Honda shows off Insight hybrid

Low-country boil

Aimed at N. America

Comparing this to European diesels and small French runabouts is beside the point. This car is clearly aimed at gasoline drivers in N. America, where those cars A) aren't available and B) diesel is still $1 more per gallon, C) if you can even find a station that has it. The MPG compares favorably with any other small sedan 'round these parts. If ToMoCo can sell 180k Priuseses to the granola and latte set, then Honda should expect to do well when they undercut the price by $3k.

McCain campaign sells unwiped Blackberry for $20

No, no, it's not a coincidence, just a conspiracy

Actually, the little RIMmer apears to have been purchased at the offical McCain-Palin headquarters garage sale that was advertised in the papers - not on ebay. I'll bet 90% of the purchasers of those lappies and crackberries were garbage-picking media drudges looking for a scoop. Given the clear provenance of the equipment, only an extreme fool would have not thought to make sure the electronics were sanitized - preferably with a hammer. Perhaps the senator's POW injuries prevented him from wielding the proper tool.

However, since even the lowliest Geek Squad temp would have known better, it is my firm belief that the information was planted to give the false impression that McCain actually had 50 people working on his campaign.
