Happy Fête Nationale (Bastille Day) to the French people and to all whom love that great nation.

Today it becomes legal for certain private citizens in the Confused State of Tennessee to carry loaded firearms into establishments where alcohol is served and sold. Folding Buck knives are still illegal to carry in public. R.I.P. Common Sense. I suppose a good anarchy is what we need to help pull us out of this recession; maybe our national leaders will follow suit. I think gun carrying should be mandatory in churches, schools, and Wal-Marts. Maybe CNN will have some bloody news to incessantly pour through the airwaves instead of the endless, mind numbing, repetitious crappola they feed us when one of our national gods kicks the bucket. R.I.P. Common Sense. Let's all grab the kiddies and go to the park and hope to see a good old fashioned OK Corral type shootout. Maybe we will be lucky if a gunslinger bullet hits one of us or our brats so we can sue someone like the citizens of this law-based nation are prone to do. R.I.P. Common Sense.

A.I.G. is petitioning The Fed to allow it to use bailout funds to give raises to its executives and others in the slimy organization. Bank of America is wanting more, more, more. Citi Group is claiming a profit for the first quarter this year, but it is just numbers to make its stock look favorable to investors; it is still in dire straits.
Last week, Carolyn took her '06 Chevy van to the dealership for an oil change and tire rotation, She also asked them to repair under warranty the oil pressure gauge which quit working for the second time since she bought the van new in Nov. '06. Also to be fixed was a wobbly latch on the side cargo door. All was done, but the bad latch was replaced with something that looked like it has been well used and is rusty from disuse. This from a company that is pulling itself out of bankruptcy at taxpayer expense and promising to do better. The New General Motors is still operating in a business as usual atmosphere and I see no reason for them to be any different than the "old" GM.
At one time I was for a GM bailout, but not the kind we the people decided to allow them to have. I will not make the same mistake again. Let these companies go under and let the investors, homeowners, and policy holders take their lumps. We need to re-invent ourselves as nation of, by, and for the people, and it will not be done until we make it so. It will be very tough, but we will be strong again. The Spirit of '76 is sorely needed in our heats and in our hands.

They have manipulated the numbers of these banks by moving their loses of the books. It will come back to haunt them and us in the future.
Exactly.
