The saga of my car

On Friday at 11 p.m. some (probably) drunk jerk in a Land Rover smashed into my parked car right outside my living room window. It was scary.

This is my car now:

my destroyed car

My own personal sleuthing and some help from the local Land Rover dealer (not that any of you are Land Rover buyers, but if you happen to be in the market, Tim Fox from Jaguar Land Rover Minneapolis was super nice and helpful in my quest, so I thought I’d give him a plug) led me to what you see below.

The drunk, nasty jerk who hit my precious, precious car drove something like what you see below. A dark-colored Land Rover Discovery, circa 2000-2002. If you see such a vehicle with any damage to it, get me the license plate number as soon as you can. Below is what it would look like (sort of Jeep Cherokee-like, but taller)

I know I said I’d have an issues post by yesterday, but it’s been kind of a stressful weekend. So you’ll have to be patient…

ACK! Why feminism isn’t a relic.

This breaks my heart. Via Feministing:

Men presidents only

I think that having a woman president would be a bad idea for our country. Women are not meant to rule countries and be in charge. They are meant to make decisions but not confirm them.

Our president deals with some countries that don’t respect or allow women in leadership positions. I wonder if the United States would have more terrorist attacks because we would be seen as weak with a woman leader. I agree that women can do many things, but leave the ruling of the countries to the men.
