Da Techguy's (no longer backup) Blog

The talk of the town is GM and my son is finally sleeping in his own room so I’m blogging again:

6:01 a.m. Richard Hass says get used to it with the GM stuff.

6:04 a.m. The North Korea and the Cig Tax are the really big stories but they don’t understand that.

6:09 a.m. Company’s will think twice about taking money in the future.

6:13 a.m. The best route might have been bankruptcy? DUH!

6:17 a.m. I guess that Etheridge joke is sorta an Obama joke.

6:20 a.m. No progress on anything at G20 did anyone expect any?

6:21 a.m. Why do they love the LA Times?

6:22 a.m. You know everyone is going to die of something

6:27 a.m. They are having Danny Hannan the loud the English MP. It would be a lot more interesting if they had him in the 7:00 hour when more people are watching.

6:36 a.m. “They are following Obama blindly”

6:38 a.m. It’s funny he has been saying it for a year and nobody noticed, I guess it’s location location location.

6:40 a.m. Talking about accounting tricks, why do people follow. He answers that frenzied activity can give the impression that you actually know what you are doing and they won’t admit they are wrong so they carry on.

6:45 a.m. He closes on the comparison between the head of the Bank of England and Bilbo Baggins and points out Bilbo was right in the end.

6:59 a.m. The Sham Wow guy is getting hit now.

7:01 a.m. brb

7:13 a.m. What kind of question was that? I’m not much on Steele but that was a stupid question and Joe and Mika are nailing it.

7:15 a.m. Jon is trying to avoid the racist angle of the question and Mika is answering a call from her kids.

7:24 a.m. I must confess I have no interest in college basketball.

7:28 a.m. Wagner is a “sacrifical lamb” says the Guv on Michigan.

7:30 a.m. Then again if these guys were making cars people wanted at a price we can afford then they wouldn’t need this stuff.

7:35 a.m. Ariana is a bit of a nut but she is certainly a handsome woman.

7:39 a.m. Rangel has a real point in that clip. Doesn’t change his tax situation.

7:41 a.m. Yeah Arianna is going to be investigating democrats I believe that.

7:49 a.m. Putting the people in charge who messed it up is foolish as they all seem to agree.

7:51 a.m. The mainstreaming of the Nation magazine and of Katrina Vanden Heuvel in particular is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen over the last decade. The amazing thing is she is just as much of a pro soviet, pro socialist, pro communist, the US is evil etc as she ever was. It is the press that books her that have become more radical.

8:02 a.m. Burns was the only reason to read the NYT concerning Iraq.

8:26 a.m. You know people go after the US for it’s wealth but they forget that that wealth end up supporting a lot of people all over the world.

8:27 a.m. Fertility isn’t the problem, corruption is.

8:32 a.m. The New York Times already tried that, remember how well that went Joe?

8:34 a.m. My Brother had a Fiat 128.

8:38 a.m. Katrina uses the “reset” word with Russia she doesn’t follow the news much does she?

8:42 a.m. Oh it is Neo Nazi’s killing people not Putin. Does she actually believe that? Oh it is Yelsin’s fault.

8:43 a.m. Joe is calling her on it. Yup she is still pro-soviet.

8:45 a.m. She compares Putin favorably to Bush as a “democrat”. This should be required watching by everyone who wasn’t born before the wall fell so you can see what a soviet apologist actually looks like.
