Gathering that kind of information over the ‘Net is an invitation to abuse and hacking.

Remember that Congress encouraged this garbage with a “business” tax break for buying these fuel hogs.

Now would be a great time to get tourists to spend money since the dollar is sinking. But no, we scare them away.

Yes, GM is closing 4 truck plants and possibly selling the Hummer line. I guess congrats are in order to those at GM for finally taking their heads out of their asses and realizing that humongous gas-guzzlers are dead. Perhaps they should have sold Hummer three years ago when it was a status symbol instead of a joke. Yes, some of us do laugh when we see them rumbling down the mean streets of … a subdivision!

The Department of Homeland Security – an idea by Joe LIEberman, adopted and distorted by the Hedgemony – what could go wrong?

Yes, Kryten, if they wanted US airlines out of the international travel market, they are certainly succeeding. I have relatives who routinely fly overseas, but they start and end in Mexico because of all the crap at US airports, and I know that some carriers already advertise international flights that do not cross the US.

GM, as usual, is about 5 years behind the curve, which is why Toyota is kicking their butts with cars made in the US by US workers. Makes you wonder.

I see GM don’t believe the agitprop from the Gov BTW. Apparently they have (or are about to?) decided to stop producing hummers and other big vehicles in favor of new smaller cars and even a new hybrid. 🙂 Possibly a tad late, but perhaps not. I guess this will make GM a liberal company now? LOL Will be a LOT of pissed rich redneck wannabe’s around! LOL
