What A Bunch Of Southernist BS About Boeing And SC »

As some of you know, here in South Carolina, we have been under siege by the NLRB, which is attacking Boeing for moving its DreamLiner series to North Charleston. Since we already had the DreamLifter here, it wasn’t exactly an “out of the clear blue sky” kind of move. That hasn’t had an impact on [...]

President Obama Wants YOU to Make Hard Choices »

President Obama made a visit to Ottumwa, Iowa Wednesday. As reported by Jake Tapper on ABC’s Political Punch: “We’re going to have to make some tough choices” about the deficit and national debt, President Obama said to a crowded gymnasium full of supporters at Indian Hills Community College, after a lengthy riff on how the [...]

Tone Deaf Obama: “The Show Must Go On!” »

Or so it seems since Obama, despite all of the Town Halls, all of the polls (here’s one), the Tea Party protests, all of it, is going on with his huge push for his Healthcare bill, and it is most definitely his. Even in the face of mounting opposition within his own party, and even [...]

“Tens of Thousands” »

Yes, more numbers to report to you you today. “Tens of Thousands” is the phrase the Washington Post and The New York Times used to describe the numbers of people marching on Washington yesterday, voicing their concerns over the rampant spending by Congress. “Tens of thousands” has apparently become a euphemism for 1.2 – 2 [...]

Lessons Not Learned »

It’s not just Republicans who are upset about Charlie Rangel’s rampant hypocrisy, as I reported recently (“Oh, Charlie“), but any American who works hard, pays his/her taxes, and follows the rules. Oh, and obeys the tax laws even though they haven’t WRITTEN any of them. Rangel cannot say the same, and pressure continues to increase [...]

Bill Maher Complains About Obama – Chicken Little, The Sky Has Truly Fallen [Updated with Video] »

Much as I hate giving Bill Maher press, I just can’t help myself. His article, Enough with the Obamathon, appearing in the Friday LA Times, lets us share our first up close and personal glimpse of Mr. Maher’s head exploding as he exhibits growing irritation with his messiah…: President Obama should just join the cast [...]

GM: General Motors, Government Motors, or Going, Going, Gone Motors? »

What will the future hold for GM? I believe there are three potential scenarios, with likely overlap in the short run but less overlap over the long haul. Let’s see if the real GM is behind: Door #1: A Revitalized and Profitable General Motors Behind this door, for GM to be a viable entity they [...]

GM: A Question of Trust »

“Trust me.” Have you ever walked away from a discussion with a person–be it a boss, a business associate, a prospective partner–in which you wondered why they felt the need to make that statement? In regard to trust, I feel much more comfortable when others assert, “you can trust him” rather than an individual asserting, [...]

Thank Heavens There’s ONE Grown-up In The Room… »

That’s what the Germans seem to think of Secretary Clinton, anyway. It seems they are asking her to help deal with the GM mess as it relates to them, according to this article (H/T to Ani for alerting me to this). Why, you might ask? Because it affects them, too, in a big way. You [...]

What? An ACORN Spokesman Lied?? And Justice Not Served… »

Hell to the yes, he did. You want to guess about what he lied? The Census and ACORN workers, that is. Oh yeah – our fears come true:

Congratulations, Comrades and Comradesses! You are Proud Owners of Government Motors! »

Susan’s Note: I did not write this story. I posted it on behalf of Uppity Woman and forgot to change the author name. Thankfully, Uppity Woman is kind about my being absent-minded. Please thank Uppity for this story! Congratulations, Comrades and Comradesses!! Your government is about to become the proud owner of a company that [...]

Payback’s A Bitch »

The other day, a friend asked me if it was really so bad for the government to run a corporation, and added that they do some of that over in Britain. My answer was, “Yes, yes it is.” For a whole host of reasons of which I can think (and feel free to add your [...]

Obama, GM, And The UAW »

I saw the following video Tuesday morning, and could scarcely believe my eyes:

You’re Ahead In A Ford All The Way »

Ford passed Toyota to become the No. 2 car seller in the U.S. in April of this year. See the UPDATE at end of story. *You’re Ahead In A Ford All The Way – Ford Ad slogan 1950s-60s. Ford, the American carmaker most likely to survive the auto implosion without going bankrupt or taking government [...]

Taking A Break ** Open Thread ** »

This past week has been a bit up and down. NH and Maine passed same sex marriage laws – YAY! And we find out more gay and lesbian soldiers have been kicked out of the military – BOO. Obama continues to morph into Bush, as I have noted on numerous occasions, but most recently based [...]
