@Laura Northrup:

Thank god you weren't in that. Love the "Woof" sticker.

I have to admit, the first thing I thought of when reading this headline was the Simpson episode.

Is that for any particular reason, or has someone just carelessly set a protection setting?

To answer your questions: no, I was not in the car. It was parked on the street and a moron drove into it with a minivan going 50 in a 30 zone.

besides, 237 house members make over $1m a year. They all stick together one way or another.

I actually just sold my poor car to a demo derby for the same price I would have gotten for it to scrap it. I feel a lot better about the fate of my car. He wants it this way. Well he really wanted to be blown up by Conan O'Brian, but alas, that was not his fate. This will have to do.

@cmdrsass: "Absolutely, it is just like when they moved the phrase "In God We Trust" to the edge of the One dollar coins, rather than placing the phrase on the front face of the coin. Freedom Haters. Who makes a decision like that?" Sarah Palin

By denying Truckasaurus, Obama is making Dr. House extremely upset. Heaven forbid he has some kind of bizarre and hard-to-diagnose illness - House will probably dangle Truckasaurus over his head before telling him he's lying about his symptoms and telling Omar Epps to break into the White House.

Because they hate freedom, of course.
