Preview from Europe: Rejected Auto Bailout Tanks Markets

As far as some in Congress asking the unions to cut wages in line with Japanese car makers, it occurs to me that the request for help was not put to the Japanese legislature, but to the US Congress.

Beyond that, it seems that both parties are used to getting to good a deal. And it looks like times are going to teach them a stern lesson. And I don't mean only the unions, but the fat parasites that lied their way to Congress, and their manipulators as well.

Compressed Natural Gas: Key to American Energy Independence?

This really get my goat. Everybody and his brother, from the federal government on down to the municipalities, not to forget the corporate bandwagon, has something to say about energy (oil) shortage, and of course global warming.
But when you go to a rat ass country in Eastern Europe, and see gas stations that pump natural gas (propane), and lots of small cars that use it, you may be forgiven to have concluded that in the US, we are experiencing an artificial, may be an induced crisis. Apparently anybody who is in position to do something about it, does not really take it seriously.

I mean using natural gas as fuel is not only cleaner, but virtually doubles the supply base for the driving public.
