If you had Jane FOnda in the vehicle you could run a sterling Cycle engine....She has enough hot air to be a formitible alternative energy souce all on her own.

Who cares? People get too caught up in famous people now. Jude Law sleeps with his child's nanny, Jane Fonda opposes the war, that guy likes going on Oprah and jumping on her couch (I'm glad I forgot his name). So what? If it doesn't affect me directly, or involve me getting a free E320 CDI, I don't care.

Prompted by a question from the audience, Fonda said war veterans that she has met on a nationwide book tour have encouraged her to break her silence on the Iraq war.
…except the vet that spit in her face...I don't think he was itching for more Hanoi Jane hot treason action.

This belongs in Open Forum.

Nothing here related to MB diesels and maintenance. (Some of us were serving when HJ pulled her stunt.)

I'll bet she doesn't put her retoric to practice....she will whine about Iraq from the saftey of liberal land on the left coast....and not take her protest tour to Iraq...unescorted of course.
