Exxon Mobil CEO Suffers From Mental Handicap

He's a moron.

"As a businessman, it's hard to speak favourably about any new tax, but a carbon tax strikes me as a more direct, more transparent and more effective approach," Rex Tillerson, CEO of the Irving, Texas based company, said Thursday at the Woodrow Wilson international center for scholars in Washington.

At a Dec. 11 event in Chicago, Tillerson, 56, said he preferred a carbon tax to carbon trading programs such as the type used in Europe.


I don't know about you, but my Suburban will roll right by every Exxon station without even lifting off the accelerator.

Here's a thought: Those of us who drive vehicles that emit large quantiies of "green house gas" (strangely enough due to the consumption of large quantities of Exxon main product) purchase our petroleum elsewhere. We could all burn Shell or BP while the greenies in their death trap disposable micro-cars patronize Exxon. It wouldn't take long for the Rockefellers to fire the Tinman and hire a CEO with a brain.

Pure Fucking Gold

I note Vox has taken a much more hands-on approach discouraging thread stealing, cocoment bashing, and off topic comments.

The following "somehow" managed to escape unedited by everyone's favorite umbrella drink connoisseur......

Do learn how to link, folks. It's not hard and it's easier for people to see what you want them to read.



Bite me. If cocomment was worth it's weight it would make those cut and paste links clickable.

I mean seriously, even haloscan has figured out how to do this.


For some reason I can't read that without hearing a voice-over of "Bubbles" from the Power Puff Girls.

One of Many Reasons Bugs are so Cool

They fit into a 10 x 10 barn stall!


Now what?



Four bolts, four wires, one throttle cable, a motorcycle jack, and 10 minutes later...



Looks like somebody forgot to clearance the bell housing......



That would have to be one wobbly crankshaft otherwise.

And so it begins

``Ho Ho Ho! Death to the surveillance state! Free movement for all people!''

The group that posted the video also wrote ``lumps of coal to all of those who make it their business to watch and control.''




Soon these will be identified as "Domestic Terrorists" attempting to do damage to civic institutions by interrupting their revenue streams

News Flash! The Clintons have been Taking Bribes

Duh!

I love how this gets reported as news since the old windbag finally came clean on the "donors" for his "library". No one with even half a brain ever doubted this was going on. As much as the American populace is exposed to these two shakedown artists, you'd think even the MSM would have gotten the message long ago.

Kinda makes me wonder, though, if maybe the fact of hubby's shady dealing's weren't being held over the Lizard Queen's head to keep her in line during the ascendancy of the Magic Negro. Or if perhaps this being widely reported doesn't serve to move the spotlight off said Magic Negro during his recent brush with civic misbehavior.

Further Evidence Harley Owners Don't Know Shit About Motorcycles


Props to Bill Denton of the GPzList and Amazon.com :

144 pages to explain to the moorons to drain oil, remove filter, replace filter, replace drain plug, refill with oil. Here's a review:



3 of 4 people found the following review helpful:
1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy, August 22, 2007
By M.Mac (Prospect, KY USA) - See all my reviews
Change the Oil is not going to win any book awards. It was disappointing. Very poorly organized with random points made through out and other points repeated multiple times. The information could have been conveyed in about 10 well written pages. It could have used a proof reader. There were many misspellings, missing words, etc. Photos were of a very poor quality. I really don't know whether I should trust the information. I recommend you find another source for the information


Of course M.Mac knows highly technical stuff like this is best left to the rocket scientists at the Hardly Dealer. They can do this stuff with one hand behind their back diggin' in their exposed ass-crack.

Yes!, I do consider you a lowly bar hopping idiot barely capable of remembering to inhale regularly without prompting if you are incapable of performing this basic maintenance procedure on your own bike for this simple reason: a rider will find himself in the middle of a ride when an oil change comes due. Of course, a Hardly rider can just keep pourin' fresh oil in to replace what leaks out and is burned by his POSHOG thereby having an effectively continous oil change.

UPDATE: !Note to readers! - disregard any mechanical advice posted under the reviews. It's just my old GPz homies playin' around tryin' to help a Hardly to the junkpile. This means you, MM.

UPDATE II (They just can't help themselves...) :
Come on bro. $35.00 to learn how to change your oil on a motorcycle where both the drain plug and fill plug are in easy sight? I think that's worthy of a little ridicule. Of course, $35.00 isn't bad when you have to pay $15.00 a quart for the genuine Harley-Davidson Motor Oil. You need a very special oil to keep that cutting edge technology lubed and in tip top shape.
I have a Harley rider/friend who still uses straight 50w in cool weather and
actually uses 90w gear lube in the crankcase when it gets hot out. Keeps it
from leaking out as fast. He also carries a drip cup to catch the oil that
leaks out and pours it back in the bike before he starts it up. (I'm not
joking)

Cooling Trend Proves Global Warming!

That fact that it is getting cooler actually means it is getting warmer...... It takes a scientist or a socialist to actually cook up this shit.


Come on now. You new the greenies were gonna say this nonsensical bullshit as a last gasp. They are in a frenzy because they know the time is about up for a big power grab to start us back toward grass huts and shittin' in a hole. The Black Jimmy Carter - I see The Misery Index on the horizon!

Mother Nature, of course, is oblivious to the federal government's machinations. Ironically, 2008 is on pace to be a slightly cooler year in a steadily rising temperature trend line. Experts say it's thanks to a La Nina weather variation. While skeptics are already using it as evidence of some kind of cooling trend, it actually illustrates how fast the world is warming.

The Braggarts

One day, three international bloggers were comparing their swordmanship:


Vox says, "When I've a finished a makina da love withah my wife, I go down and gently tickle the back of her knees, She floats 6 inches above a da bed in ecstasy."

Nate replies, "Zat is noting, when Ah've finished making ze love with ze wife, Ah kiss all ze way down her body and zen Ah lick za soles of her feet wiz mah tongue and she floats 12 inches above ze bed in pure ecstasy." (editors note: Nate really does talk this way.)

Gary says, "That ain't nothing buddy. When I've finished pokin the ole lady, I git out of bed, walk over to the winder and wipe my wiener on the curtains. She hits the freakin ceiling.

General Motors Used to Have Ideas

This '57 Chevy Wagon sports early versions of Power Steering and Power Brakes.

Note the Power Steering Pump on the back of the Generator. For the ladies among us, those are currently belt driven and independent. The '57 setup is very VW like in that it seeks to get more than one function from a single assembley.

Buyer Beware : Motorcyclist

DO NOT BUY:

The January issue of Motorcyclist magazine.

These sorry asses have put together one of the most heart wrenching winter issues in memory. I hate 'em. I hate 'em. I hate 'em.

In one issue there is an article about a lighter faster ZX6R, the wicked F800GS in Moab, motorcycle touring in Costa Rica (GS's of course), a hollywood motorcycle stuntman who traded his 'busa in on an 1150GS and never looked back, and a way cool scooter rider's club.

There is some of the best riding centric prose I have ever read on fallen brethren and also, by a middle aged fella (Jack Lewis) on his BMW R1200S, about the choices those of us with worn carcasses must make to pursue our two wheeled passions;

"Nice guys don't finish last. They take extra laps while the cool guys blow up and crash out of the game. Lead thee not into temptation. Into the valley of death rode nobody sane. Take a step back from the edge, ride home and kiss your family.
Sometimes I don't. The devil stands behind me wearing toe-cleavage pumps an designer decolletage. She strokes my hair while I bet, laughing at pot limits while I flop sweat, addled and hoopy and tracking like a scud.
Those are the times I have to push in the whole stack. On the day that I lose - and everybody loses, a chip at a time or the whole pile at a single throw - she'll laugh again and raise an eyebrow at the Dealer"
You have been warned.

A Nation Arms Itself

From Gun Test Magazine:

"We are seeing what I can Only describe as panic buying for civilian self-defense rifles, in particular, semiautomatic AR-15s, AK47s, SKSes, FALs, and so on."

This most celebrated president-elect in generations has spawned a somewhat curiously negative reaction.

Don't mind us, we're just ignorant folk out here in flyover country clinging to our guns and religion.
