Candidates to Replace GM, Citigroup in the Dow

Caveat Emptor.

Candidates to Replace GM, Citigroup in the Dow

It doesn't matter who replaces GM on the DOW. The Dow, S&P, NASDC, etc...are volumes, highs and lows, are ALL fabricated and manipulated. At the present time, there is ABSOLUTELY no free market.

Obama Proposes Higher Fuel Standards

That is pretty good, then. How viable is solar/wind generation as the primary energy source for electricity to recharge cars across the USA? How much land area (for solar) or how many windmills are required to supply and distribute that amount of electricity?

If you really want to save the Earth, why not take Obama's oil conservation program even further? just prohibit ALL car production and sale; Then implement a tax to produce government bicycles to be distributed for every man, woman, and child. No more oil needed to make cars. No more steel, aluminum, etc.... No more US dollars spent on foriegn cars (the soon to be only remaing car manufacturers). No more car accidents. No more car insurance or excise tax. And no more gas stations. No more obesity issues. All us comrads will be fit and trim. That will really save all of us money while saving the earth.

What a wonderful world it will be?

Woooo Hoooo!

Death of an American Icon

I understand that the US. Gov.t has recenly been restricting the supply of munitions-grade copper/brass to manufacture bullets. If so, it sounds like a possible end-run around the Constitution's guarantee that we can keep and bear arms. What use are guns for any militia - be it one man or an army - without an available supply of ammunition?

Obama to Announce Chrysler Bankruptcy Thursday

Why would the POTUS be the one to give an update on Chrystler's status? It is (still) a non-government owned company.

Seems we have a meglomaniac for president. "Today, Private Enterprise...Tomorrow, the world." Sounds familiar.
