I had a good chuckle at that line. Really? Edmunds in a nice clearing house for information they get fed from manufacturers and they're a good resource for researching prices and all that.

But if you've ever read one of their supposed in-depth pieces--well--most of it is fuckwitted, shallow and often either completely contrary to reality or "duh" stuff that is intuitive fluff that everyone knows anyways masqued as meticulous research. I would love to know their methodologies and how they arrived that this conclusion.

Did they ask people, "did you need a 'government handout' to buy a car?"

What is someone going to say? "Oh NOOOOO!!! I would have bought one anyways!" (lies).

Edmunds should stick to posting invoice prices of cars and leave actual automotive journalism to professionals...

Yet, when I questioned the research done by Reuters, which knows fuck-all about medicare fraud, you expected me to take it at face value.

Doesn't Buffalo have a community college or some shit you can take a class in logic or critical thinking?

Reuters are actual journalists (sort of). Edmunds is a amateurish site where they send hack writers to be an "uncover carsalesman" who ultimately learn nothing, tell us nothing, and pretty much waste our time with the obvious...

And you can question whatever you want, and believe whatever you want. So can I. If you don't like it, then fuck off and don't read it...

Erie Country does; although I think they're considered to be such a political slush fund and patronage fluff posting for hacks that their sports teams are boycotted in certain parts of the country.

One of my friends was a temporary professor there, and he taught me that I was smarter than most college professors (and libertarians )

And neither are researchers.

Over the years, I've become a big proponent of community colleges. But not if they're corrupt, I guess.

Go with it man! Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Either can be "researchers" --if inept ones I guess...

Well, we agree on something. I think we've agreed before on this point -- that community colleges should become effectively 13th and 14th grade in the public schools curriculum...

That would be alcohol, and copious amounts of it.

I tried to trade Sammy Hagar for cash but they refused to take that clunker.
