Following a 34% drop in year to year sales, Ford Motor Company...
...has been forced to downgrade John McCain from Maverick to Pinto and to deny that they are responsible for any flaming explosions from his campaign, claiming that they have found proof that lobbyists for the banking industry rather than their engineers designed his campaign...

1. I went to Coconut Ford here in Estero Florida today....
Absulutely full lot filled with cars that are about to become a year old when the 2010 cars start hitting the lots. I wanted to look at the Ford Hybrid SuV the Escape. As I was pulling in I saw, you're not gonna believe this, a fucking McCain sign. And a shitload of the local Republican Congressman's sign.

I got out of my car, looked at the Escape (they only had the non hybrid). A salesman approached. I pointed out to the sign and asked him who puts those out. He says the owner of the dealership. I ask if he realizes they lose business because of that. He asks me why and I told him because I'll never buy a car here now, I'll go down to the one in Naples and buy one there. He says that owner is probably Republican too.

And I said, "He may be, but he's smart enough not to shove John McCain down my throat as I'm driving on to the lot."
