Uncle Sam to the Rescue

Ha! Especially the part about rescuing the investors. Double ha.

Anyone notice, by the way... Obama says that GM will be survive by building "cars people want to buy"? ie- the little econoboxes that the government is going to mandate. But if they are the cars we want to buy, why do they have to be mandated? Wouldn't it be more honest to say that GM will survive by building cars that we're going to make you buy?

So. GM is headed got the pink sheets. The investors will get nothing. The creditors will get screwed. How is this different than just letting GM file for bankruptcy and/or go out of business months ago? The only difference is that now the government and the unions own a car company, and we paid for it. (or rather, we'll pay what we can for it, before we pass the debt on to our children)

Good News, Bad News

I'm not a fan of anyone involved, so I'm still figuring out how I feel about the MTV spectacle (link nsfw) last night. Gut reaction: Bruno's humor is mean spirited, and I really have had enough of that. It's not the crude that bothers me, it's the intent to humiliate. On the upside: should anyone shoot Sacha Baron Cohen now, the entire left half of the blogosphere will blame Eminem.

***Update:

"There's no way it was an accident," an industry insider who was seated a few rows in front of Eminem tells TVGuide.com.

Certainly we'd all like it to be staged. The thought of a universe where random chance can lead to Sacha Baron Cohen's butt in your face chills us.

Air America to Blame?

Rusty Weiss reports on some liberal blogs reaction to the murder of George Tiller. It's typical, knee jerk Limbaugh-did-it stuff; no surprise there. The butt-bite will be if Good Morning America, and the network news stations pick up the chant. Will they? Who knows, but it's hard to go broke betting against integrety in the main stream media these days.

I wonder if any of these same folk would link this guy to liberal talk show hosts:
