    You're right. We'd have Clinton instead. Wait. What? Mess? We're in a mess?

    Load One rolling strong in Sept!

    Well, they give you an instruction sheet from BESTPASS that goes to great lengths to impress upon you that there is NO REASON to remove them from the case. Clearly, they made that determination without asking me, as I can think of three reasons to do so, but I digress. From the first page of...

    Got my BESTPASS installed. Thanks, John! It's two separate transponders enclosed in one convenient plastic case (note the heavy sarcasm). No, really, the ungainliness and umsightliness of the plastic case is a feature. It's not a flaw. It's a feature. Got it? Feature! You could remove the...

No place to sleep while loaded. A permanent sleeping...

    .65 to .75 cents per mile

    The Southernmost Point Cam in Key West. Every now and then you might see someone drive by, or even walk up to the marker and take a picture. Yeah, those people are gonna die.

    The Trump Card...

    Oh, OK. You threw me when you simply said "whatever is left of his base" and that he'd have to persuade them. But now I'm merely confused, since he can do no wrong in the eyes of those same people. :D

    The Trump Card...
