This is like something out of a sitcom...
(from Drudge)
BUSH EVENT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE: Event workers had been told to fire off confetti pods when Bush said, 'God Bless'... his normal closing line. But 5 minutes before the end of his speech, Bush offered a "God Bless" to Arlene Howard, mother of George Howard a Port Authority of New York/New Jersey Police Officer killed in the World Trade Center... BLAM!!!!! Everyone first ducked -- hard -- then looked up to see confetti falling. Bush looked momentarily stunned, then plain unhappy, then just went on with his speech as the confetti rained to the floor of the Verizon Wireless Arena... |
| I'm not sure what the in falootin' heck your post is doing on this thread, Henri, but I actually test-drove the 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT w/ a stick shift. I wanted the "premium package," though, (to get the Anti-lock brakes & side air bags) and that package included automatic. It seemed ludicrous to pay extra to get stick and the automatic Eclipse features a poor man's stick dubbed "Sportronic," that lets you manually shift gears -- but will shift up/down for you if it thinks you're being an ass. |
