Chevy Dept. 180 Teaser

Not just fun. Its their job. This sneak peek at a new Internet series demonstrates how Dept. 180 engineers, technicians, car geeks and other big, juicy brains verify the quality of Chevrolet vehicles through extreme measures.

Not the one last night. I mean the one the President gave to schoolchildren in order to indoctrinate them in his evil philosophy.

I mean this one:

Liar Liar Pants on Fire

The line every pundit will talk about is the GOP congressman — reportedly Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) — who yelled “lie” during the first part of the president’s speech. It was so astoundingly rude that it’s almost certain to backfire and will give the president a few extra approval points among the American public.

This afternoon President Barack Obama will go on television to give a speech to the schoolchildren of America. The speech ( Text below ) is essentially a call to action for the students to do their best and a plea not to give up on school.
For some, to me, inexplicable reason many parents across the country are taking issue with the speech and the temerity of Obama to dare speak to the children of the country. Many schools are not showing the speech due to the outcry. I don’t get it. Obama is not telling anyone what they have to do, he’s giving some common sense advice. What is in this speech then that is so offensive? If you can tell me please do.

And remember: “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.” - John F. Kennedy - January 20 1961

Prepared Remarks of President Barack Obama
Back to School Event

Arlington, Virginia
September 8, 2009

The President: Hello everyone – how’s everybody doing today? I’m here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, kindergarten through twelfth grade. I’m glad you all could join us today.

I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little longer this morning.

I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday – at 4:30 in the morning.

Now I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early. A lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”

I will personally hold every person in Massachusetts in contempt if this happens:

The Bloody Sock goes to Washington

Simply the coolest thing mankind has done so far:

July 20, 1969 - 22:56 EDT

At 4:17PM EDT, stop and remember where you were when you heard “The Eagle has landed.”

At 10:56PM EDT, as you are getting ready for bed, remember how you stayed up late as a child to watch a fuzzy black and white picture of a man making history.

A moon landing today would be extraordinary.  40 years ago it was the apex of human achievement.  Let us never forget the wonder.
