Everything has to be perfect for everyone at all times in perpetuity at no cost or obligation for free without fail always.

Some spooky stuff right here....

"Baaarraaccckkk Ooobbaaammmaaa!".

(shiver)

These people are so removed from reality, it is frightening. I don't want people like this anywhere near me. I think they are dangerous. Especially when disappointed.

(Just think about how these morons are going to react when their toys get taken away in a few months. The market WILL correct itself at some point.)

For a good time...

Tweet of the day

One of most despicable yet glorious stories in the history of commerce.

We saw this same cherry picking crap at the RNC by the liberals. Interview a few hundred people with an extreme question and air the 10 or 15 stupidest responses, then present to the viewing audience that this is their prevailing opinion.

Eric - check out my link.

That crowd is NUTs.

People are entitled to their wacky opinions all day long - but those who wish to force others (via government, religious institution, mafia, laws, legislation....) to do as they wish are sick in the head and on a power trip. These people are usually not living in reality. And their opinions seem to bring up a glaring pattern. It's all about control.

The difference in ideology between most liberals and conservatives is the beliefs held by conservatives (however flawed at times) are usually ones that are not based in envy or require that the individual be beholden to someone elses good will or generosity to pick them up by their own bootstraps. Both envy and submission to others gives a person no recourse to control their own situation - so they feel like victims and believe the answer is then to control others (to make them feel powerful once again).

This is mental illness.

These people are not right in the head.

It's all about Control....

Granholm's a bigger idiot than I thought.

I loved the imagery of the woman waving a Ford placard in front of her as she talked about "Baaarraaaack Oooobaaaamaaa" saving the "entire" auto industry with a bailout - since Ford didn't take the government's bailout (er ... takeover) offer.

And I wonder how the non-unionized employees at Delphi feel about Obama saving the "entire" auto industry since Obama's bailout arbitrarily wiped out their pensions.

And I wonder how the Chrysler bond holders feel about it, now that they've been completely disenfranchised and Chrysler has been essentially given to Fiat. How does giving an American automobile company to an Italian company "save" the American auto industry?

Interseting article crid, what part about it do you find despicable?

Without seeing the wording of the original contract it seem obvious to me that they should win as the deal hinges on broadcast revenues and doesnt specify what format said broadcasting takes place in

Conan -

Or how about all those auto dealers(hips) put out of business and their inventory confiscated from them without just compensation?

Ugh.

Feebie,

I'm not so sure about "inventory confiscated".

Unless you do the standard Federal trickery of calling lost opportunity, or a reduction of future prospective earning a "cut", there isn't much of an inventory loss. Banks "own" a dealer's inventory, don't they?

Of course, the business is halted, but it existed at the whim of the manufacturer anyway.

There is nothing whatsoever that guarantees income, even from a long-lasting relationship. If it did, candle makers could sue GE for making light bulbs and putting them out of business.

Radwaste,

Automobile dealers purchase their new car inventory from the manufacturer. Having it confiscated without compensation is not an opportunity cost.

Paragraph of the day:

"Republicans shut me out of a hearing on contraception," Ms. Fluke said. But why would anyone have included a Georgetown law student who never worked her way onto the national stage until she was plucked, by the left, as a personable victim? What a fabulously confident and ingenuous-seeming political narcissist Ms. Fluke is. She really does think—and her party apparently thinks—that in a spending crisis with trillions in debt and many in need, in a nation in existential doubt as to its standing and purpose, in a time when parents struggle to buy the good sneakers for the kids so they're not embarrassed at school . . . that in that nation the great issue of the day, and the appropriate focus of our concern, is making other people pay for her birth-control pills. That's not a stand, it's a non sequitur. She is not, as Rush Limbaugh oafishly, bullyingly said, a slut. She is a ninny, a narcissist and a fool.

Conan, that sounds strange for two reasons.

If the dealer actually owned the inventory, then taking it is theft, not confiscation.

The Pontiac dealer I worked for had a 45-day note on his cars. That was 1979.
