    GM’s Bankruptcy

    Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

    The system is so unbelievably broken…and I do not mean the economic downturn, I mean the system that got us here.
    GM and Chrysler have spent months paring their vehicle production levels, closing plants and shrinking their workforces. But their biggest challenges have been trying to secure ample labor cost concessions from the United Auto Workers [...]

    Spain to Try Americans for Torture?

    Saturday, March 28th, 2009

    What a joke:
    A Spanish court has agreed to consider opening a criminal case against six former Bush administration officials, including former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, over allegations they gave legal cover for torture at Guantanamo Bay, a lawyer in the case said Saturday.
    Human rights lawyers brought the case before leading anti-terror judge Baltasar Garzon, who [...]

    Obama’s New Money Saving Plan

    Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

    Obama’s search for more money to spend… Why not take from vets?
    Written by a friend of Miss Scarlet’s:

    President Obama’s proposed plan is to force American war veterans to use their private insurance to pay for injuries sustained during war. Current policy states that soldiers who serve in war and are wounded have the medical [...]

    Obama: The Candidate vs. The President

    Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

    People are so gullible:
    President Barack Obama’s optimistic campaign rhetoric has crashed headlong into the stark reality of governing.
    In office two months, he has backpedaled on an array of issues, gingerly shifting positions as circumstances dictate while ducking for political cover to avoid undercutting his credibility and authority. That’s happened on the Iraq troop withdrawal timeline, [...]

    Thursday, March 19th, 2009

    You know, I had to turn off SportsCenter last night because they were all goo-goo over the fact that Obama gave them his NCAA basketball March Madness bracket. Well, not only did he give them his bracket, but he met with Andy Katz and they actually spent some considerable time breaking down the teams and [...]

    Kill Mosquitoes With…Lasers?

    Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

    And someone told me nothing came from the “Star Wars” of the 1980s.
    Scientists in the U.S. are developing a laser gun that could kill millions of mosquitoes in minutes.
    The laser, which has been dubbed a “weapon of mosquito destruction” fires at mosquitoes once it detects the audio frequency created by the beating of its [...]

    Obama’s Stem Cell Hypocrisy

    Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

    No political agenda, right?
    From tiny embryonic cells to the large-scale physics of global warming, President Barack Obama urged researchers on Monday to follow science and not ideology as he abolished contentious Bush-era restraints on stem-cell research. “Our government has forced what I believe is a false choice between sound science and moral values,” Obama declared [...]
