    It costs HOW MUCH?!??

    I stopped in to the CompUSA in El Paso yesterday to get a new battery for my Presario 2500. $180. The guy said that is one of the cheaper ones, that they go for as much as $300. Anybody know where that can be found at a more reasonable price?

    What's up, Knight?

    Coach Bob Knight. Now, there's a guy that should provoke some conversation. Once again, he's in the news for a violent outburst. Imagine that! His fans say that his gonzo style of tough coaching is what gets the job done. C'mon. There are lots of successful coaches that do well without chokeing...

    Ricky Carmichael signs NASCAR deal.

    The "Angry Elf" has signed a 3 year deal to go fast and turn left. He will be with Ginn Racing along with Mark Martin, Sterling Marlin, and Joe Nemechek. Can he achieve the dominance he has in motocross? I doubt it. In motocross, the rider is the bigger part of the bike/rider equation. In...

    Air America goes bankrupt.

    For years, the left complained that the right had an unfair advantage with the success of Conservative talk radio. It took them a while, but they finally figured out that commercial radio was an option for them too. Air America is born. With Al Franken as their most recognizable personality...

    U.S. vs. The World

    Once again, the Europeans kicked some serious U.S. butt to keep the Ryder Cup on the other side of the pond. However, the news from across the water was'nt all bad last weekend. At the Matterly Basin track in Great Britain, the U.S. brought home the hardware at the Motocross of Nations. This...

    The foundations have been shaken!

    Is everything we have been taught just so much bovine solid waste? Can we ever again have confidence that what we have always believed is true? And, what effect will this have on, arguably,the most popular cartoon dog? So many questions... It has been announced that Pluto is not a planet. It...

    Carmichael continues to amaze.

    As I'm sure many of you know(Highway Star clears throat and rolls eyes), last Sunday in Milville, Mn. Ricky Carmichael lapped the ENTIRE FIELD in the second moto of the AMA Pro National Motocross. It's important to point out that the second moto was a quagmire of mud and mud changes everything...

    Aux generators

    I'm aware that Aux has gone out of business. I'd like to hear from those of you that have them. Are you getting parts? Has anyone lost the use of their generator due to not being able to get a part?

    Yeah, I want some Cheezy Poofs!!

    I could'nt help but chuckle when I heard that the South Park episode that totally goofed on Scientology was nominated for an Emmy. Tom Cruise used his Star Power to get Comedy Central barred from ever re-airing it. They are apparently owned by the same corporation that did MI3 and he threatened...

    Only in California...

    Did anyone else hear about the whacked-out, granola crunching, teacher that actually wants to take her class on a field trip to see Algore's movie? When I was in high school there was a hippie English teacher that set up a field trip to see Yellow Submarine(Mrs. Goosey was WAY cool). We went...

    Ford to close Norfolk

    Ford announced today that St. Paul, Mn. and Norfolk will be closed. I had heard rumors of St. Paul, but Norfolk surprised me. I would have thought an F-150 plant would survive.

    Ratings

    I have a couple of questions on how ratings work. First, should'nt people not be able to give themselves points? Second, is it fair that someone would recieve negative points because of a simple difference of opinion. Apparently Teacel got negative points because he did'nt agree with someone on...

    Canada New border crossing

    An international group is suggesting another one between Detroit(Kwame again? You've got to be kidding me!) and Windsor. I kind of like the idea of one downriver around Monroe. Take some of the pressure off the cities. The problem would be what it would take to hook it to the 401, but I would...
