Thanks everyone who gave me the birthday wishes…
Thanks mona for the mood lighting, and Julia for bothering to find 34 candles in Deutschland 😉

I started Italian lessons the other night…I think I’ve forgotten everything but ciao!

…and here comes Obama thinking of bailing out the Auto Industry…wouldn’t it be better for the environment if the US auto industry failed or shrank…Putting business interests ahead of the environment….Obama as republican….
If they did fail you’d have more european and Asian cars on the roads over there…I don’t think that’s bad.
The money would be better spent elsewhere…I’ve only ever owned one US made vehicle (a 76 jeep CJ5) and it was 25 years old when I bought it…if I was paying taxes in the states why should I have to use those tax dollars for a bailout of a company(ies) that doesn’t benefit me…
Just shut em down and give the retired workers free health care (give em all health care) and a year in community college. It doesn’t take a genius to notice that if your pension plan takes in x dollars but owes x² that the people in that company are stupid to offer that and the workers are stupid to accept that…(social security)…companies with stupid people running them should fail.
Can we just give Michigan to Canada???

I’ve been accused of making incorrect statements just to elicit a response on this page… 😉 who me…

…and I finally heard an intelligent european take on Obama (on a news podcast). something along the lines of ‘it’s great that he won, but germans need to temper their enthusiasm a bit. If they knew his positions they’d realize he’s not going to win the Socialist politician of the year award’.
Ok so I probably completely butchered that quote (it was only from memory), and if I’m not mistaken that might be sarcasm coming out of a germans mouth…The world ends tomorrow…
