New Rich Talbert Site Launches - RichTalbert.com

I now have a new Web site after having tons of hosting issues with my previous provider. I let my old site expire and a new one was created for keeping people informed with my political and personal life.

Rich Talbert site: http://www.richtalbert.com/

I'd like to offer a huge "THANKS!" to Joe Pisano for helping me set up the site and get it running!

Shortly - now that the primary silly season is over - I will be migrating my blog to that site and letting this site wither away. I hope to keep it updated much more frequently, as my life schedule allows it. I'm fully aware I've let this blog go far too long. Family, politics, and the pursuit of a Ph.D. will do that, ya know...

When it's up and running, I'll post the link here to redirect you.

Thanks for reading!

Grove City Borough Council Cuts Property Taxes 37.5%

Since the school board never will…

GC Council reduced borough property taxes from 4 mills to 2.5 mills at its December meeting. The cut coincides with an equivalent raise in the Local Services Tax (LST). The tax shift is budget neutral; however, most property owners in the borough will see an overall decrease in their taxation.

The raise in the LST is to recoup fees from citizens who work inside the borough and enjoy police and fire protection, yet contribute little or nothing to the services.

The tax shift is yet another action by the Council to a fee-based budget, which allows residents to determine their yearly payment for borough services.

Sue Schepp Resigns from GC School Board

Schepp noted health reasons as the cause for her leaving the board. Residents will remember her eleven years of service with the following highlights:

- Taxing the daylights out of residents every year for Superintendent Post’s pet projects
- Removal of a successful and popular middle school teacher over personal issues
- Mocking residents who dared question the board during its meetings

Good luck, Sue. I sincerely hope your health is well. Sadly, you’ve left many home owners in the area on life support. But it was for the children!

------------------------------

If anyone in the school district area wants to be appointed to the seat, you can submit your letter of application to the school. Just don't mention the following things:

- My name
- Wasteful spending on a football field or middle school we don't need
- Balancing a budget for once
- Helping the taxpayers
- Accountability for administrators

Simply say, "I'll do anything Bob Post wants. I'll vote in lock step with his every desire."

You'll be in! Congratulations!

Grove City Borough Launches Web Site!

The Technology Committee of Grove City Borough Council unveiled its Web site at last night's regular council meeting. The site (http://grovecityonline.com/) was created to provide a way for residents and visitors to easily gather information about the borough. It features news alerts, borough information, borough contacts, political contacts, and various forms.

This is the first time the borough has had a Web site.

The recently formed Technology Committee is made up of Rich Talbert (chair), Dr. Joe Pisano, and Patrick Chapman.

Grove City Borough Council Considers Tax Shift

The Grove City Borough Council is considering a tax shift - raising the Local Services Tax (LST) to the state maximum of $52 and reducing property taxes by 1.5 mills. This shift would be budget neutral, meaning the taxation will be a one-to-one tradeoff.

The shift would remove a burden of taxation from property owners by reducing current borough millage a whopping 37.5%. The budget shortfall would be replaced by increasing the LST on those who work in the borough and earn more than $10,000 per year.

Reasoning: I believe the property tax to be an immoral tax. America is partly founded on the right to pursue private property ownership. Try not paying your taxes and see who really owns your land. If I can find a way to lower property tax, I'll do it. On top of that, consider that the Grove City Area School District will hike your taxes every chance they get. Borough residents can use some relief, especially those on fixed incomes. Besides, why should property owners be major funders of the tax system - a system that punishes them for working hard to simply own property?

Also, concerning the LST, consider that there are hundreds of people who enter the borough to work each day, who fully enjoy the services of the borough without having to pay for them. This tax simply recovers some of those funds to provide infrastructure and police/fire protection.

Ultimately, I'm not a fan of either tax, but given the choice between the two, I can understand the LST a lot more than the property tax.

Grove City Borough Prepares 2009 Budget - 27th in a Row without Tax Hike

Grove City Borough Council will review the 2009 budget at its regular council meeting tonight at 7:00. The budget, as put forward by Borough Manager Vance Oakes and the Finance Committee, is balanced and calls for no increase in taxes. There will be no spending from the reserve fund, either.

This budget marks the 27th year in which Council passed a budget without a tax increase. As drafted, property taxes will remain at 4 mills.

One mill equals $45,000.

Happy Veterans Day!

If you know someone who has served, take a moment out of your day and thank them for putting aside their lives to protect yours.

Forget about 2012...and 2010!

If we want to make fundamental changes to the Republican party and work toward a conservative agenda to sweep the Commonwealth, then we need to take our eyes off 2010 for a moment. Next year is huge.

In three months, the grassroots efforts begin. PA requires petitions to be filled out for all offices, so we must find conservatives who are willing to run for all of the municipal offices. Want to make a difference? Run for borough council or school board. Most people don't just decide to be a senator one day. They start "small" and build up to the regional, state, and federal offices.

Three months. That's all we have to find good, solid, conservative candidates. Are you on the sideline? Or do you want the ball?

There's No Crying in Politics!

Sure, you're down and out, but we've been here before. Do you hang your head? Do you whine like a Hollywood liberal and threaten to move? No! You suck it up because America is worth the fight! We have only three months until petition time for local races...what are you going to do about it? We need to get rid of the RINOs that have destroyed the Republican party and the country. We need YOU to suck it up and get your butt on the ballot.

Remember, the ineptitude of Carter gave us the blessing of Reagan. The ineptitude of the Clintons gave us the Revolution in 1994.

Stick with it, folks. Don't allow yourself to whine today. You're an American! We have some tough fights ahead, so we need you on board. Now get to work!

The Death of the Moderate

If there is one thing that we learned in the 2008 election, it is that being a moderate is a losing position. For months, conservatives cringed every time we heard John McCain brag about working with others across the isle. We fell out of our chairs when we heard him proclaim that Democrats would serve in his administration. We gave up on McCain – until he picked Sarah Palin.

Palin gives conservatives hope. She tells us what we want to hear and she isn’t afraid to say it. She isn’t ashamed to say it. She loves America and she idolizes Reagan. Her feet are firmly planted with conservative roots.

It was picking Palin that energized the base. It was picking Palin that motivated us to pick up McCain and drag him kicking and screaming across the finish line. He did everything he could to lose the race. He avoided all of the issues that called out Obama’s credibility. He praised Democrats instead of criticizing them. He was afraid of offending them. Instead, he chose to actively offend his base. And now he’s going back to the senate.

Like Rush has always said, you’ll never find a book Great Moderates in American History. They have no core. They have no value system other than self-preservation. They have no compass. They only have a guiding inner voice that tells them that everyone simply wants to get along.

We don’t! We want to win and we want our ideas to win! We cling to the Bible, the Constitution, and our guns. We believe that the Founding Fathers were right. We believe the USA is the greatest country ever blessed by God, and we want someone who will stand up for her and her ideals. We want another Reagan.

Yet moderates flee from Reagan. They see his two landslides as flukes. After each consecutive loss, they think the answer is to run even further to the left. To rephrase Reagan, “I didn’t leave the Republican party; the Republican party left me.”

Moderates have made their bed and now they must lay in it. Unfortunately for them, it’s a death bed. Moderates, go away. We knew thee and we rejected thee.

Massive Turnout in Grove City

Went to vote with my family at 2:15. Our ward (ward five) has 1091 registered voters, so a heavy voting day is in the low 300s. I was number 452! I've never seen numbers this high, period.

The good news: My ward is the most conservative in Grove City, which is a conservative stronghold in Pennsylvania. Let's hope that others in the "T" are showing up in droves to combat the massive fraud in Philly.

FOX: LEVENTHAL (Alleged Black Panthers Voter Intimidation)

JANE SKINNER: breaking election news, we have reports of possible voter intimidation in some way -- pennsylvania. republicans saying that two black panthers have been blocking the doorway of one polling locations. rick, what are the details on this? what are you hearing?

RICK LEVENTHAL: i do not even know where to begin, but we have reached a polling place in the city of philadelphia. one of the two black panthers who was allegedly blocking the door is standing right over here, with an accused us of intimidating voters because we were here with a camera and microphone. he did not answer questions, other people here have confirmed that another person in black panther attire was holding a night stick and apparently the concern was that they were intimidating people who were trying to go inside to vote. a republican poll observer actually called the police, the police were here and we miss them, they came and left. that person called the police is here. why don't you tell us -- step down off the curb, if you do not mind. what is going on here?

CITIZEN: we got a phone call that there was intimidation going on. i walked up to the door, two gentlemen in black panther guard, one brandishing a nightstick, standing in front of the door. they closed ranks as i walked up. i am a veteran, that does not scare me. i went inside and found full- watchers, they said they had been here for an hour -- i went inside and found poll-watchers, they said that they had said not to let people outside because black people are going to win no matter what. at that point, i spoke to him, we would not get into a fistfight, i said, and i called the police.

LEVENTHAL: the person with the nightstick was escorted away, which i just confirmed inside. but the implication is that you were telling me that the black panthers were there to intimidate white voters from coming to this location?

CITIZEN: anyone who is not going their way, i do not know. someone in front of a polling place with a nightstick, that is intimidating for all voters.

LEVENTHAL: this is the first time i have heard of black panthers being stationed outside of a polling place. the one gentleman who is still here, he is a poll-watcher?

CITIZEN: yes, and he can wear what he wants.

LEVENTHAL: the other person was not allowed to be there with a nice that?

CITIZEN: you cannot stand with a nightstick anywhere, that is a weapon. obviously, you cannot stand around with a weapon menacingly in your hand under any circumstances.

LEVENTHAL: that is situation, as far as we know it. we have heard of other incidents in the city, including voting machines breaking down. we heard of an incident not far from here where far -- all three machines broke down. people did wait, most of them. lines have dissipated. i have not made it inside yet, we had a skirmish in front of the door. apparently there is voting going on as well. at this point, apparently anyone who wants to vote here can vote here.

SKINNER: i know that they do not have enough people to man ever falling site, but as far as you understand the police have come and gone. is anyone monitoring in case someone is still hanging around?

LEVENTHAL: well there are poll watchers still standing here, we’ve been to at least a half a dozen polls around here and I haven’t seen any police officers, they don’t want a police presence to intimidate some voters, they did escort one gentleman out of here

SKINNER: It’s true in some places they don’t want police on sight, plenty going on there for you

2008 Election Predictions

Here's the That's Rich prediction list for today's election:

- Massive turnout, including 100% (or more) turnout in Democrat precincts, especially in Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Chicago
- Reports of voter fraud rampant across the country
- Democrats suing counties and towns to keep polls open so they can squeeze in the latest busload from another town
- News organizations doing all they can to "call the race" for Obama before results are in, so they can suppress voter turnout in other states

Don't let them get away with it, folks. Stay confident, stick with the plan. Vote for America.

The Philosophy of “Gimme”

Talker Jim Quinn described a run-in with an early-twentysomething guy, who was lamenting that his family was hurting as they tried to live on $20,000 per year. This guy was voting for Obama so that he would be given more stuff.

Quinn explained how liberty is a function – something that is used to go and do anything you want to do. Liberty is the solution for the human condition. Liberty is not going into the grocery store and having six different laundry detergents from which to choose. Liberty is having the ability to work as little or as much as you want to achieve as little or as much as you want.

Given the state of education in this country over the last couple generations, it was obvious to Quinn that this young guy was beaten down by socialism and that the American experience was a failed one. He likened it to trying to explain to a fish what “wet” means.

Here’s what every American under 40 needs to relearn: Don’t spread my wealth, spread my work ethic!

Obama or America?

Ezra Taft Benson, Secretary of Agriculture in the Eisenhower Administration said these extremely chilling words two generations ago:

“I have talked face to face with the godless communist leaders. It may surprise you to learn that I was host to Mr. Khrushchev for a half day when he visited the United States, not that I’m proud of it. I opposed his coming then, and I still feel it was a mistake to welcome this atheistic murderer as a state visitor. But, according to President Eisenhower, Khrushchev had expressed a desire to learn something of American Agriculture — and after seeing Russian agriculture I can understand why. As we talked face to face, he indicated that my grandchildren would live under communism. After assuring him that I expected to do all in my power to assure that his and all other grandchildren will live under freedom he arrogantly declared in substance:

'You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you’ll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won’t have to fight you. We’ll so weaken your economy until you’ll fall like overripe fruit into our hands.’

You may like Obama’s words. You may hate Bush. But how much hatred must you have for America and her ideals to vote for Obama – a man who has espoused Marxist philosophy?

Gut check time…where do you stand? For America or against her?

Obamabot's Most Memorable Moment

Wow. Just...wow.

How do you ever describe someone as dillusional as this woman? Clearly you can never reason with such a pro-messiah person.



Problem 1: She thinks seeing Obama is "the most memorable moment" of her life. She says this with her kid at her side! Thanks to my wife and kids, I can think of about one thousand things more memorable than meeting any of the politicians I've come across in my life. Egads.

Problem 2: She thinks she's not going to have to pay for gas in her car or pay her mortgage again? Just because Obama wins? Oh. My. Goodness. Who in the world put this in her head? Or did she formulate this on her own? And why is there anyone in the whole country who thinks it's the job of the government to provide these things? Was she ever taught about the Constitution in school?

Problem 3: Why does anyone think Obama will take care of them when he doesn't even bother to take care of his own family members?!? He has a brother in Africa who lives in a dirt-floor hut and earns less than $12 per year. He has an illegal alien aunt who lives in a slum in Boston. How hard would it be to take care of these family members - or at least give them a little bit of Obama's millions? But he wants to take other people's money and spread the wealth...


Do you need any more proof that you need to get out and vote for McCain, simply to keep Obama out of the White House?

The Cold Truth about Obama Supporters

Cold truth time. Are you ready for it? If not, click away. If so, read on.

If you support Obama, you fall into one of two categories:

The Ignorant

You love what he says. He makes you feel good. He gives you hope. You also ignore everything about his past. Your feelings for him are so strong that you simply don’t care that he’s a Marxist or that he’s friends with anti-American, anti-Israeli terrorists. You don't care that he had a anti-American, bigot pastor for 20 years. All that matters is that you feel good now.

Maybe you don’t like Bush. Maybe you just hope that things will be better with Obama. You want change, but fail to realize that change can be very bad. Either way, you simply don’t care to know about who Obama is.



The Marxists

Whether you are willing to admit it or not, you hate American capitalism. You want the "evil rich" to be punished. You love the idea of government control of the markets, of healthcare, and of the day-to-day operations of life. You think it isn’t fair that there are rich and poor. Everyone should be the same, regardless of circumstances. Collectivism is very important to you; individual achievement is very disgusting to you. You think that those who are rich are "lucky" and those who are not are "unfortunate." You think those who work hard should support those who do not.

You might even think that the Soviet Union would have worked if Reagan and Thatcher didn’t get in the way. You are attracted to the "enlightened" thinking of European socialists and dream of having their structure here. Government is your god.

There are subtle variations, but they all boil down to these two. Where do you fit?

What Happened to Global Warming, Part 354

Yes, we know man-made global warming is a fluke. Our "high point" was in 1998 and we've actually dropped since then.

Anyway - back to the point of this post. It snowed in Grove City today. It isn't even Halloween yet!

If you hear a politician talking about the need to do something about global warming, scream at the TV, then hide your assets. Obama and McCain are both dunderheads on this one. Thank goodness Palin is sane...

And I saw a voter's guide in the paper the other day and Kathy Dahlkemper (Dem running against Phil English in PA-3) said that global warming was real. Oh, boy. Is this what we have for the next two years? Hey, Kate - do a little research before talking next time.

Dems vs. McCain/Palin, Dems vs. Terrorists

Here's something to ponder as we near the election:

What if the Democrats were as bent on destroying the terrorists as they are toward McCain/Palin?

Do you think our troops would be home from Iraq enjoying the summer with their families? Dang straight they would.

Compare the hatred, the vitriol, the massive amount of time spent trying to destroy a war hero and a conservative woman versus how they go after the terrorists that attack our troops and allies daily.

One more thing to ponder: When will conservative Democrats realize that their party has long left them? When will they listen to speeches from JFK and realize how Republican he sounds?

Economic Turmoil 101 - An Easy-to-Follow Guide for Market Uncertainty

Neal Boortz has written a brilliant article to help everyday shlubs like myself understand the "economic crisis" that's currently being blown out of proportion to help Obama.

Remember: If it's bad news for America, it's good news for liberals!

Here's a good chunk of the article:

OK .. so we all know that a lot of really bad real estate loans were made. The political class would sure love for us to believe that the blame here rests squarely on “greedy” (try to define that word) mortgage brokers and lenders. The truth is that most of the blame rests on political meddling in the credit decisions of these mortgage lenders.

Twenty years ago the buzz-word in the media was “redlining.” Newspapers across the country were filled with hard-hitting investigative reports about evil and racist mortgage lenders refusing to make real estate loans to various minorities and to applicants who lived in lower-income neighborhoods. There I was closing these loans in the afternoons, and in the mornings offering a counter-argument on the radio to these absurd “redlining” claims. Frankly, the claims that evil mortgage lenders were systematically denying loans to blacks and other minorities were a lot sexier on the radio than my claims that when credit histories, job stability, loan-to-value ratios and income levels were considered there was no evident racial discrimination.

Political correctness won the day. Washington made it clear to banks and other lending institutions that if they did not do something .. and fast .. to bring more minorities and low-income Americans into the world of home ownership there would be a heavy price to pay. Congress set up processes (Research the Community Redevelopment Act) whereby community activist groups and organizers could effectively stop a bank’s efforts to grow if that bank didn’t make loans to unqualified borrowers. Enter, stage left, the “subprime” mortgage. These lenders knew that a very high percentage of these loans would turn to garbage – but it was a price that had to be paid if the bank was to expand and grow. We should note that among the community groups browbeating banks into making these bad loans was an outfit called ACORN. There is one certain presidential candidate that did a lot of community organizing for ACORN. I won’t mention his name so as to avoid politicizing this column.

These garbage loans to unqualified borrowers were then bundled up and sold. The expectation was that the loans would be eventually paid off when rising home values led some borrowers to access their equity through re-financing and others to sell and move on up the ladder. Oops.

Right now this crisis is being sold to the American public by the left as evidence the failure of the free market and capitalism. Not so. What we’re seeing is the inevitable result of political interference in free market economics.

The lesson? Capitalism good, government bad. Government interference in capitalism really, really bad.

Tri-County Clears DEP Hurdle for Grove City Trash Mountain

Hat Tip to The Herald (Sharon, PA):

Tri-County offered up a new plan to keep birds that could pose a danger to airplanes at the nearby Grove City Airport away from the trash being buried, DEP said in a news release.

That plan, which includes a professional bird watcher and fireworks, satisfied the agency’s objections to the company’s latest attempt to re-open the landfill in Liberty and Pine townships outside Grove City, DEP said.

The state’s decision doesn’t mean the landfill can re-open. It closes out the first phase of approval, the permit review, and allows Tri-County to seek a technical review of the landfill plan by DEP, the agency said.

I think everyone understands that garbage has to be placed somewhere. What I think is so confusing is why anyone would want to make a trash mountain so close to a town. Why would anyone want to place a trash mountain in an area that has become a tourist destination? Why would anyone want to place a trash mountain in the flight path of a growing airport?

We’ve worked very hard the last three years to build up Grove City Regional Airport. It may be small, but it receives thousands of flights per year. We receive propeller and jet aircraft and we are only expanding. We now have STATMedivac based there – and it has already become its busiest hub.

I’m skeptical of their plans to keep birds away from the mountain. The DEP may be satisfied, but I imagine the FAA may want to take a closer look.

A trash mountain simply isn’t good for our area. It’s terrible for tourism and it’s terrible for the health of the citizens as well as the safety of those who use our airport.

Terrorist Attacks, Seven Years Later

Has it really been seven years? I still remember the day - when I was sitting in an office building in the flight path of the Pittsburgh Airport. I remember scanning news sites around the globe because the Web sites of American media were being slammed by others looking for any bit of news. I remember the eerieness of an empty sky. Working next to the airport, there were always planes in the air, but at that time the sky was totally vacant. I remember coworkers crying or sitting in stunned disbelief.








I remember the seething anger. I remember a president, transformed by a single event. I remember a country that was unified for about a day or two - before liberals turned it into an opportunity to bash the president, the troops, and the country.












We call it "September 11" or "9-11" when we talk about it, but make no mistake, it's more than just a date. We were attacked by terrorists. Islamic terrorists. For political correctness, we don't even mention that. If we do, we strive to make sure that people know we are talking only about extreme radicals. Yet I remember the footage from the streets in the middle east. Men, women, and children were dancing, cheering, and handing out candies when they heard of the attack. We aren't talking about a few wackos when we say Islamic terrorists. We're talking about millions of muslims around the world and in our own country.



We are justified when we take a second look at the muslim in the airport, on the bus, or in the delivery van. We've seen the action and the reaction of the muslim population. We've also seen the inaction. We've heard about how most muslims love America, yet we've never seen the "Muslims for Peace" or "Muslims for America" rallies. When was the last time you saw a "Muslims for the Troops" rally?

Yes, there are lots of muslims - most of them American - who do love this country. There are many who serve in our communities and our military. That's a really good thing. But we cannot forget our enemy. And it isn't the granny in a wheelchair that's getting frisked at the airport.

Seven years later and we still haven't learned. We're looking for weapons so we don't upset anyone. Isralies look for terrorists. Huge difference. Perhaps we'll learn someday.

How the Looney Left view Conservatives

I'm not making this up! The resident troll (crybaby and whiner, to boot) on GrassrootsPA has given his manifesto of how he views conservatives. It's so bent and twisted...but hey, would you expect any different from a full-blown communist?

Just for fun, I left all of the spelling and grammatical errors. This clown claims to have multiple degrees!

Without further adieu, here's the list:

Explain to me how this is living in reality:

1) wing nuts want to shelter their children from any social interaction by home schooling them and keeping them out of the public.
2) wing nuts want to teach teenagers only certain issues relating to sex, while ignoring the reality that it will be a part of their lives.
3) wing nuts demonize sex and scar that part of their childrens lives forever.
4) wing nuts feel that Sadam and Iraq had something to do with 911
5) wing nuts say they are pro-life, but give littel thought or concern about 170,000 troops fighting in a country that was not a threat to our country
6) wing nuts now love to nation build and do so with our tax dollars
7) wing nuts now feel that the military is not there to protect our home land, but build brings and schools in a foreign land, even though they do not like us or want us there
8) wing nuts feel it is ok for the government to force an innocent family into certain life and death medical decisions
9) wing nuts support an administration that inherited one trillion dollars in surplus, only to create a 3 trillion dollar deficit in seven years. (that is a 4 trillion dollar turn aroud)
10) wing nut are only pro-life when the fetus is maintained in the womb

Yeah, I know. He's wrong ten times in a row. But that is how the twisted mind of a leftist works! Keep in mind that many of us on GrassrootsPA have tried to correct them, but he keeps spouting the same lies over and over and over and over. Just yesterday, he made a comment about Bush outing Valerie Plame! There's what...about seven people on the planet who still believe that one?

And on several occasions, he has implied that our troops are not really Americans and deserve to be attacked. Then he tries to say he supports the troops... Huh?

Conservatives, meet the mind of the left! Oh...and he's an Obama supporter. Surprised? I didn't think so.

June 6, 2008: Proof of Global Warming

Get ready, folks.

We had a cold winter. We have been experiencing a cool spring. But that will change tomorrow. It's supposed to be in the low 90s tomorrow, which means one thing: breathless reporting of global warming.

Count on it.

Of course, the global warming boneheads have been totally silent through the winter and most of the spring because if they spoke up, people would have laughed them back into their cubicles.

They've been waiting for the first hot day...and tomorrow will be it. Get ready...to laugh at the farce.

EcoGeeks get all the Girls - Really?

According to a story on the Yahoo! Green site, girls would rather go for the "man" in the enviro-friendly car. From the story:

• Nearly 9 in 10 women (88 percent) say they'd rather chat up someone who owns the latest fuel-efficient car versus the latest sports car.
• Eighty percent of American car buyers would find someone with the latest fuel-efficient car more interesting to talk to at a party than someone with the latest sports car.
• More than 4 out of 10 (45 percent) 18- to 43-year-olds say it's a fashion faux pas nowadays to have a car that's not green or environmentally friendly.

Riiiiiiight. Where do these people live? San Francisco? Manhattan?

Let's be honest...brutally honest. Women want men, not snively little boys. You can't tell me that real women can't wait to land a hunk driving a Prius.

Hey, men! Want to turn the heads of the ladies? Buy a Jeep Wrangler. Put big tires on it. Get it muddy. Not that I'm looking (happily married, ladies...sorry), but women stare at the Jeep all of the time. And the namby-pamby women run screaming from it - but you're looking for a real woman anyway!

And it's a gas-sucking pig...especially with the big tires. I might get 15mpg on the highway if I'm puttering down the Interstate - with a tail wind. Hey, someone has to make up for all of that gas the hybrids are saving!

Chicks dig a real man-mobile.

Hey, ladies! This works in reverse, too! Want to land a manly man? Do the same thing. My wife needed to drive my Jeep the other day. I had her Jeep Grand Cherokee to haul my drums (a very manly instrument, by the way). My Jeep had fresh mud on it and she wheeled it over to the Sears store. She said she can't ever recall getting so many looks by men since she was 20.

A Prius? Come on...
