Fast Cars, Fast Lips, and Faster Fists

Today's Song: Black Sunshine by White Zombie

An ode to the joy of a fast car.  Black Sunshine rocks.  This is the most dangerous song in my car.  Every time I hear it i want to open 'er up and see what my convertible can do.  I am too old for such nonsense.  I am past the age that I ought to be doing 150 on the interstate. (Don't tell my Dad that I used to routinely do that with the Monza he gave me.)  I don't even really speed any more, but every time Black Sunshine comes on I want to.

Today is going to be another current event inspired post.  Seems that BBC chief and liberal limp dick, Danny Cohen, wants to end Jeremy Clarkson's career at the BBC.  Cohen has cancelled the last two episodes of Top Gear for the season and would like to not renew Clarkson's contract.  This would be a colossal error on Cohen's part.  Top Gear is the BBC's top original property and I imagine Clarkson's Q number is a few orders of magnitude better than Cohen's.  But lefties are especially immune to reason and the BBC is immune to market forces so Cohen may get his way.

I am not going to regale you with the long list of whining about the myriad of ways Clarkson has supposedly misbehaved.  If you want to read that you can find it yourself.  It makes for good reading and serves as a cautionary tale about selecting between two indistinguishable cars. Besides Clarkson has friends who can speak for him.

The BBC needs Clarkson far more than he needs the BBC.  Clarkson stays out of loyalty and admiration to the BBC.  He could make far more money on a private channel so he'll be fine either way.  Hell, the private market will give him a rider to his contract that he can punch whomever he chooses as long as he keeps delivering the ratings.

Ordinarily I'd advise you all to steer well clear of Change.org.  This place is the bastion of left wing whining.  Normally Change.org is the enemy or free markets and free men everywhere.  I used to go there to sign petitions to improve the conditions for animals or get Sea World to stop torturing marine mammals, but I got tired of all the ridiculous liberal spam that came to my inbox.

But Change.org is where the petition is placed to restore Clarkson to Top Gear.  I implore you all to add your name to the petition.  Logically it makes no sense that adding your name to a petition is going to change anything, but remember lefties are immune to reason so maybe this will work.

Britain needs Clarkson.  He reminds all of us swaggering Americans that we don't have a monopoly on machismo.  This is a man that is willing to piss of an entire country for a laugh.  (Suck it, Argentina, you lost to the better nation.)  If you can't support such a man then you have no interest in supporting any man.  As I said when I signed, "BBC, you have enough prissy liberals to show the world, you need a little balance. A diverse Great Britain includes men like Jeremy Clarkson."

It won't take much time and it might just in this one instance make the world a little bit better place.

Sign here for real men, and women, that like fast cars everywhere.

Later
