Nintendo Wii Guitar Hero World Tour Complete Band Kit

So, I unexpectedly received 38 GH:WT band kits in the "mail" today. I had ordered 40, but told my contact I only really wanted 10. Well, I got my 40 :-/ (2 had come earlier.)

In any case, I'm selling these for slightly less than what you would get (after taxes) at Wal-mart or anywhere else: $200.00. Contact me, call me, however, if you are interested.

This is the complete band kit. You get the following:
  1. The game disk (which comes with over 30 songs, online play, and the ability to expand your collection through online downloads)
  2. The guitar, with strap
  3. The drum kit (3 pads, 2 hats, pedal, 2 drum sticks)
  4. Microphone
  5. Stickers to personalize your items
Note, in order to take full advantage, you need 3 Wii-motes (one for each instrument).

Top Gear

For those of you who don't know what Top Gear is, it is a British car review show. They review all sorts of cars from your basic everyday car like a Ford, Toyota, or Honda to the completely exotic like the Lamborghini, Aston Martin, BMW,e tc . The two hosts of the show are very comfortable driving at speeds of 120MPH, they finally start to concentrate on their driving above this point. They're also very skilled at all the drifting, sliding, or whatever in any type of car. They make their reviews really entertaining even for the mundane cars.

So, I present their review on a mundane car: The Ford Fiesta (it gets even better after 3.5 minutes)

Great Quote

I just saw a great quote attributed to Winston Churchill:
"You don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer."

In searching for verification of the quote, I came upon this site: http://www.jeffersonreview.com. It has some correct ideas from some of the blurbs I read on its front page. And, as it happens, Jefferson is referring to Jefferson County, Kentucky. I also found another link on that page: http://www.bipps.org that bills itself as the "Bluegrass Institute, Kentucky’s free-market think tank."
