High Cost Domestic Cars Must End

They cite National Security as a reason to save the big three. Leftists denounce Republicans for NOT saving Capitalists… topsy Turvy, Cambalache!!!! Craziness… Passenger cars can be built by the Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Germans, Swedes… I do not care. Quality, a good price is what I need. National Security? Let GM build the Humvees that get blown up because the lack bottom armor. No big deal, specialize, I said it before. It is a good thing. I will not pay for UAW bloated hourly wages just so they can keep these jobs. Efficiency will bring better cars.

Why do we not have Green Cars? Why? Is it just the stupid ass executives fault? American Motors died owing to worker intransigence, will it happen again? Will it be the Tri-fecta?

Pocky-Stan Still Needs To Deliver

So Pakistanis have delivered some middle level combatant from the Lakshar Ola Homicidal group that massacred hundreds of innocents in Mumbai but really failed to anything else. The fact that Pakistan has nuclear capability is already an issue. They have been openly duplicitous on the Afghani border. If you really focus and think about it, Pakistan is a double agent working with the US. The Indians have every right to mistrust them – they are not going to get rid of A-Qaeda or Lakshar or any other militant groups anytime soon. It is apparent that the  Pakistani officials and military are beholden monetarily to terrorist interests.

I certainly hope that the fire they play with will burn them. And then that they burn in hell (or what ever version they might believe in or should choose to believe in).

Illinois – Land of Lincoln or Land of Corruption?

Arrogant, Stupid, Pitiful, Bad Haircut – Governor Rod Blagojevich has shown what many of his fellow Illini pols are made of. The FBI officer made a comment about IL being if not the most corrupt state in the Union, a strong competitor.

Why did it take so long to clean up? Why are there others he is aware of? (arrest them!) How many more scandals can we expect Mr. FBI?

First ex-Governor Spitzer and now this clown. Arrogant (oh, I said that) and vindictive. This man will go down in history with many epithets, his greed and drunken ambition did him in. Perhaps he thought he was above wire taps and other crude surveillance techniques? Selling a Senate seat…. just begs to ask: How many have been bought?

Will Caroline Kennedy be given Hillary’s seat just because? How is she more qualified than Fran Drescher? Really, she is just a Kennedy, many of them drunkards, philanderers and some great statesmen. Is she buying the seat?

Time to clean up America my friends. These guys belong in Venezuela as supporters of the Chavez regime along with mediocrity abettors Sean Penn and Danny Glover. Perhaps banishment to Cuba for corrupt pols is a better punishment. Screw them all.

Bookies and your Stock Broker, What is the Difference???

Bookies and oddsmakers do not really undergo training that provides them a certification, they learn to analyze odds based the many transactions they have engaged on very human factors – injuries of a key player, ability to play in a snowstorm, etc… A Broker undergoes trainings that are required by the SEC and sometimes their employer if they happen to work for an “investment house”.

The differences aren’t much except that gambling is “illegal” in many states when it comes to betting on Sports, events, etc and “investing” is allowed in every state of the Union. I would be curious to know the return rates for somebody that actually had an investment account vs somebody that had a betting account. Both expenditures are not guaranteed, one has a veneer of sophistication, the other that of shadiness. The economic downturn has exposed many charlatans in the financial industry while fueling others. Our bailout is in the hands of glorified bookies trained by Goldman Sachs, but with the way the system was built, they are still perceived by many to be above the operations in Vegas or Atlantic City. Now let me ask you something, who is in the black?

Is it really that different?

Estampas de Mediocridad – Mediocrity’s Watermark: Hugo Chavez

Venezuelan Clown, Hugo Chavez has once again sunken to depths unimaginable. He should have a nickname like Submarine to justify his muckraking classless personality. He made no mention of the attacks in Mumbai this past week and of course made no effort to denounce terrorism.

Mr. Chavez would hardly have the moral backing to do so given his outright financial and tactical support of the FARC terrorists in Colombia. On the other hand, Dmitry Medvedev who was with Mr. Chavez visiting about nuclear power and showing their toothless grins to the world did take the time to denounce the barbaric actions.
