Humvee + McDonald’s equals a match made in heaven.

Someone Needs a Better MouthpieceFor all the shots that get aimed justifiably at the press, every once in a while there’s a glint of hope. Here’s one of those rare (and AWESOME) occasions where a reporter hangs on for the ride in pursuit of a straight answer to her question. Kudos to you big-hoop-earring lady.

Oh, Janeane, if only we’d listened….“I’m feeling a little nostalgic for a time when we didn’t yet know how shitty things were going to be….”
