I was just listening to BBC. It’s a good thing to do every other day or so. You get a clean outside perspective. They were describing the Cash for Clunkers program. LOL Just the way they dryly described it made it sound so totally stupid. The British accent “Cash for Clunkers,” then talking about the $4500 subsidy for buying a new car, how the dealers didn’t get the money up front so are crippled cash flow wise, how the program is so backed up, how it was so popular the whole 2 billion – or whatever – was used up in the first 48 hours, and how it effectively is causing people to “reschedule” their purchases. And the best part was summarizing the story by calling the Cash for Clunkers an indicator of how effective Obama’s philosophy of buying one’s self into prosperity will be.
I just imagine some English guys sitting in front of their pints listening to this. “Bloody hell, Cash for Clunkers is it? The dog’s bollox, that one. I’ll give you this clunker right here – gestures to his mate – for $4500. Thought they was broke – they was? Like to be that bloke on a good day – Father Christmas and all that.”
Senator Ryan was just saying that the opposition to the health reform bill
isn’t because people are reading the bill – because there isn’t a bill yet to read. He wants people to wait until the bill actually gets written before they start getting upset about it. Yeah right buddy. Why don’t you guys write the bill before you send the President out selling it for three months? Or maybe coach Obama on a general approach so he stops grossly contradicting himself in the same paragraph. I agree with John Stewart on this one: The Dems couldn’t sell Eskimos shit they actually need.
And what is this I keep hearing about a survey of Americans showing a majority not thinking the war in Afghanistan is worth “it”? Are people bag-of-door-knobs stupid?
