Ralph Nader Wouldn't like me

Well, I did it. I purchased the car i've always wanted, a Corvair Monza. Its a 1963 sedan, with the larger 145cui engine and black leather interior. The engine is tired, real tired, and leaks oil like crazy. Good news is that i was able to find a fellow corvair enthusiast who lives less than ten miles away, and was able to find an engine for me. He's going to show me how to drop the engine and transaxle, swap the engine and reinstall it in the car. He's done it in as little as six hours before. It only takes about 30 minutes to drop the entire engine and transaxle on a corvair. He's even letting me use his garage.

For more information on one of the most unique vehicles to come out of detroit, visit CORSA, The Corvair Society of America.

Islam: Hadith on The Abuse of Women

"Omar reported from the Holy Prophet (Muhammed) who said, 'No man shall be questioned for beating his wife.'"
(Al Hadis, Vol. 1, p. 215)

"The prophet said: 'When a man calls his wife to bed and she does not come, the husband spends the night being angry with her, and the angels curse her until morning. The one who is in heaven is displeased with her until the husband is pleased with her.'"
(Sahih hadith, chapter 558)

"The Prophet (Muhammed) said: 'I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful.' It was asked, 'Do they disbelieve in Allah?' (or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, 'They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds) done to them. If you have always been good (benevolent) to one of them and then she sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, 'I have never received any good from you.'"
(Hadith, Sahih Bukhari 1:2:28)

"Abu Sayeed al-Khodri reported that Muhammed was talking to a group of women when he said, '... I see the majority of you will go to Hell.' The women asked why, to which Muhammed responded, 'You often curse and are ungrateful to your companions.' He then told them they had a basic defect in their nature, to which they responded, 'How?' Muhammed answered, 'Is not the attestation (knowledge and witness) of a women only worth half of a man's? And that is on account of her short intelligence.'"
(Al-Hadis, Vol. 3, p. 137)

Media Matters: Liberal Front Group Attacks Glenn Beck

After watching the first episode of The Glenn Beck Show, I did a quick google search of his name to see what the top results would be. The second result was for a Liberal website named Media Matters, a liberal front group describes itself as a"progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media." I looked into their posts on beck and I found the pages littered with the term "bigot, Racist, and Misinformed" in pretty much every other sentence. I agree that beck has said some things that seem controversial, but that is his shtick. He's edgy. Liberals are allowed to be "edgy," but we never hear mention of that. Mediamatters said that he called katrina victims scumbags, but in reality, the liberals at media matters don't give you the full picture of the Scumbags that Glenn spoke of. In the next sentence Beck went on to explain that the scumbags were those in new Orleans who were carrying plasma TV's from electronics stores, shooting at rescue helicopters, and engaging rescue workers and new Orleans police in firefights in the days after Katrina. Those people deserve every letter of the word scumbag. Look at Austin Texas. Over six months after residents of the New Orleans ghettos migrated, the murder rate in Austin alone has grown a whopping 22% since Katrina, while the year before the murder and overall crime rate had actually fallen. If that isn't the work of "scumbags," than i dont know what is. There's more to come on this folks, stay tuned. By the way, what about all of that liberal bias in the media? Who's gonna take care of that?

WTAM Drops Jerry Springer

Well, I was right. Less than a year after the liberal Asshat took the morning time slot from Glenn Beck, the ratings on WTAM have fallen so low that they would rather Drop him for some local guy that nobody has heard of before. It thrills me to see the entire Air America network go up in flames. I've never heard of a network paying radio stations to carry their programs, that's a new low. It just proves that wherever liberalism is tried it fails.
