In the meantime, a note to the Ex-President-to-be: Dude, stick with the flag pin on the lapel. At this stage in your administration’s tailspin, I would recommend accessories that divert, rather than draw, attention.

I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you down the road! Greetings Sonnenschutzfolien

Thank you Beavis for resolving this dilemma at last!
Sometimes when I see one of the newer models on the street, I ask “Is that a real Jaguar or is that a Ford Jaguar?”
