What a trooper! Shia LaBeouf talks about his
return to the set to finish filming Transformers with a broken hand that
had to be written into the script.
I learned from him that the Hatch Valley
once had a volcano erruption and the hot lave might be what made the
chile taste so good. One thing was for certain, the best chile is
planted and harvested in southern New Mexico.
What the hell? Why would
these people, this underclass, this despised minority, feel a kinship
with a singer that represents the right wing status quo? Shouldn't these
guys be listening to Steppenwolf (or at least Eminem)? Lets face it, the
main stream of America doesn't hang out in places like this. In fact,
most suburban middle class goons would prefer that these people simply
vanish from the planet. So why would the customers at Twisted Sisters
get behind this new super nationalism? This was like seeing Jewish kids
singing Deutschland Uber Alles, for god's sake.

Sales of Ford's Lobo pick-up
truck are falling sharply with Mexican consumers because as it turns
out, the truck is a favorite of cartel hit men and drug runners. Drivers
are now afraid to drive the truck out of fear for being mistaken by
cartel gunmen as a rival. In 1970 my husband bought a Dodge R/T for $5000. The
price of the car was usually a bit less, but this particular car had all
the bells and whistles needed to be a true Muscle Car. If kept in mint
condition this car would now be worth approximately $50,000. He was
young and foolish though; blew up the engine, and just trashed the car.
To this day, the thought of his youthful waste makes him kind of
sick.
I had just started on another beer when someone dropped a few
coins in the juke box. The music was bad country. To my utter disgust
the first song that played was that "I want to stick a boot up your
butt" super-patriotic, ultra-jingoist thing by the guy in the
buy truck san diego commercials. The people around me began to sing
along loudly. Well,
since that was the only plan the three of us were able to come up with
that whole evening, I figured it was destiny. There really wasn't
anything else going on in my life so as dawn arrived we headed for the
Army recruiting office. There were, of course, some tests for me to
take. When I came back it was just out of the guilt that I had.
I pride myself on my professionalism, and this is the first issue I've
ever had where I wasn't able to come to set ... The thing that cut deep
to the core of me was knowing that there were 65 human beings who are like family to me, waiting for me to come back. They were
sitting on their asses doing nothing because of my...you know, my
situation. The situation might sound like a win-win but some
people say "Cash for Clunkers" is a speed bump, slowing customers who
might want a used car. Used car dealers at Naff Auto Sales told WSLS the
program could force people into buying a new car. Another possible
problem, Clunkers traded in with the program have to be destroyed,
meaning they won't end up for sale on a used car lot. Better for the
environment, bad for used car business. But many say it's a trade we
need to make. Many don't want to put the brakes on the program. In an
interview with WSLS, the president of Berglund Automotive said close to
40 people have taken advantage of the government program so far. They
say "Cash for Clunkers" is giving customers the kick they need to get a
new car.
