No motors on Sunday. I could hear the races over at Road America all afternoon. If they had F1 racing I would go watch. They used to have a Superweek stage over there. Do they still? ScottERob told me about the monster leadout he once gave Snide on that course…Snide was unable to take advantage. I spent hours on the bouncy thing today without injury. Sounds like more investment in bouncy things will be made for next season including a trash bag human launching device. Future injuries await.

Something is going on with the McCain campaign, I don’t know what it is. I just can’t believe the pick of Palin for VP is serious. Before calling her to offer her the spot on the ticket McCain had spoken with Palin a sum total of 20 minutes. 15 minutes at a cocktail party and another 5 by phone, that’s it. They have no previous relationship. How does McCain even know if they can work together? Homme had posted a story a while back that indicated the GOP would not follow through with a nomination for McCain. I am wondering if we will see either McCain or Palin on the ballot in November.

Who among us does not enjoy a BBQ at our cabin? For the US press corps? Fully catered…
McCain is a straight talking mavericky regular guy and former POW who is above criticism. Don’t be pissed if you were not invited to ride on the tire swing.

Movie just finished. I did not know that General Patton was on board. “There’s a Lot to be Said for the Fuehrer” is kind of a catchy little tune. Busty Jones-Moreland played Stewardess Imhoff. Otherwise that film was a piece of crap.

So, using Ben Stein’s figures, if he books a speaking engagement just once a month he makes a half million dollars a year. Just for speaking. I think Stein makes a hell of a lot more money than that. And yet he refers to himself as “upper middle class”.
I think that there must be some kind of mental phenomenon that rich people have so they really believe that they are not rich. I don’t want to say that it is a “defect” that they “suffer” from because, let’s face it, they are rich so why feel sorry for them? Who cares if they are happy or not. If they can’t figure out a way to be happy with all that money then they are probably never going to be happy.
So how would I define “rich”? How about personally making ten times the USA median annual household income level? That would be a half a million dollars per year. You may not be “rich” in savings at that point, but you are living “rich”.
I think people like Ben Stein simply have no idea how little money a lot of people are living on in this country.
