Auto Industry Dream

Kay, let's focus on the auto industry, shall we?

Just a thought. One of our contributors had this crazy dream last night that he went to Detroit and talked to the guys on the line. This was their idea:

Why don't we ONLY give the auto industry money IF they present plans for a new car. One that would radically change the world's concept of power usage. That is in terms of how humans get around in their daily life. First of them to step up, gets the most money. And less and less for each company in order as they come up with plans they probably just have to dust off. They can keep their CEOs, but they will have a specific amount of time to come out with the prototype or those same executives lose their jobs. Then, a certain amount of time for testing, or they lose their jobs. Then a certain amount of time to get to assembly line or they lose their jobs. I betcha we'd have a radical world changing international lead in innovation overnight. And we'd make money on the deal.

Thoughts?

Big Props for Rove

Missed me? Well, I've been awfully busy. And sort of speechless. You see, we won.

We made history. Check.
Make sure we witnessed it. Check.
Celebrate. Check.

Presidential Transition web site. Check.
Name Chief of Staff. Check. (and isn't he's gorgeous?)
Float Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. Check.
Crush The Right so hard (sore losers) they start calling us Nazis. Wah?

In point of fact, it would seem, we turned on a Right Wing Propaganda Machine and we can't find the off button.

Wall Street Journal (11/5) said:

"Criticizing our President has been catastrophic to our country, proving to the world what little character and resolve we have."

So, in order to quotethe rest of "their propaganda" properly, I went to find the Wall Street Journal article that The Colbert Report mentioned this last week

(http://www.comedycentral.com/colbertreport/full-episodes/index.jhtml?episodeId=210365)

which stated: "The GOP, while in power, was brutally victimized by the Democrats. This is the price (demonization) Mr. Bush is paying for trying to work with both Democrats & Republicans." I thought maybe they were kidding.

So I looked it up, and what do I find? A whole bunch of the same. Unbelievable. Look here at the American Sentinel:

http://theamericansentinel.com/2008/11/06/do-unto-obama-as-liberals-did-unto-bush/#comment-9376

This is what they say: "Democrats have been utterly vicious rabid political monsters for years."

This must be a Rove web site. No one is this wrong. Check it out for yourself. The title of the article is, "Do Unto Obama As The Liberals Did Unto Us."

I responded:

"Really? You think doing something you condemn and despise, as in slandering any U.S. leader, is a good idea, now? Hmmm… Be very careful how you sling around that word “stupid.” Treat the government and your elected officials how you yourself would like to be treated, and perhaps we could get something accomplished.

I’m just trying to get this straight. You are calling for treason, speaking out against the government elect, even before they take office. Is that right?

You are bearing false witness against a man who has yet to do anything to harm your way of life. You are actually saying “they” as if somehow because you figured out how to use a computer you are better than “they.” Love it or leave it, Mister. Where’s your patriotism? Speaking out against the future Commander-In-Chief who is to be in charge of our dear troops, and you are planning and plotting before he takes office to make his job running OUR country, MY country, and God help us, even YOUR country difficult just because your side lost. How dare you? Act like an American citizen. Proud to be here and part of the solution. Or shut up."

That's all for now. I have to finish filling out my employment application to work in the Obama-Biden Administration. I hear he's hiring Republicans, too. Maybe this pissant should put his livelihood where his mouth is. (Don't miss that Colbert episode, one of his best)

Oh sweetie

I just saw you on a tivo'd Colbert Report. You poor thing. You walked right into that and got boo eed off -- and you were just being loyal. Yeah, even back here in Maui I was booing, but that's just part of the Colbert schtick. He loves "getting" someone and you, my dear, got got. And we, as avid fans, who love you too, each and every one of us, booed out of love. It was a playful boo. We wouldn't know how to make it through a weekday without you. Thank God you keep them on point. Thank God you were such a large part, a trim tab in some ways, of the wonderful Obama movement for change. Not your goal, I know, but nonetheless for the last couple of months, you were on national cable television, putting some of us to sleep, in a good way, after Hardball, and Keith had accompanied us through pajamas and cocoa up here in the surprisingly cold mountains of Maui.

Once Upon A Time....

A Word on Love and Marriage.

Marriage was around a long time before the bible was. That's why the good book should not be an instruction guide for who to love. In fact, being gay was around a long time before the bible was. Its horrible and sad and unethical to take away basic human rights of anyone in the U.S. The right to love and marry is a basic human right and should not be controlled by an apparent majority vote of religious centric folk. Its embarrassing and historically something many of us will have to explain to our grandchildren in the future when acceptance is the norm and loving thy neighbor is the true way. It is in fact no one's business who a person loves. Its no one's business who a person marries. Since when does the state decide who you marry in the U.S.? Since this election. Horrible, nasty blight on an otherwise incredibly moving time in history. Bush started this useless debate to distract the public from what he was really doing as President. And those who were told that their religion agreed ate it hook, line and sinker. There are so many beliefs in so many different religions, but no one in the U.S. has passed a law saying I have to cover myself with a veil or pray 6 times a day. No one has passed a law saying I have to fast on certain days and atone for my sins on others. No one has passed a law that I must rest on Saturday or Sunday. Cows are not considered sacred and allowed to roam the streets in the U.S. All these other instructional books from religious organizations aren't allowed to slide over into political and national laws in the U.S. Why should the beliefs of SOME of the U.S. citizens be imposed on others when it comes to love and marriage. Its our generation's version of Jim Crow laws and its wrong on EVERY level. Humans have basic rights. Food, shelter, clothing, love. How dare the few dictate the basic rights of the many because of some book they believe in? If God created everything, then God created people who are gay. Even flowers change their sex when there are too many of one type in an area. It happens with some animals too. So it is completely natural. A book, printed on paper from fallen trees, is not natural. Love is natural. Laws that control who you can love are not natural and are unconstitutional. I, for one, will do everything in my power to have these hateful laws repealed. And those who support them should be ashamed of themselves and the way they let their religious beliefs be hijacked by haters.

Perhaps you can be helpful while we work to repeal it. I am not gay, but I plan to be helpful. I just don't think anyone should be robbed of the happily ever after endings we are all promised from our story books as children. We are all taught as we lay down to sleep and listen to fairy tales from our parents that true love is the goal. Even if you came from a horrible broken home, movies teach the same truism. Placing boundaries on who that true love can be just feels wrong. I don't want to be told who I can and can not love. Do you?

If you should feel the same way, please do something. Protest, or write your Senators or Congressmen. Write to your local paper. Sign petitions that come your way. Make your own video for free at OneTrueMedia.com and send it around or post it on You Tube expressing your thoughts. Write your vision for a better America in a letter to Obama at Change.Org. But please, do something. Don't let this incredible momentum be a huge step for mankind, but an embarrasing step backward for humanity.

Just Returned From Grant Park - Hutchinson Field, Chicago...

I've been on such a high, I wore my laminate invite all the way home on the various planes. On the last flight, a Rabbi befriended me as I lay down in the "row" American Airlines so graciously gave me.

I settled in, listening to his mission of practicing mitzvahs (good deads), and my eyes just began closing without permission.

As I started to pass out, I felt a real life size pillow being placed under my head ...and blissfully drifted off with the satisfaction of having fought the fight of the just, and won.
