Free Lunch by David Cay Johnston.

Happy Birthday!

I was at the mall over the weekend and someone "special" had parked his Aston Martin in the beginning of the firelane, next to the last parking spot.  Now I get that you make a lot of money and can afford an AM, but why you don't have to park in a normal spot like everyone else....  Some complaint about all the idiots who either sit right in front of the doors to a store while their spouse shops for like a half hour, or they themselves "just run in for a second"...  I think if a car is parked illegally for more than 30 seconds it should be legal to dent the fenders.

That and when the normal flow of traffic is 70 mph+, but when it rains everyone goes 50mph.  Its really not raining that hard, and if you are having trouble, move to the right, don't just sit in the left lane going 50 in a 55!

Now that Hasbro has released the Clone and Droid Battlefront sets.  What are the chances we'll see sets featuring the Rebel and Imperial factions from the game?

Anyone think we'll see a repaint of the already release R2-D2 as R2-KT?  A lot of JDers caught a droid that looked an awful lot like the 501st tribute/Make a Wish tribute figure in the Movie.

This might be a little, ok lot, of a stretch but something happened like that in the US.  During the Civil war a lot of guys were promoted very fast up the ranks, I think Custer was the youngest general ever, age 23, at the end of the war he was a Major General.  When he joined the Army after the war he was a Lt. Colonel.

So maybe they'll explain this away by saying the Army of the Republic was disbanded after the Clone Wars, and Yularren lost his Flag, and then he worked his way back up in the Imperial Army.

Like I said, a stretch.

I never got a Cmdr Cody, but looking at the prices he gets on Ebay today, I'm not sure I will.  I regularly see him over $10-$15 w/o shipping.  Man.  Guess I'll keep waiting, and hope that Hasbro resculpts.
