Getting Political

“Broken Engagement
” by Gen. Wesley Clark

>We should have pride in our history, confidence in our principles, and take security in the knowledge that we are at the epicenter of a 228-year revolution in the transformation of political systems. But recognizing the power of our values also means understanding their meaning. Freedom and dignity spring from within the human heart. They are not imposed. And inside the human heart is where the impetus for political change must be generated.

Man the Torpedo

So I did it. Yesterday I bought a 2001 Italjet Torpedo 50 2t, and today I got liability insurance and registered with the state, got my plates, got a weather proof cover and it’s awesome. Unfortunately it’s gonna rain tonight so I’ll probably not get to really ride it till tomorrow…

I rode the bike from the lower east side to williamsburg yesterday without tags, a little shady, but now I’m 100 percent legal.

Woohoo. Will post more pics tomorrow.
