It’s midterm elections here in California, and as the early results show, the Republican party is back in force. I can’t help but think of the line by SideShow Bob from The Simpsons, episode 2F02, “SideShow Bob Roberts“:
…you need me, Springfield. Your guilty conscience may force you to vote Democratic, but deep down inside you secretly long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king. That’s why I did this: to protect you from yourselves.
That says it all and then some.

“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…” errr nope that’’s not it. Let me try again.
Way back on Dec 21, 2008 , I published a blog called Camo Car Test Fleet Spotted which describes my short but memorable encounter with a test car covered with a crazy sticker pattern and some fabric sheets intended to camouflage the interesting bits. Fast forward to 2010 with a new president handing out universal health care, its about time I follow up on my predictions to please my demanding yet loyal fan base.
Item #1 – The tip I submitted to my favorite car porn site, Autoblog, was never pick up. Boo!!! No matter, as their parent company AOL, Inc just dropped a load of cash in 2009 and the outlook is not so hot for 2010. Face.
Part B – The spied car is not a BMW or even from that little industrious country called South Korean; turns out its actually a Buick Lacross. Yeah I know, how can I call myself a car guy and confuse an American car with a German? Apparently it happens.
Number C – That LaCross (shudders) does not have any cutting edge technology like vertical take off or a hybrid engine. Under the bonnet lies a lazy American V6 or a pathetic Inline 4. Weak.
Looking back on the experience like an old man on his death bed, I completely blew my one chance in going rogue to be a professional car spy photographer dude. Bummer.

We must never forget the victims especially those brave souls on Flight 93
We must always thank the men and women of the armed services.

We must never let these evil doers be free

Last year they Rick Rolled everyone and now they flipped / inverted the layout. Pretty clever geeks. Just think of all those internal meetings they had regarding ‘what should we do for April Fools 2009’
They even left some funny instructions on how to solve the problem…http://www.youtube.com/t/new_viewing_experience
