Today's is worse than the yellow journalism of the turn of the 20th century. They present themselves as objective when they are anything but.
Exactly.
Dealers dont make money on loans, they dont give loans. Basically they get short term loans from banks to buy their inventory from what ever car manufacturer they represent. The longer the car sits on the lot the more they pay in interest on the loan and their profit margin goes down. Cash usually means someone is going to get a much better price than if the dealer negotiates a loan for them…Cash talks, BS walks that kind of thing. In a nutshell: get a loan you pay full, or close to full price. Pay with cash you can get them down lower because they wont let a sale slip away just becuse you pay cash.One trick is to find out if you can how long the car has been on the lot (refered to as lot rot if it's been there 60 to 90 days) They have paid a ton of interest on this car and will be desperate to deal...otherwise it goes to the auction where they will most likely take a loss.
I still have XP. But I think at some point soon I will need to get something newer. Is Vista really better than XP?
Scaremongering sells papers and gets ratings.Trying to be reasonable and talking about solutions? Not so much.
He would have had competition from Norton The First, Emperor of California and Protector of the United States
San Fransisco I believe? Didnt he even have his own money printed?
I believe he ws treated quite well. Of course there were the fire eaters calling for his head but he was generally well respected. In Grants Memoirs in his account of the surrender at Appomattox he almost acts like a nervous little kid rambling on about differnt things while Lee politly had to get him back on track as to the reason they were meeting there.
If Obama is elected things will improve the very next day after his taking the oath. At least according to the press.
(the Emperor finds a Machiavellian sense of satisfaction in dangling carrots of "promised power" in front of his nobles, only to withdraw them at the last second)
The story of my life....
How come I'm not a Senator? i WANT TO BE A SENATOR! Of course after this election maybe it's not all it's cracked up to be….
Couldn't the present European Union be also called an Empire (of sorts) with a European Parliament and a President (Emperor!) elected by the Sovereign States who still retain their own Head of States and Governments.
I say no because each country has it's own seperate laws and government (for now :-). I think the EU can be defined more as a bloc.
Good point. That would be like saying Each of our 50 states (yes even Rhode Island ;D) would be empires because they were part of a more powerful whole. But then again they all do look to Washington in the end dont they?
