Recalled, revoked

Yesterday when I got the mail I was puzzled when I saw there was an envelope from Ford Motor Company.  When I opened it I was even more surprised.  It was a recall notice for the party van, the 14 year old party van.  At first I was puzzled how they even tracked me down as the owner of the van but I guess it really isn’t that hard since vehicle registrations are public information.  Evidently there is an issue with one of the wiring harnesses that could potentially cause an engine fire.  Of course when Ali heard this she was worried and suggested that maybe we should try to get it fixed before leaving.  I however was pretty confident that if we made it through the last 14 years, 2 more weeks will probably be ok.  I will take it in when we return.  I have to admit the language in the letter certainly doesn’t make me feel warm and fuzzy , it said something like “don’t park the van underneath a structure” (to prevent the structure from catching on fire as well)

So I heard a few sound bites from the senator from Idaho that was arrested for solicting sex acts in the men’s bathroom of an airport, ironically to a plain clothes policeman.  Evidently this guy is a hard line, anti-gay, right winger that just happens to enjoy sex with men.  What a piece of shit hypocrite.  It’s amazing that he almost managed to keep this buried and out of the public eye.  WTF is it with politicians?   It seems that every few months we are treated to story after story demonstrating just how dishonest the politicians we elect to represent us truly are. 

I heard the funny audio clips of Craig proclaiming he wasn’t gay and how he even though he plead guilty he shouldn’t have.  I also read the police report linked above.  Yea, those certainly don’t seem like the actions of a guy looking for sex….  he just has a “wide stance” when going to the bathroom.
