the mekons and rolling stone magazine. what could possibly go wrong?
this is another one everbody needs. (i've never had one, but still.)
the last great lugged production racing bike. after that lugged steel
was uber hip or bespoke elegant and no more racy racy lest you crunch it
and have to wait 5 years and drop 5 grand to replace it. the last two
years had that cool ritchey fork crown but clunky lugs. the 91&
92's had a little bit more graceful lugs. this is a 93 i guess. i
wouldn't want to get a mountain bike for racing with the mb-1 geometry
at this point, because the more modern longer top tube and sloping
design just works too well in the woods for everything from cross
country and racing to serious big fun play, but this rb-1 design is
pretty much perfect--or at least way better than good enough--and it's
good enough for anybody even today. too bad those shitty carbon chinese
frames didn't copy this fantastic road geometry...
is it an election year stunt? this conspiracy theory popping up on counterpunch
makes it sound like obama has been planning his re-election for a while
now and is hoping all the usual chumps hop on the bandwagon! no way...
it's to bad that
this
didn't get more coverage, with discussions of what was happening at
longview and why the ilwu was so pissed. real reporting, mass media
coverage and facts would help not only with this particular action, but
with the struggle for higher wages, better jobs and re-redistribution of
wealth back down to the folks. the establishment media isn't gonna
lead, but if they smell an audience, they will follow. i mean these
assholes are not the good guys.
give the guy props, cause richard sachs likes cool bikes. this is his sachs red gaulzetti in a pic ripped from sponsor cole wheels. it's a fun bike and was a hell of a publicity stunt for gaulzetti's new brand.
at first it seemed like a miracle: modern bsg without ronald d. moore's
stupidity. all the shooting and none of the shit, but it looks like
syfy is living up to its illustrious legacy by flushing their new show
before it even
airs. somewhere the
farscape folks are laughing their asses off.
yeah, i get it.
she obviously got her job because of her looks. the third-wheel
sideline reporter thing is awkward anyway. she used to induce
headaches. but now, heidi watney has worked at it, and she is no longer
so freeking annoying on those broadcasts. i give her credit for that;
not everybody gets better at their job.
and the nbc universal comcast borg collective: those insipid spots pushing that
whitney show. holy shit, she looks awful and the show looks worse. is it really this garbage or more reality shows? really?
no shit.
this is something that should get more play, though. much the same way
that higher tax rates on corporations and the wealthiest individuals
keeps money whirling around the economy and makes it better for
everyone, government regulations act as selection pressure on investment
and innovation and employment. keeping the regulations from getting
stale is at worst a short-term annoyance, but long-term, it improves the
breed, pushes progress and opens opportunity for creative innovators.
more, please.
maybe this
paddy can come help out over here, too.
the new chris hayes show has been getting good reviews.
that's good, but i'm curious to see whether he can overcome the stupid
over there on that channel or whether he'll just be assimilated.
chrysler corporation just plain sucks even when it's fiat. could
anything make that new, mexican fiat 500 look worse than that jennifer
lopez commercial. just awful. i'll take
slim chrysler instead any day.
he's on
fox news, and he's a well know asshat, but why is he somehow more
sickening than o'reilly, hannity, bolling, gutfeld, or even huckabee?
i'm not really sure, but he has something more disgusting than the rest
of the fox news jerkoffs.
