Question marks should just not be allowed in press headlines. Make declarative statements, damn you!

So...is this a pickle incident?

And costs $60,000.

THIS! A great, big, motherfarking THIS!

Thing is, "declarative statements only" was what we were taught in journalism school for making headlines. And then you have to get out there and compete for ad space and page views and shiat and suddenly it's all, "well I guess we can just make crap up to trick people into reading...."

It looks like you can reserve one of the sedan types for around $50,000, and a mandatory $5k downpayment to reserve one. I wish I could afford that, particularly since I'll shortly be getting a new car.

Hot Air, indeed...

I want a Volt Fire. Sounds like an awesome, um, I don't care what the product is, I want it. As for the Chevy Volt, no thank you. I am looking at the Tesla/Toyota team up to see what my next car might be.

Why is it the Obama Administration's responsibility to report product defects?

Or the more likely, Hot Air is a right leaning blog and was addressing a claim that had already been made to the Republican Base *after* the three Republicans asked the question. If you hear babble on talk radio about Obama White House holding back a story, I think it's pretty common to start an entry with the same question, especially if you answer the question with facts and proof. The fact that a group is still going to file a Freedom of Information request tells you that in many minds the question still hasn't been answered. Funny how you hardly ever see these kinds of complaints when a KOS article or Huffpo piece does the same thing. Be happy the article was factual and not loaded with spin.

Because we all know gasoline cars never catch on fire after a major accident.

Did Hot Air give me syphilis?

Rambino: 1. That's half the price of a Roadster - and the projected price of their third car is half of that again. Now that's an impressive cost curve.

Great. Wake me up when I can get one along with a happy meal.

Captain_Ballbeard: But, how many Hot Air readers read the article and still walked away feeling that Fartbongo had done something wrong?

Every single one of them, if the comments derped there are any indication.

Jim_Callahan: Batteries can self ignite and catch on fire? Who knew?

//Everyone born after the 1920s, and most of the people born before as well, that's farking who.

make me some tea: Why is it the Obama Administration's responsibility to report product defects?

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is an executive department department explicitly responsible for verifying that vehicles allowed on US roads fall within certain safety parameters, so... that's why?

Was... was that actually a serious question? It's right in TFA there.

You ever notice how any agency does anything its "The Obama administration" but when the Minerals Management Service was caught being bought off buy the energy industry with cocaine and whores it was still the MMS and not the Bush administration?

Powerful electromagnetic drive train coupled with a psychotic on board computer system. I'm assuming the result would a pilot TV show for the next ABC fall season.
