They Said it on Late Night TV
December 11, 2008 – 9:50 am
Jay Leno: "How many people in our studio got your seats tonight because you paid off Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich?"
Jay Leno: "Don’t you love watching congressmen lecture auto executives on how to run their business? I mean, you got people that put us a trillion dollars in debt lecturing people who put us a [...]
They Said it on Late Night TV

Jay Leno: "Insiders say that President Bush and his wife Laura have already bought a home in Dallas, Texas, to move into after they leave the White House. And if this turns out to be true, this would be the first time in his Presidency he’s actually had an exit strategy."
Jay Leno: "President-elect [...]
Blackguards of Blackwater – Back in the News
December 8, 2008 – 6:03 am
Remember those 17 Iraqi civilians murdered by member of the ‘elite’ security force, Blackwater? On September 16th, 2007, a firefight (if the strafing of civilians with automatic weapons can be considered a firefight!) in Nisour Square left 17 civilians dead, 14 of whom the FBI has determined were unjustifiable.
Well, the 5 Blackwater murderers [...]
WaMu cuts 9200 jobs nationwide, 3400 in Seattle alone
December 2, 2008 – 5:57 am
As the ripples of the economic debacle continue to spread we will be seeing more cases like WaMu. Washington Mutual collapsed in September and was acquired by JPMorgan for $1.9 billion. It was this nation’s largest bank failure in history.

David Letterman: Top Ten Signs President Bush Doesn’t Care Anymore: "10. Hasn’t taken off his Iron Man costume since Halloween. 9. The menu for the White House Thanksgiving dinner? Corn dogs and Beefaroni. 8. Drew a picture of Garfield on Dick Cheney’s bald head. [...]
Hillary may not qualify for cabinet post
November 30, 2008 – 6:57 am
Yikes! There is apparently an oft forgotten little clause in the U.S. Constitution (Article One, Section Six) that prohibits senators from taking a civil office if that legislator has ever voted to increase the pay for that job. Could this preclude Hillary from accepting the post of Secretary of State?
There is also some [...]
VW Unveils New 69.9 mpg Hybrid
November 28, 2008 – 10:39 am
In spite of the promises by Detroit and the lavish spreads in Popular Mechanics, the flying car I was promised in the July 1957 is really no closer to a reality now than it was then. Sure, there are some one off solutions, but honestly, who can afford to drive or fly something [...]
Palin Pardons One While Hundreds go to Slaughter
November 24, 2008 – 5:56 am
You really have to wonder what she was thinking. When President George H.W. Bush officially pardoned the first Thanksgiving turkey in 1989, it became a cute little White House tradition and photo op for the President and his family.
A lighthearted moment for the 6 o’clock news normally filled with war and famine. [...]
Auto Bailout – What is the Risk to the Taxpayer?
November 20, 2008 – 12:36 pm
The ‘Big Three’, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, have spent billions of dollars in the past few years betting that the American public doesn’t really want fuel efficiency.
That sounds like a harsh statement, but look at the facts:
The Hummer
Any Denali
Chevy Suburban
Ford Expedition
Cadillac Escalade
No electric car
Average MPG by [...]
