I think it is time to ban the plastic shopping bag. I’m not a green freak but I do my part. As I travel around the largest percentage of trash I see on the roadside, in the woods, and today on the beach are damn plastic shopping bags.

Saturn made small well built cars and GM is closing the plant WTF?

Saturn was a spin off of GM started around 1990. They specifically built a brand new state of the art plant, away from Detroit in Tennessee. From day one they were to be a different kind of car company. They made very well built cars, cars with Hi-Tech Polymer bodies that were light-weight, didn’t dent, didn’t rust. They looked good and got good gas mileage. It was GM’s way to build a Japanese car in America by an American company.
The point to all this is Saturn was and is building the kind of cars that the Government says GM needs to build to survive. So I was shocked to see GM is closing them on November 9th. What sense does that make?

Today the Dow drop to it’s lowest point since 1997 at 6763 down 299 points in one day. The Dow Jones Industrial has gone down almost 24% since President Obama was inaugurated. Now I’m not saying it went down because he was inaugurated. It has gone down because of the spending policies of Congress and the Obama administration.

Hopefully I’ll make some sense as I write this sleep deprived, in pain, and just a little cranky. Well today was a day filled with bad business news at least according to my sources at Fox Business News both on Cable and XM-Radio. The Dow fell into the low 8200’s because Secretary of the Treasury [...]
