Obama The Car Salesman Leads Government Motors

And once again, the headlines and copy scream out micromanagement and inexperience in the executive branch of the government.  Barack Obama the neophyte regulator, comes to America’s “rescue” with a socialist agenda. 

A ‘Truly Breathtaking’ Departure – Has Obama officially ushered in a new era of government-controlled business?

Team Obama fired GM CEO Rick Wagoner Sunday afternoon, just a short time after Treasury man Tim Geithner told the television talk shows that some banks will need large amounts of new TARP-money government assistance – even though the bankers don’t want it. Does this smack of big-time government planning and industrial policy? Another lurch to the left for economic policy?

Yes, Obama is telling the auto folks just how to run their business, as a condition of bailing them out.  Auto Dealers Fight To Stay On The Map – White House Pressures General Motors To Shed Dealers, Who Are Already Hurting Thanks To Recession And Skittish Consumers.  Better hope it isn’t your job Obama is suggesting get axed.  Wait.  Where is the bail out for those pending pink slips?

Fine Moments In American Leadership

Dressed in fine threads, yet so completely out of touch with reality.  The hope is that everyone will look past their words and just see a suit amongst a backdrop of patriotic duty.

Iowa Hawk brings us a hit parade of hypocrisy and posturing on the part of our dearly elected potiticians.  Those who “lead.”  Their goal however, is self preservation.  Of sorts.

From QFN.  Neutral. 

The Obama Deception.

A video must see.  Sit back and pay attention.  Explanations of complex issues.  Searing revelations.

Cock Crowing Ring Tone

Ever wish you had a really distinguishing ring tone for your cellular telephone, that would be recognizable when it goes off in the sea of other phones?  Something to set you apart?

Or better yet, a ring tone to plant on your best buddy’s phone, to go off at the most inopportune time?  

Consider this cock crowing.  Wondrous memories of the trips down to the farm.  Awakening at the crack of dawn.  To nature’s alarm.

Bear Pole Dancing

Awesome what a motion sensored video camera can capture when triggered by wildlife just doing its thing.

Yeah!  Get down on it!  Click for the musical version embedded and the silent version.

Comedic Airplane Pilots

Monty Python brings us a little humor from the cockpit.  The thoughts of pilots burdened with workplace ennui?  The clever satire remains fresh today.

From Monty Python. If I were ever an airline pilot I would be really tempted to try this…

Another way of looking at America these days.  The poignant words of a philosopher that far preceded today’s happenings.  The words ring true today.  Bishop Fulton J. Sheen.

Cretin Award Goes To Dallas Police Officer Who Detained NFL Player As Relative Died

The Dallas Morning News brings us the recipient of today’s Cretin Award.  Recall, “Cretin” is defined as “a stupid, obtuse, or mentally defective person,” and as as such, forms the basis for the award given to the person, people, or situation that exemplifies those qualities best.

Congratulations Dallas Officer Robert Powell.  For taking away a family’s last opportunity to be with their dying mother/mother-in-law.  We know you are a young 25-years old, married, with an infant at home.  But your inexperience with the ways of the world came into severe juxtaposition with your by-the-book policeman training, and sorely near sighted youthful poor judgment. Pulling your gun on distraught people in a hospital parking lot?  Your video taped behavior, is that becoming of a police officer? 

“I can screw you over,” he said at one point in the videotaped incident. When another officer came with word that Moats’ mother-in-law was indeed dying, Powell’s response was: “All right. I’m almost done.”

Scooter Does Traffic

Look out!  It may not be enough to be on the ever vigilant watch for pedestrians, cyclists, other automobiles, or even emergency vehicles, as you maneuver the great roadways of America.

The cautious eye will now have to be on the watch for  scooter-ized citizens at the next traffic light, stop sign, or fast food drive through lane.  The electric mobiles, designed to facilitate transport for the ambulatory impaired, may be just around the corner or your blind spot.

The serious scooter enthusiast may even have his or her scooter decked out with accouterments to facilitate the transportation experience, perhaps even to personalize the four wheeled baby.  Click the image to check out the turn signal lights.  Is the left one flashing?
