Could this possibly be one of the best-looking cars that $146,000 money can currently buy? If just for admiring from 10 paces, the 2007 Sport GT is worth every cent. These cars are still hand-built in Modena, so the niggles that I have about low-rent plastic fixtures and tainted attention to detail should be ignored. Maserati claim that 16 Quattroportes are built per day, so to expect Japanese-level quality control is a waste of your time. Yet the Italian manufacturer has recently invested more than $60m in the plant to address these imperfections. Each car is now meant to receive an extensive visual inspection and a few hours of drive time under their belt before they set sail. Or so they say. There must be a few stragglers that fall to the wayside, avoiding their multimillion-point test check, and an afternoon's jaunt around the Italian countryside.

Just say no to two-tiered TV

This week, in a government building in Gatineau, Que., our federal broadcasting regulator meets to hear arguments from broadcasters, filmmakers, actors, television producers, cable companies and other players in Canada's TV business.

Man suing city files separate suit against county

Let's all say "politically motivated". It seems that more and more, kids of political patrons are more apt to file stupid suits like this because their parents can't get them off of these type of crimes, drinking, drugs, and the likes. If the judge were good, he would throw this out but we all know how this works, let the taxpayers give this idiot drunk more money so he can go out and kill someone the next time.

What if the 'Surge' Works?

In one sense, this second grand Bush plan failure wouldn't be nearly as disastrous as the first--tens of thousands of people wouldn't die. In another sense, it would be worse. We can retreat from Iraq. We won't be able to retreat from the failure of immigration reform--no "surge" will save us--because it will change who "we" are.

NBC--House of Bland CW Hackery: Conor Friedersdorf disputes the "imperious" Tom Brokaw's "indisputable" points about immigration, the residue of Brokaw's recent skiing tri ...sorry, hard-hitting Murrowesque documentary on illegals in, er, Aspen and Vail.
