The biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with in my 30 years in Washington.

new Bugatti Galibier Concept [video+pics]



Automobile as sculpture. The car itself, although lustworthy, is not exactly my idea of perfection. But the video is a object lesson in filming sheetmetal. Sex on wheels, as they say.

Update: A bit of context, from the LA Times:

The question of what Bugatti is going to do with itself once it completes the Veyron's run of 300 cars may have been answered today when [the company] unveiled the concept 16C Galibier. ... With the Veyron's W16 engine turned around and put under the hood, and here fitted with two-stage superchargers (instead of the Veyron's four turbochargers), the Galibier will have ample low-end torque [likely]  between 920 and 1,000 pound-feet of torque. The company is targeting a top speed of 240 mph, which would handily establish the Galibier as the fastest four-door car in the world.

Uglier than you ever thought possible. I mean, fuck, this is some stomach-churning shit.

You know how nerds like to say "oh I just threw up in my mouth"? Well, this is literally making me sick.

We're a Meritocracy, we swear!

Jenna Bush is the newest Today show reporter, have you heard? Over at The Times, a survey of commentary about what our mock-ritocracy says about us as a nation, especially in light of the bullshit outrage over 'affirmative actipn' we're forced to endure any time a woman or minority reaches the top of their field. 

A sample quote: 
Nepotism is part of the problem; media corruption is also part; the total uselessness of the Democratic party and the nihilism of the Republicans doesn't help. But something is rotten in America at this moment in time; and those of us who supported Obama to try and change this decay and decline should use this fall to get off our butts and fight for change.

Cadillac Re-Ignition

Neat visuals, cool messaging. A nice attempt to connect the dots of their new lineup, and build a little anticipation of the new CTS coupe.

However, it lacks the sense of edginess that their Kate Walsh ads always have, or the sense of art and refinement Infiniti and Lexus are able to convey in theirs. Thematically, it is a bit of a cliche to equate a car (or a car lineup) with a rocket launch, isn't it? So in the end, there is a certain sense of being dated - a dangerous association that Cadillac wants to avoid.

A beautifully made film, a fascinating story. Jimmy seems 100% together ... and yet, you wonder, what has led him to such a life?
