There has to be something done about the Somali pirates that are acting like pit bulls on crack. In the last two days they have commandeered two Middle-Eastern ships ( over 80 ships attacked this year) with one laden with a million barrels of Saudi oil. An Indian Navy warship sunk a pirate "mother-ship" today while patrolling the vast waters off the Somali coast. Way to go Indians! These pirates are on track to steal over $50 million in ransom this year alone. If I was the owner of Blackwater Worldwide, I would be contacting every maritime agency that I could find and offer my services.
It has been reported that the "union" bailout will not be forthcoming for the Big three automakers. Thank God! Giving American automakers $25 Billion will not cure the problem that they face. The problem that they face is unions and unrealistic regulations from Washington. How long does it take the Japanese automaker to go from making, say, an SUV to a different model of car — on the same line in the same assembly plant? A stunning 5 minutes, according to a Wall Street Journal report. And how much does it cost? Absolutely nothing. By comparison, it takes Ford a whopping 13 months and a staggering $75 million to make a similar change at one plant. Let them go chapter 7 and let a judge make them re-negotiate the union contracts.
President-elect Obama's message of "change" is starting to look like the retread Clinton Administration. Thirty one of the forty seven people named in the Obama administration served in the Clinton Administration. Eric Holder (Attorney General designate) served Bill Clinton and was involved with the pardon of Mark Rich and the 16 F.A.L.N. terrorists. There are more Clintonistas to come, thank God that you voted for change.
For all of you that are afflicted with Bush-Derangement Syndrome, get on your knees and pray to what ever god you worship (Global Warming-Socialism) and thank him/her or transgender for giving us President George Bush for protecting us against Muslims that want to kill us. I know that President Bush is just an ignorant hick from Texas (trained fighter pilot, only Pres. W/MBA) but he has kept you safe since Sept 11, 2001. Gird your loins, it is now going to get a bit rough.

I loved that the auto CEOs were asked if they'd sell their private jets. The look on their faces was priceless. They don't deserve our help.
ReplyDeleteAnd for the employees who may be laid off, hey, I feel for anyone without a job -- but if you're making $50+/hourly, it doesn't really have the same effect on you as it would the guy laid off from his $7/hourly job.
And I am thankful for Bush as well. I didn't agree with every one of his moves as pres, but the fact we've been safe for years speaks volumes.
It's a shame that according to the loonies, terrorists are done attacking us and we can all live in peace now. As soon as Obama asks them politely to stop, we can cut out our defense budget and build a welcome center for illegal Mexicans.
Boy, I can't wait :)
