I've been trying to digest this for a couple days. Some of it is intuitive; much of it is not.

Trucks are very cyclical to begin with, and 2005-2006 were flagship years as every major fleet bought pre-2007 emissions models. Everyone in the industry knew 2007-2010 were going to be bad, no matter what the general economy did. Also, Paccar a…

54 units max, per the listing. 15-20 SFH vs 54 townhomes is worth $3 million? In a heavily overbuilt market?

Despite Democrats having a healthy advantage in both the House and the Senate, a lot of the newly elected Democrats are from fairly conservative states. Not all are going to go along with some of Pelosi's/Obama's wilder ambitions, because they will…

My area was taken in the first 2 weeks of June.

Just saw this yesterday. Pretty amusing, maybe a bit scary. It would seem that it might make it really easy for, say, car thieves to use it (at least while the data appears to be relatively new).

Other tidbits: 1) Ted Stevens is likely to be reelected. Alaska had nearly 100,000 fewer voters turn out than in 2004. I think I had mentioned earlier that in the event of an Obama landslide, the west coast downticket Democrats might be hurt.…

Markets usually react pretty negatively to Democrats being elected, don't they? Wonder what tomorrow will bring.

The riots on the way home from Bellevue were rough. I made it through, barely. Honestly, this night has really been bizarre. Last year I had a dream (one in your sleep) that I moved back to Indiana and was the election chairman for Hillary …

OK, what the hell... Both Harris (Houston) and Dallas (Dallas/Fort Worth) counties are showing HUGE advantages for Obama... 60/40 in Dallas with 500k votes and 54/45 in Houston with 700k votes. But it still shows 0% reported, so I'm assuming this…

Seems like the big 4 networks are racing to see who can call states the soonest after voting closes (CBS is "winning").

Early results from Indiana coming in. I don't really think McCain will lose this state, but that it's even close... does not bode well for McCain. Some of these counties are as conservative as you can possibly imagine - rural, mostly farming, stro…

Rob, Naked Loon is Tim's Seattle oriented parody site. So all the articles should be Onion-esque.

Add in: 4) Many Democrats have little faith in Gregoire. This was the hardest choice on the ballot for me, and I'm not particularly keen with the choice I made. I would have preferred "throwing away" my vote on someone else (mostly so I cou…
