Honda is riding into the red. Toyota is expected to post an operating loss for the year. They have even indefinitely put a hold plans for completing a new plant that was to build the much hearalded Prius. You know, the car that has been mentioned constantly by Congressmen touting how the Big 3 is [...]

No, I do mean the Big 3. I am talking about the States that are so dead set against a loan for the Big 3, but yet want to use subsidies to try to entice foreign automakers to open plants in their State. These are the very same States that need to TAKE more than [...]

People (some people anyway) wonder why Bush is so despised by so many. I don’t think any example could make it any more clear than this one. OK, fine he is on a “legacy fixing tour” trying to polish up his Hoover-esque approval. That is understandable to a certain degree. Virtually every President does it, [...]

Just how clueless is the GOP when the Bush administration realizes how bad becoming “The Hoover Party” is, and how their union busting efforts which could sink us into another Great Depression, but yet the wingnuts in the Senate are still more worried about busting unions and protecting foreign autoworkers in their own States?

I guess that is the strategy our Lame-Duck-In-Chief has in mind with the midnight order that is planned that would keep the EPA from having to come up with orders to rid drinking water of a toxic rocket fuel ingredient that has fouled public water supplies around the country. It is not bad enough I [...]

The arrest yesterday of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich showed us something that has been completely overlooked so far that should be of interest to all those wingnuts that supported the Bush administration and their illegal wiretapping. According to the story (emphasis added) A 76-page FBI affidavit said the 51-year-old Democrat was intercepted on court-authorized wiretaps [...]

Need more proof that the refusal to loan money (as opposed to giving it to Wall Street) is steeped in union busting and that the “they don’t make good cars” line is all rhetoric? Well, all you have to do is look at November’s auto sales numbers, where you see that U.S. auto sales sink [...]

No, not Joe The Plumber, but grateful Joe Lieberman. Joe, since your were allowed to keep your chairmanship on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and since you are such warm friends with President Bush, what do you say you take a stroll over there and speak to him about why Congress hasn’t seen (or ahem [...]

George W. Bush appears to be banking on President-Elect Obama and the Democrats repairing his legacy somewhat by allowing torture to not be prosecuted. And make no mistake about it, by convening a “commission” to look into the matter is doing just that. This I believe is a big mistake. Oh, I don’t really care [...]

I was understanding (probably more than most) about why the Democrats would want to keep Joe Lieberman in the caucus and not just toss him overboard. But much like Michelle Bachmann, apparently Joe doesn’t understand the power of video and audio tape and just because you want to claim you never said something, that doesn’t [...]
