Does this article use date rape imagery to explain Senator Scott Brown’s win in Massachussetts?

Or is it just plain old womanizing?

“I’m going to need some Advil and a cold compress, please. I’m the Massachusetts Electorate, and I have what is bar none the absolute worst hangover of my entire voting life.

Seriously, I was so drunk on power, so caught up in the moment, so free of any of my usual inhibitions, I can’t remember what’s gone on these last two weeks. Think, Electorate, think. What did I do?

This much I’m starting to remember. Martha and I walked into the party and everything seemed to be going fine. She wasn’t talking much, but she never really does, and she wasn’t exactly pushing me to bare my soul, either. That’s what I’ve always liked about Martha: She’s a low-maintenance politician.

And now I’m vaguely recalling that stranger across the room, the one in the barn jacket who kept smiling at me and seemed to know my name. Martha vanished for a while, and – is it bad that I’m saying this? – I didn’t really care.

Suddenly, that tall, handsome man was standing at my side doing something that Martha rarely did – offering to pay for drinks, chatting me up, curious what was on my mind.

Every time I ever tried telling Martha about my day, my hopes, my dreams, she shushed me and said she was preparing a legal brief or watching “Law & Order.’’ And now there’s a stranger telling me he could change my entire world.

Scott! That was his name. Lived near the outlet stores. Talked a lot about being smarter with money. I know, not like Martha, who always had some expensive home renovation project up her sleeve.

And then, I remember that time itself seemed to stop. The mundanity of everyday events gave way to the exhilaration of my suddenly unpredictable existence. No more Martha taking me for granted. No more Martha calling all the shots. I was living the moment, immersed in the life I always wanted before caution overwhelmed desire.

We were on the dance floor, Scott and I, moving to the music, his hands all over my body politic. Everyone was watching, and I mean everyone – fellow partygoers, bartenders, passersby staring in the windows. Look at me, the Massachusetts Electorate, the bellwether of America!

I think I took my shirt off. I think I didn’t care. I remember something about Scott in a pair of Calvin Klein jockey shorts, but it may have been a picture he showed me from his wallet.

Out of nowhere, there were video cameras filming us from every angle. Analysts were describing the events. Scott’s important friends were texting and calling my cell. Get this: Curt Schilling, talking to a regular old Electorate like me.

Then, above the din and the music and the cheering, I distinctly heard someone ask, “How’s Martha going to feel about this?’’

And just like that, there she was, back at the bar, giving me that aloof prosecutorial look I knew all too well. I went back to her, sweaty and out of breath. Amazingly, she didn’t seem angry. She didn’t really show any emotion at all. She just pretended like nothing ever happened and tried to continue on.

Oh, but something did happen. I knew it, she knew it, and so did Scott, who was still beckoning from the other end of the bar, asking me to take a walk outside. And now it’s coming clear: I did.

He was talking nonstop, but I noticed he was repeating himself over and over again – 41st vote, and drawing boards, and being a “Scott Brown Republican.’’ He was starting to lose me until we were standing in front of a GMC pickup and he said, “This is my truck.’’

Oh, you bad boy. You bad, bad boy.

I remember catching my breath. I remember pulling a curtain shut. I remember having to make a really important choice.

I needed to send a message. I don’t know much about Scott, and I have no idea how long he’ll be in my life, but I do know that nobody will ever take me for granted again.

Can I avoid paying such a high traffic citation fee?

if i get a citation for my windows being too dark and I remove the tint before my court date, will they still charge me the full amount or give me a smaller fee? I got pulled over and the trooper asked to check my windows; when I got them done I was told it was legal, he told me that my tint is registering at 11% visibility while the law is 25% in Texas. I apologized and removed the tint once I got home; the citation states that I could be fined up to $303. I removed the tint and before my court date, will I still have to pay the full $303 or is there any way out that anybody knows? BTW the guy who did my tint is offering to redo it free of charge and is re reading the laws to ensure that he puts on the legal amount.

When they cure the clear coat, will they ruin my soft top during the baking process?

Hello, I had to bring my car into a collision repair shop after some one ran a stop sign. Now I have a soft top with tinted windows, I was curious as to what they are going to do about my top while painting. I haven’t had any experience with convertibles while I was painting. Now the car is a 2005 Jeep Wrangler with tinted windows. I’m sure the heat from the paint booth would cause some issues with my top, but do you think they will be smart enough to remove it from my car and spend all the extra labor money taping off my bucket? or do you think that they would just try and paint/tape with the top still attached and on? I’m concerned for my top. I’ve heard many stories where the detail guy didn’t know what to do and he scratched the crap out of the windows to the point where you can’t see out of them. If they mess up my top they are required to replace it right? This is a shop called Bob Hastings Collisions and its a Geico xpress shop in NY.

Any help/advice/comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’m supposed to pick it up tonight!
Ah, I always thought that it was by temperature. The teacher made us sit in a paintbooth once while it was curing to let us know what happened, all I remember was it getting really hot. And yeah thats true about making mistakes, but you I’m sure have been told about the laws of darwin.
Not darwin Murphy dam! haha

Orignal or Restomod? 1973 Thunderbird 460 big block…?

I am considering buying a 1973 ford thunderbird. It ahs the 460 big block and is a deep blue colour. What would be smarter, restore it to classic or Restomod it? If i was to restomod it was thinking of putting a holly 850 cfm carb, 0.0030 overbore, painting it a blue pearlescent, 235/70/15R firestones up front 255/60/17R firsetones in the back, magnaflow 44 series exhaust, Some descent rims, a customized suspension system, tinting the windows with a 50% black tint, and customising the interior. Would that raise the value? I could do either but what would make it worth more?

I was given a ticket with 2 violations and I was wondering what would be smarter?

I have two violations 1. No sunscreen label on tinted windows 2. Illegal left turn. Well I do have a good excuse for the Illegal left turn, when I went to court the first time they rescheduled me for trial by judge. The question is how good is getting a lawyer to dismiss these tickets, or how hard is it for me to do it myself? Just because i’ve had a lawyer before and I ended up probably paying the same for him, court fees and defensive driving. By the way it was in Houston, TX.
