Topics for discussion:

The Barack Obama World Tour: Today he’s in Iraq. Got any buddies over there? Give ‘em a holler and let them know we gotta make sure Gen. Petraeus arranges to get Barry O some ‘wheelin’ time in a Humvee.

Salma Hayek Breaks Her Engagement: Does this mean I’m not doomed to be a bachelor after all? (Sorry, guys, I couldn't find a free photo of Salma that I could post, so you get Barry's mug instead.)

The Energy Crisis: After trying to guess how many kilowatt-hours were wasted illuminating Yankee Stadium for that worthless All-Star game last week, I’ve got a great suggestion for conserving energy: Day baseball.

Sports News: The Beijing Olympics start in two weeks. Will you be watching? Do you even care?

Our Website: Do we rock? Do we suck? Do you like the banner ads for Truck Nutz on our home page?

Or another topic altogether: Fire away.

Reader Comments:

1. To answer your website questions:
1.Yes
2.No
3.Not really.
I can't even fathom why anyone would want them.
And, I hate following them on the road.
Just my two cents.

2. Why'd you go with the image of Obama instead of Salma? Cancel my subscription to your blogs. Just wait until you hear from Cappa.

3. Hmm... VonSeggern raises a good point...

4. Salma seems to have hit a chord with the gents.
No surprise. She has that power.
But, are you saying it's Salma or nothing?
That's like saying, "I won't drive unless it's a Bugatti Veyron."

5. You haven't seen Doug's Veyron then have you... he just doesn't settle for second best!

6. No,... sadly,... I haven't, and he shouldn't have to settle.
A Veyron is a work of art. It will turn heads no matter where.
But, if one is navigating through desert sands, perhaps another type of transport should be considered.

7. Get that Obama hypocrite out of here! If that guy gets his way no one would be able to 4x4 anymore. He and his liberal comrades will close public lands and roads, tax to death and any vehicle not considered "green" enough.
