The prodigal industry

For a little bit of time now I have been warming up to the idea of of socialism instead of capitalism, but am realistic enough to see the flaws in both. Just like everything else, once human's natural imperfections are factored into the equation we are setting ourselves up for disaster. Perhaps not today or this decade or one hundred years, but eventually some failure comes with everything we do. I wish the best to the people of Michigan and the auto workers of America but we've leapt blindly with bare feet all ready onto a slippery slope with the 750 billion dollar bailout for the banking mortgage, executive vacation crisis and we have to put our foot down collectively.
Now, the auto industry wants their piece of our pie. I like the idea of helping our fellow countrymen out. I just see no reason to right now. Everyday you and I drive past, run by, see on the train thousands of car dealership and hundreds of thousands of un-used cars. New ones, used ones, new to you, what ever you want to call them they are there sitting in huge lots where a forest or field or garden once was.
What do they do with all these cars? I know they don't sell all them. If they did they probably wouldn't need any bail out money. They have mega year end sales, but they can't be that much help, because I have never gotten anything but screwed by a car dealer and know few who gotten "a deal" Why y not let them try and sell the cars they have. They are the ones who thought 200,000,000 Americans need a brand new car every year.
I googled what happens to these cars and to be honest I didn't find any good reason they shouldn't be forced to sell all the ones they have all ready over produced. They send some to movies to be blown up, which is no longer necessary with awful CGI. They send some to auctions, or to businesses to shuttle executives around. Some allege sneaky business of changing vin numbers and paneling and call them the next year's model ( that's ALLEGED). Then they "donate" some and use their foolish over production/ spending as a write-off. Because when you make a mistake if you donate it somewhere else it's like it never happened, oh well.
Even still it seems there are thousands "extra" cars out there for sale. Why not hold up production on new cars until all of these other cars are spoken for. I am no genius but 2007 over production + 2008 over production= 4015 overproduction. Over production + under selling= Losing tons of money. That looks right but maybe I am missing something.
Yes that will cost some Michigan natives jobs, but there are other industries. The rest of the country has managed to find jobs in other industries. It is not like making cars is as important farming, banking, clean air and the NFL. The auto industry needs rehab and not just AA it needs full 28 days , white room rehab.
Say you have a kid and that kid is a total dead beat, junkie. He comes to you and says "I need five grand to go to rehab and get fixed up." You have the five grand tucked away, do you just give it to this dumb junkie and let him walk out the door and go to rehab on his own accord? No you don't, unless you are a complete idiot. You would most likely either bring the kid to "rehab" yourself and pay for it yourself and let it be known that this behavior will no longer be tolerated. You will pay for it but with some sort of strict guidelines. Or you just straight up say no.
We have all ready been fleeced with the banking, AIG, Goldman Sachs, executive bonus, mortgage, whatever you want to call it bail out. They have taken their "rehab" check, walked out the door straight to the drug dealer and bought a pile of the finest China. Just in time for a big ass Christmas party. Are we going to enable another industry to walk in and do the same exact thing? The average American hasn't been helped. We don't get to go to spas or golfing and we don't get much help when something catastrophic, unplanned, and unavoidable happens. These executives screwed up, they have let their arrogance and greed put them in a position to fail. It is what people do, it is unavoidable. Sometimes we have to let those that err hit rock bottom and we can't let them drag us down with them. Especially when they have shown no sign they are actually willing to help themselves.
Are we going to allow another group of ego-maniacal, selfish, irresponsible, dickwads the chance to screw us again? There will be some self righteous political pandering and phony tough as nails reprimanding from some douchenozzle senator. Sadly, in the end they will get their bail out because we really have turned into a soft, enabling parent.

weirdness abound

so some weird stuff is going on these days.
An nfl player shot himself in his own leg trying handle a glass of wine, in the latin quarter of NY?. Really, wine plaxico? That is why they say that the wide receiver is a glamour position, you would never see a lineman fumble his piece whilst holding a glass wine.

A woman in Florida invited a homeless man fresh out of jail to stay at her house, after a few drinks and an argument she shot him in the head. ( I tried to add link but I am dumb and can't do it right, there is a link to it on fark.com)
there is not much to say about that, but it happened, all we can do is hope her and her family are why George Bush is president. So why can't we adjust the second amendment again?

Sean Avery said "sloppy seconds" and may get the worst suspension in the history of the league. Meanwhile Claude Lemieux may come back with the San Jose Sharks and Cam Neely is the VP of busted knees and hips. Sticks and Stones doesnot apply to the NHL. But words will always hurt them?

The candidate for VP of the US was in one of the most ironic and hilarious videos of all time: I know you have seen it, it rules gobble gobble, kersplat.

AIG is paying up to a $500,000 (100-300% of their annual salary) retainer fee to keep top executives, yet there have been over 200,000 layoffs in the financial institutions of this country. AIG is giving Americans the finger with one hand and looking for a handout in the other. It must be nice have your cake and smash the rest of it in some poor saps face.
(this doesn't include theresa briggs, she is a good egg and deserves double that, while she is not yet an executive, we hope someday she will be. I am sure would settle for 10% and cake)

Steve Guttenberg is planning to make another Police Academy movie and Three Men and a Little Bride. Hollywood needs a little "change" I think. No word on" Diner 2 the Search for Cleverer Dialogue" or "Cocoon: Ocho"

If A-rod and Skeletor make a baby it's lips would match it's purple skeletor hood.

(beware I am about to steal a joke here, but it is okay, right?)
Did you hear about Elliot Spitzer? He is like a corduroy pillow. That's right he is making headlines. Literally, he is writing headlines for the on-line magazine Slate.

there is more for tomorrow or saturday, I am just getting the juices flowing, plus I have note ssomehwere else I can't find. This was just the obvious stuff.

here's some more for friday...

a teacher in Whit Plains, NY bound two black girls to enlighten the class on some of perils of slavery. The over reaction to some of the racist nonsense in this country disgusts me, but this is different. How fucking dumb can you be? You have to know
that you can't ANY students feet, let alone a black child's. Why not use your own feet as an example if you need to show the class so badly? This teacher should be forced to work cotton fields for free as a punishment. Either that be used for a prison gang rape, you know to enlighten.

OJ is going to jail probably for six years, Meanwhile NIcole and Ron are still doing their " Sleepy Hollow" routine. That's fair.

Their was a report of an obese dog being frozen to the sidewalk overnight in Shboyga,wsconsin, and they didn't even have a picture with the article, not even an artist's rendering, what a let down.

Sorry, I have been slacking

I think I lost my fastball after three weeks, is that pathetic or what?
Hopefully now that thanksgiving is over and a few other issues are resolved I can get back at it. Tomorrow I will have something hopefully it doesn't suck.

How mush Does Dan Dierdorf hate the Patriots?

24 minutes into the Patriots game and this guy could not hate the Patriots more.
He surely loves Troy Polomalua, but has little nice to say about the Patriots, it is awfully strange.
The Patriots just got a first down on a 4th and 1 but for some reason he gives Pittsburgh credit.
I can't tell if it a Steeler love fest or a PAtriot hate fest either way it is incredibly annoying to have to listen to.
I am going to keep track for the rest of the game and report on the the bias for the rest of the game and come up with answer. One thing is for sure Dan dierdorf eats ass


in the end this game ended up no longer being worth any more effort, Dan diedroff still eats donkey dick. maybe next time i will be able to rip him a new ass hole.
