I'm a big fan of Colbert. I saw this show and it was a hoot. The guest was a congressman from Georgia who sponsored a bill to endorse the Ten Commandments. "Only on The Colbert Report: Westmoreland co-sponsors bill on the Ten Commandments and can't even name them Colbert was priceless last night. His guest was Republican Congressman Lynn Westmoreland and I guess he never heard of The Colbert Report before. He will now. Video-WMP Video-QT (rough transcript) Colbert: You have not introduced a single piece of legislation since you entered Congress. Westmoreland: That's correct. Colbert: This has been called a do nothing Congress. Is it safe to say you're the do nothingest? Westmoreland: I, I, ..Well there's one other do nothiner. I don't know who that is, but they're a Democrat. Colbert: What can we get rid of to balance the budget? Westmoreland: The Dept. of Education. Colbert: What are the Ten Commandments? Westmoreland: You mean all of them?--Um... Don't murder. Don't lie. Don't steal Um... I can't name them all. emailer Ruth asks: Does this guy deserve a $3,300 pay raise? The guy co-sponsors a bill about the Ten Commandments and doesn't even know them. Priceless. " crooksandliars.com

I drove Accords for twelve years--three different. The center piece was a weekly 180 mile commute to work at the beginning of the week and back at the end of the week. Routinely put 500+ miles a week on the car. Compared to the Camry which we bought in 95, the Accords were much more fun to drive. Very durable; two of the three are still on the road. I moved to the Camry when they were sufficiently improved on the road noise front to be better than the Accord.
