Flaming blasphemy — a Corvette body on a Fisker?

Posted by Leslie Eastman on January 16, 2013 6 Comments

I would like to introduce the "Shrine of Flaming Capitalism's Product of the Month": The Destino. And flaming is a worthy designation indeed. The Destino is essentially a Fisker body over a Corvette Engine. Legal Insurrection readers may recall Fisker is a company that produces plug-in hybrid...

Breaking the “Left-Right Paradigm” one living room at a time

Posted by Leslie Eastman on January 15, 2013 44 Comments

I am often asked why I remain a registered Democrat, despite my decidedly fiscal-sanity oriented independent streak. In part, it is how I can effectively fight the "left-right" political paradigm that is being used by the elite media and politicos to divide us, in order to...

My wife repeatedly promises to stop cursing at the television. Completely unrelated to that, we didn't watch the Obama press conference today.
