Creepy "Support the Minutemen" sticker: $0 (at the gun show). Mindless "Support the Troops" magnetic ribbon: $1.50 (plus trillions for the war you probably supported). Misspelling the central concept in your sad right-wing rant on language: Priceless!

As of yesterday- June 18 2009, Formula 1 as we know it no longer exists. What happened is that eight teams, Brawn GP, Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, Toyota, BMW Sauber, Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso announced their decision to leave and form an independant motorsports body (FOTA)following a four-hour meeting last night ahead of this weekend's British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Honda left months ago due to the unsustainability of maintaining a $500 million budget in these uncertain economic times.

This means there is not one single manufacturer left in the FIA camp, only privateers.

Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosley are of course threatening legal action against the rebels, and have begun construction of a new, more powerful space station to bring the alliance to its knees.

The greatest exhibition of speed and engineering on earth is now kaput.

I want to thank dag for instahobbitting me during my crazy hour.

The Ring has power to change its owner.

Where in the world do people come up with this stuff?

It has been brought to my attention that my video Top Gear: Communist Cars [http://www.videosift.com/video/Top-Gear-Communist-Cars] is dead (thanks EDD). There's a live and complete version of the video at StreetFire [http://videos.streetfire.net/video/190-Top-Gear-Communist_205207.htm] but my star isn't shiny enough to use it. Can any friendly gold star members help me out?

This belongs to a guy who lives about a block away from me. I'm pretty sure my home's resale value has also suffered.

We make celebrate of Comrade KOMMIE's promotion by make vote to People's Queue, make drink of People's Vodka, spit on capitalist pig Digg, and make congratulate his Glorious achievement.

Attendance is mandatory, under penalty of gulag, Glorious Re-education, and death.

Oh and for the record, GM destroyed all their 100% electric mass production vehicles in the desert and then sold their battery technology patents to Chevron. True story. Today's Prius' etc. have to use toxic heavy metal batteries because of GM selling their patents to an oil company.

Finally, a channel for all the rolly stuff. I'm gonna go add... all my videos to this.

I bet you're thinking this is SO April fools, right?
Because what the hell happened to just having normal bdsm sex? Why these nazi perversions? This sounds too "good"/too wtf to be true, doesn't it?
