I saw this monologue and I understand the ire it created. But there is a truth to the complaint. I dress for myself just as the folks in this article state they do. But the difference is, I don’t choose to expose myself. If you don’t want creepy, don’t expose yourself. Have respect for yourself.

Well, that's interesting. According to Sen Kennedy, intercepting phone messages in an investigation pertaining to an insurrection is a violation of the Speech and Debate Clause in the Constitution. .... So what exactly is a search warrant against a sitting congressman? Rules for thee but not for me?

It really depends on how the auto stop start works. I had the opportunity to drive a Nissan with the feature and absolutely hated it. The AC was tied to the serpentine belt, so when the car would stop. So too would the AC. True Hybrids use electric heat pump AC’s, so they don’t have this problem.
