to the Weekly Notes 2008 Archives GM: They are bleeding money.
They achieved the dubious distinction of loosing almost 16 billion in the
last quarter. One can wonder how long they can continue to limp along with a
wound of that size. I would think sooner or later their whole gut would fall
through the hole. Wagoner as always spoke glowingly about future sales and
profits. It seems he has his whole wad bet on that kludge they call the volt.
He says it uses electricity and is much cleaner. He called it an alternative
fuel. Where the heck does he think electricity comes from? Someone ought to
tell him most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuel. For some
reason, he thinks a lot of people are going to buy the Volt. I don’t.
Even if they did, our power grid cannot sustain the constant drain of a few
million cars plugged in. Electricity prices would skyrocket and Wagoner would
have a few million ticked off customers with white elephants in their
garages. It is clear that GM needs new management, as does Ford and Chrysler. The FBI: They did it again. They
have managed to hound a man to death with their phony investigations. They
are still fishing for the Anthrax mailer. In the process, they started to
investigate Bruce Ivins. He was made of less stern stuff than their first
victim, Steven Hatfield. Hatfield came through it with some bad wounds, but
he survived. Ivins finally committed suicide. The FBI is not even
embarrassed. They are swearing they have proved him guilty. I ask, to whose
satisfaction, mine or theirs? They had a big time press conference to present
their circumstantial evidence. Then, they said, the case is closed. I’m
sure everyone believed them. The Country is Safe: At least we are safe for
five weeks. The Senate and Congress went into a five-week recess. They cannot
do any damage for a while. Old Guy: I am 77 years old. I get
a prostrate check once per year to test for cancer and whatever. Now the
wisdom from the white towers of medicine and government say that test should
be stopped for people over 75. I knew it would come sooner or later. Old
farts like me are a liability. It’s a pain to take care of us. Heck, we
are going to die anyway. Why bother with us. Let us prey! War Hero: I am fed up with this
war hero pretense. A lot of people are war heroes. Some were captured, some
were wounded, and some were just traumatized. I never met anyone in Katrina: After that disaster,
some woman took five kids and took care of them for several years. Now the
mother (Where was she?) has charged the caring woman with kidnapping. Of
course, the FBI went right along with the crap. They arrested the woman and
took the kids out of a good home. They stuck them in some kind of protective
services. Isn’t that great for the kids? Double duh! I repeat what I
have said previously. The FBI should be disbanded. They do nothing but harm.
The woman is indeed a Good Samaritan and the FBI agents are criminals. They were not satisfied
with hounding Ivins to death. They were not satisfied with ruining the life
of the little fat guy in Kilpatrick: The sky is finally
falling on A long time ago a nut
named Colman Young was the mayor of Meanwhile After the Fact: The media has a big
story, in their own eyes. It seems John Edwards had an affair with one of his
assistants. He confessed to ABC News. Now they are making it a banner affair
of the media. So what? This guy lost out, he is out of everything. His wife
is deathly ill. Now is not a good time to hound him, but hound him they will
until they find another victim. Are the any better than the paparazzi or the
FBI? How? Back
