Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Ugh. It's a $320 fix.

But I checked with EM's BF (who owns his own mechanic business - but they specialize in big rigs and they're a county away, so he can't do the car). He said that fixing the o-ring in the thermostat housing is the cheapest fix for this problem, barring a loose hose from the coolant tank.

Price is a little steep because it's placed behind the A/C unit and they have to pull that entirely out to get at the thermostat. (Stupid stupid Chrysler design! God your designers suck in so many ways it would take me an hour to recite your failings!)

Being a good guy, EM's BF is going to swing by the shop and talk mechanic-to-mechanic. Thus ensuring some small measure of not-being-hosed.

Good luck with your car, David!

I just saw the best comment about Joe the Plumber over at TWOP--someone called him "the Kato Kaelin of the McCain campaign." Perfect!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Today, McCain was giving a speech, and he called on Joe the Plumber to stand up and... wave to the crowd, or something. But Joe wasn't there, and McCain stood there looking confused for a moment....

Sarah Palin/Joe the Plumber 2012!

Of course, if Obama wins, Joe will have to explain how come Israel wasn't destroyed like he said it would be....

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

EM's BF is definitely a standup guy, then.

Oh yeah, he's a toal mensch. He kind of dotes on Matilda too. (He's got two boys.)

Ugh.
