Obama,s D-day Speech

Later today Obama will be giving a speech in Normandy to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. I wonder will he take the opportunity to apologize to Germany for our soldiers having fought the NAZI troops with such ferocity. Will he apologize to the French for having bled on their beaches? Will he point out is was not one of Americas proudest or finest moments?

U.S. Currency

Did you know that the largest currency produced by the United States was the 100,000 dollar bill

$100.000 bill featured Woodrow Wilson

$10,000 bill featured Salmon P. Chase, Supreme Court Chief Justice

$5.000 bill featured James Madison

$1,000 bill featured Grover Cleveland

$500 bill featured William McKinley

Is this considered a dichotomy?

Corporate executives of financially strapped organizations are not allowed to travel in corporate jets. They have been shamed out of it. The C.E.O. of the financially strapped United States government travels around in our corporate jet at our expense. The C.E.O. of the United States does it on such worthwhile causes as dating his wife. At least the corporate executives were conducting business. I know some of you are thinking he is forced to travel in that manner due to security concerns. The New York trip to Broadway took two planes, one helicopter and several vehicles. Within the past week Obama indicated the U.S. has run out of money. Should not all C.E.O.'s of organizations living off the taxpayers comply with all the same rules. Stay at home, watch a movie, save some of our tax dollars.

"The Country of China is going to be doing a Broadway-style play based on Karl Marx's book on communism. A play based on communism. You know, that's where capitalism has been replaced by the government taking over control of all private industries- or, as we call it in this country, a 'stimulus' package." Jay Leno

Religion of Global Warming

All to often we present information in a one sided indoctrinational manner excluding other thoughts or perspectives on an issue, and we call it education. This paper is intended to offer a view other than the religion of global warming, and the we are destroying the planet crowd. The planet would be a perfect place if there just weren't any people around.

In the words of the late comedian George Carlin here are some points to ponder.

"The country is full of them, people walking around worried about everything. They are worried about the air, water, soil, worried about insecticide, pesticides, food additives, radon gas, carcinogens', worried about asbestos, worried about saving endangered species. Saving endangered species is one more arrogant attempt by humans to control nature. Way over 90% of the species who ever lived on this planet are gone, disappeared. They"re extinct, we didn't kill them all." "We are so self important. Every body's going to save something now. Save the trees, save the bees, save the whale, save the snail. The greatest arrogance of them all is save the planet. I'm tired of earth day and these self righteous environmentalist, these white bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is there are not enough bike paths. People trying to make the world a safe place for their Volvo's." "The planet has been here four and a half billion years. We have been here what, 100,000 maybe 200,000 years. We have been engaged in heavy industry for what a little over 200 years. Two-hundred years verses four and a half billion. We have the conceit to think that somehow we are a threat. We are going to destroy this little blue green ball that is floating around the sun. The planet has been through all kinds of things much worse than us. It's been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, magnetic reversal of the poles, hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, world wide floods, tidal waves, world wide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages, and we think that some plastic bags and aluminum cans are going to make a difference. The planet isn't going anywhere, the planet is fine. The planet will one day shake us off like a bad case of the fleas. If you want to know how the planet is doing ask those people in Pompeii who are frozen into position from volcanic ash if they feel like a threat to the planet this week."

All of us should be good stewards of the earth and conserve when possible and definitely not trash the place with plastic bags and aluminium cans. We also have a duty to act in reasonable and intelligent ways and not to glob onto the next slogan or bumper sticker that comes down the road. Science by consensus is not science, but instead junk science and we are bombarded by it on a daily basis.

Bye Bye American Car by J Jet

Years ago Don Mclean wrote the song "American Pie" about the day the music died. It recalls the death of Buddy Holly and the subsequent decline of American Rock and Roll. The era of blue jeans and white tee shirts, guys with fast cars and testosterone fueled competitiveness was quickly replaced by wimpy looking characters in paisley floating through cartoon flowers and romping around in yellow submarines. The sell off of Chrysler and the bankruptcy of GM need to be documented in song as the day the American car died. Great steeds of chrome and steel replaced by little plastic and battery hybrids so small you can't even make out in the back seat.

The American Auto Industry has been sickly for years, but recently, like a dying patient in a nursing home, has been artificially kept alive with infusions of billions of taxpayer dollars. We are being told that hopefully, with more tax dollars, the patient will be revived.

After GM's bankruptcy the subsequent entity would be owned by the government and the union, and would be a leaner, more competitive organization that would supply the types of products that people demand. This could be the best snow job of all time, worthy of great car salesmen. If you buy this we will throw in the free floor-mats.

Has anyone stopped to figure out what went wrong with the corporation that at one time was considered one of the symbols of American greatness? Simply put, could there be much of an argument against the premise that the demise of GM was caused by greedy executives, greedy unions, and governmental regulations and interference? The plan is that when we get rid of the executives, the unions and government will change their ways, and this venture will be successful. do you want the undercoating? How about the extended warranty?
