Growing up in Dearborn, MI, aka Ford Country, and having had family, friends, and friends’ family that worked for Ford, Chrysler, and GM, I may be a little biased when it comes to buying and owning American-made vehicles. But I am quite tired of the lousy reasons people give me to justify their purchase of a foreign-made car. Read more...(618 words, 3 images, estimated 2:28 mins reading time)
I just need this quick rant. Diane Reims read a letter a moment ago. It went something like this, in regard to the new Afghan offensive: I think Obama is taking big gamble. Success is fleeting. The solution is not guns and rockets. I think we should buy the opium harvest outright.Read more...(834 words, 3 images, estimated 3:20 mins reading time)
So we got about 24 inches of snow Friday and Saturday. It was something I dreamed of when I was younger. I think we got that kind of snowfall once when I was in school. We had two days off and I spent two days shoveling. I never got to enjoy it fully. Read more...(536 words, 2 images, estimated 2:09 mins reading time)
Overall economic growth doesn’t translate to a better world. We all still need art and music – or so I’ve heard. But – can we all agree that overall economic shrinkage does equate to a worse world – since people will be starving to death and without homes and stuff?

By the Constitution, Congress is given the power to collect taxes and is required to regulate commerce andprovide for the welfare of the people. So regulating health care is certainly an obligation, whether you call it commerce or providing for the welfare of the people. So most of the stuff people have been proposing I don’t see constitutional problems with. Most of the proposals are similar regulations as there are for food safety – like meat inspection.

I’m just kidding. Of course I see a solution. It’s the common government solution. The way they will make a combination of reform ideas work is with hundreds and hundreds of pages of complicated exceptions, concessions, fancy rules, and arbitrary sums – like the cap n/ trade bill. This will result in a thick inefficient bureaucracy, a new area of specialty law, and all kinds of forms and long waits. In other words, the fixes that make reform possible could easily suck up any gains the reform its self made. Read more...(514 words, 3 images, estimated 2:03 mins reading time)
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.

Well let’s start with the actual reasons for the planes. They are for high level Air Force and Washington officials. Three of them are replacements for three retired planes and the forth one, well, someone less than politically savvy decided we needed to add it (probably for the furiously growing number of officials in Washington).Read more...(477 words, 2 images, estimated 1:54 mins reading time)
