“Gallup: Voter opposition to Obama at 16-year high, worse than Bush, Clinton”

Sounds promising. I’ll be happier though when he becomes less popular than *Carter*.

Very cool, that first clip, Darin.

My old chap was a Corporate Cabbie for years and he had to learn, if not the “knowledge” but the Auckland equivalent before he got his ticket. I helped him with the tests and my eyes glazed over every time. But he did it. Now we have Somalians who cannot even speak English and who have no idea where they are going or know about our sensitivities about young women going home in their cabs. They may be cheaper but my girl will always go home “safely”.

  Yes. You are unlikely to get the Pakistani/Sikh/Somali equivalent of Schumacher (or “sideways” Scheckter) as your driver.

    No, but within ten years you will have a robot at the wheel of your cab…Already Google and other companies are testing driver-less computerized vehicles, so I’d estimate that within ten years you won’t have to put up with those smelly, rude, obnoxious and non-English speaking Pakistani/Sikh/Somali cab drivers, who infect the big cities of West World.

“Gun free zone” a study case-

http://hotair.com/archives/2014/10/06/single-customer-wins-shootout-with-four-armed-robbers-in-texas-bar/

In Texas as in many other states,it is illegal to carry a firearm into a Bar.Notice how the robbers paid this no mind and luckily the customer didn’t either,until the smoke cleared and he exited stage left.

One more useless law IMO that should be abolished.A person is simply good or not, the law be damned.

Thanks, Michael.
That’s a fairly common sight outback and I think Gecko captured it a couple of times. They seem oblivious to everything when they’re boxing.
