Explaining Why

Drive Time

This is probably the best and most honest look at why we buy stuff — in this case specifically, Porsche cars — and it’s only a little over 20 minutes long.

I like everything about this video:  the maker’s almost child-like curiosity, the lack of humbug and the dawning realization of what, exactly, Porsche is all about.

There’ll be a longer video appearing here tomorrow, on a more specific Porsche, but this is an excellent starter pack.

Enjoy.

Oh, and for a bonus in the video: Jay Leno absolutely skewers Ferrari.

Sharing The Goodness

Good Stuff, Illegal immigrants

TexGov Greg Abbott continues to do good work:

“President Biden’s inaction at our southern border continues putting the lives of Texans—and Americans—at risk and is overwhelming our communities,” said Governor Abbott. “To continue providing much-needed relief to our small, overrun border towns, Chicago will join fellow sanctuary cities Washington, D.C. and New York City as an additional drop-off location. Mayor Lightfoot loves to tout the responsibility of her city to welcome all regardless of legal status, and I look forward to seeing this responsibility in action as these migrants receive resources from a sanctuary city with the capacity to serve them.” 

Many Texans (me too, sometimes) think that Abbott is a bit of a squish, but in this regard, he’s a stone killer.  Keep it going, Guv.

And they have one, just as pretty, in .22 LR as well… and at over 60 years old (like me), these look in better shape than I am.

Disrespect

Clothing, Grooming

So this young couple got married, in a church, even.

The priest looked priestly, the bride looked lovely, and the groom:

…looked like a complete twat.

Seriously:  at some point this moron looked at all the clothing choices he had available for his wedding day, and decided on the Sunday Brunch Outfit?

I’m not a believer in the “body language” thing, but it’s no wonder the bride is leaning towards the priest rather than her poor choice of a husband.
