    When a republican president takes office, or until he doesnt want the position anymore.

    He actually is against legalization of weed, so that has to curry favor with some Repubs.

    It's a war that can't be won. And the heroin and cocaine problem is getting worse. Pretty much a no win position but he seems to have the right attitude.

    While Lewis Hamilton very well may be the best driver in F1, it isn't as much of a slam dunk as they made it on that piece. He is just for sure better than Nico Rosberg, his teammate, whose cars are head and shoulders better than everyone else in the sport by a wide margin the last two years.

    So I take it you know a little (at least about Formula 1) then. I have a question then...

    In the piece, he said that F1 cars would get up to speed about the same as an IndyCar but he said the difference was that they are able to make turns much faster. Why is this? To my naked, amateur eye, IndyCars and F1 cars seem to be designed very similarly.

    Along those lines, what makes Formula 1 better/worse than IndyCar on the whole?

    Bankz social assassin NineteenNine probably know better. I am pretty new to the sport.

    While Lewis said it was similar, I am guessing that F1 is in fact faster - he was probably saying both are in another league from Nascar. Aside from that, the amount of money spent on the chassis, aerodynamics, etc is in another league from Indy. I am not that familiar with modern Indy cars, but they could easily just add horsepower and get a 0-100 similar to F1, but thats similar to a Corevette ZR1 being as fast in a straight line as much more expensive sports cars but it gets smoked in the corners.

    F1 is the gold standard as a whole in motorsport historically, they have the best drivers and most technologically advanced cars. That doesn't necessarily mean that the end product is any better or worse than other forms of motorsport. The last few years races have been very predictable.

    The amount of time and resources F1 teams can put in to designing the aerodynamics of cars to find that perfect of balance of downforce and straight line speed outpaces any other series in the world. The data they collect on the cars on track to the wind tunnels to the computer modeling allows them to constantly finesse and improve and create an aerodynamic car that hugs the roads through corners.

    When you can carry more speed throughout the entire lap you're going to go faster. In some instances nascar cars can get a faster top speed. Motorcycles can accelerate much faster. But over the course of a lap a formula 1 car is going to destroy both of them

    60 Minutes’ Steve Kroft Guzzled Champagne from Mistress’s Ass:
    [​IMG]


    Earlier today, the National Enquirer ran a story alleging that 60 Minutescorrespondent Steve Kroft has been cheating on his wife, the journalist Jenny Conant, with a Manhattan lawyer named Lisan Goines for over 3 years. Now the 69-year-old Kroft has confirmed the Enquirer’s scoop, which drew from extensive text message conversations between the paramours, in a statementto the New York Post:

    “I had an extramarital affair that was a serious lapse of personal judgment and extremely hurtful to my wife and family, and for that I have nothing but regret,” Kroft said in a statement to the Post. “My wife and I are committed to each other and are working hard to get past this, and consider it a private matter.”

    The bulk of the Enquirer’s story is not online, but the Post acquired a physical copy of the paper and highlighted a few PG-13 details of Kroft and Goines’ affair—including an incident where Kroft quaffed some champagne he had poured down Goines’ backside:

    The newsman — who boasted to Goines that he was the “go-to” interviewer forPresident Obama — had some particularly unusual tastes in bed, the mag said. One time, he was “pouring champagne in her behind and drinking the bubbly,” the report claims. [...]

    In one sexting session, Kroft allegedly cooed to Goines, “Miss you and all that goes with it. Especially my favorite tastes and colors … pink and brown.” Another time, the 69-year-old newsman asked Goines, 41, “What exactly would be your preference,” the Enquirer reported. “U all over and deep inside of me,” Goines responded.

    At one point, the hard-working TV journalist, who has a son with Conant, lamented his long hours on the job, the report said. “Working late. Just ordered out. Would rather be eating your pudding,” he allegedly wrote.

    Goines, who is 41 and married, allegedly ended the affair because she felt Kroft had become too needy: “Lisan never wanted him to leave his wife, and she never contemplated leaving her husband and she told him it was best that it end.” An active Facebook account registered under her name contains photos of a woman who appears to be her; she was most recently photographed in public at a December 2013 champagne reception held in Manhattan for the chef Paul Liebrandt.

    This is not the first sex scandal to befall 60 Minutes. While stationed in Iraq in 2008, the married foreign affairs correspondent Lara Logan began sleepingwith CNN correspondent Michael Ware and a military contractor named Joe Burkett (who ended up divorcing his wife to marry Logan). The tale of Logan’s love triangle was first published by the National Enquirer as well.

    Thoughts on the episode...

    Fuck China

    Sean Penn is a moron

    If I lived in the hills outside LA in my multi-million dollar mansion I'd be scared as fuck after seeing that story. I know they said the cougars don't really want to have a confrontation with humans but those things freak me out. They're awesome animals but still they're so confined to that one small area I'd be scared.

    The Sean Penn interview was more than bizarre. I dont even know what he was trying to convey.

    I'm all for animal rights, but can you imagine if your state built that overpass for animals? They didnt go into detail what other animals could use it, but it seems like a massive waste of money.
