I’ve been keeping you all abreast of what’s going on in the car industry for about a year now. Well, 2009, Ford showed a $2.7Billion Profit WITHOUT TAKING GOVERNMENT BAILOUTS…while GM and Chrysler continued to sink even after their government bailouts and the cash for clunkers program.
Not only that but FORD is ADDING jobs to their rolls in the coming months. GM and Chrysler are NOT.
Ford has done a BANG UP JOB in 2009 and I’m glad they are succeeding.
Read the articles, then tell your friends to BUY FORD, BUY FORD, BUY FORD!

Hollywood Hypocrisy (final Edition)
In all the hoopla of the last few days, did anyone else notice that the Chinese Government pulled the movie “AVATAR” out of many Chinese theaters?
The official line from Chinese Authorities is that “AVATAR” was taking up too much market share, and a biopic about Chairman Mao needed to be shown.
In my opinion, the real problem is that the movie shows the forced removal of indigenous peoples, a military industrial complex that runs a state by fear and restriction of information and the natural will of oppressed people to resist such brutal tactics from a government that uses those tactics. The Chinese government fears a movie like this might incite the population to rally against the government. The government is afraid that it shows too much of THEIR true character to the people and were forced to remove it from theaters or risk an unsettled populace.
But that’s old news. The Chinese do that kind of stuff all the time.
No, I’d like to point out the fact that I haven’t heard ONE WORD from the Hollywood left about this. Not ONE WORD has come from Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Barbra Streisand, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, or even James Cameron himself talking about the Chinese government’s censorship over an arguably masterful film full of social commentary.
If the Hollywood Leftist Elites believed their own hype as deeply as they claim to do, if they believe in that (straight from Hollywood) line they vomit all the time about not agreeing “with what you say but defending to the death your right to say it”, then why hasn’t anyone in Hollywood, including James Cameron or the movie’s distributors called for the COMPLETE REMOVAL of the movie from EVERY THEATER in China?
Has Hollywood lost its will to fight for “Free Speech”?
Nah…that can’t be it, they are free speech's (self proclaimed) greatest champion.
It must be because the Hollywood support of communism/socialism conflicts with their much ballyhooed moral outrage over censorship.
Or it could be that they are closet capitalists seeking to earn the money that can be gained from the world’s fastest growing economy while downing American corporate capitalism.
Either way Hollywood…beware ….your hypocrisy is showing.

An Apology
I would like to apologize for that last post (now deleted). The thinking was convoluted to say the least. I will redraft it and try to get it to make more sense.
Thanks,

The Massholes Get Something Right!
I’m glad Scott Brown won.
As a former resident of the Commonwealth I can unequivocally say it’s about time. After almost 60 years of that seat belonging to a Kennedy, it’s nice to see the Massholes do something right for a change.
Massachusetts was founded on rebel principles. It was founded because people were tired of the same old same old from governments and kings. It was founded because they believed that the rights of man were God given, not government given. It was leaders like Samuel Adams, John Adams, Paul Revere and the Sons of Liberty who first stood up to a government taxing the people to death for its own ends and its own gains. I was beginning to think they had forgotten that tradition.
Yesterday took a big step towards my believing in revolutionary Mass again. They elected a man who is different than what they’ve had. A man who will (hopefully) put the rights of the individual back on center stage in this country. A man who will not bow to the pressures of liberal democrats and their left wing agenda. A man who was not a Kennedy.
Scott Brown has a HUGE opportunity to show Massachusetts at its revolutionary best. To paraphrase another Kennedy, “Ask not what Brown can do for you, but what Brown can do for your country”.
Don’t let us down Scott!

Stimulus Update #2
An update to my question about whether anyone else on the left would admit that the stimulus money for road projects hadn't really done anything of note.
The White House did...well sort of...read it here.

Stimulus Money For Roads, Doesn't Affect Unemployment.
Almost a year after Obama’s promise of new jobs being formed by government spending on roads and highways, the Associated Press has found that the money has done NOTHING to help unemployment.
Okay…so if EVEN the Associated Press has found it out…why can’t the White House admit it?
