please take the time to politely ask Jeff Bridges, a great American, to abandon the debilitating Hyundai ads and return to the home team that helped him become famous.
