Wagner Gets Axed
Dude! You had thirty years to straighten out the problems and all GM has done is lost market share, lost money, and lost its way. For the good of the company you had to go.

President Obama and Secretary Clinton
Does anybody remember that a year ago Senator Clinton offered Senator Obama the Vice Presidency if he would just give up his bid for the White House? I still get a kick out of that!

Freedom Tower Renamed
The 1,776 feet tall Freedom Tower is being renamed to One World Trade Center. People are highly upset. I don’t know why. Freedom Tower has all kinds of socialist connotations. If anything it should have been named Capitalism Tower.

F22 Raptor Crashes
As I was driving home I heard over the radio that an F22 crashed during its test flight in California. Is it just me or does there appear to be a rash of planes falling out of the sky these days?

Dow Goes Up On Stimulus Plan
The DOW soars on news of the latest stimulus plan. I guess the positive feedback is the market’s way of saying Wall Street approves. More than likely the plan protects the bank’s interest and people get screwed yet again.

A Special Challenge
Kolan McConiughey, who is cognitively impaired and has bowled five perfect games since 2005, made a challenge to bowl against President Barack Obama. Mr. Obama’s offhanded remark on The Tonight Show comparing his bowling to the typical Special Olympics bowler. Mr. McConiughey said he could beat Mr. Obama easily. I think that proves Mr. Obama’s point.

Heart Failure In The Black Community
One percent of black people develop heart failure before age the age of fifty, according to one study to determine of younger adults. That rate is twenty times higher than whites. Cops now have another excuse as to why blacks are more likely to die in their custody.

The Pope Visits Africa
Pope Benedict XVI denounced condom use on the AIDS-ravaged continent, saying there were better ways to combat the disease. Keeping priest from being alone with boys will probably help.

Seinfeld Reunion
The cast of Seinfeld will reunite for a storyline on next season’s Curb Your Enthusiasm despite Michael Richard’s uber racist rant. The man’s contempt for black people is made plain and people still want to see him.

Johnston and Palin
Is anybody really surprised that these two split up?

Madoff Pleads Guilty
Bernard Madoff pleads guilty to eleven counts of whatever. He faces one hundred fifty years in prison. I truly wonder how much he really gets and whether or not his wife will be able to keep their assets.

Jackson Announces Performance
Michael Jackson announced that he will perform a series of live concerts for the first time in eight years. All the performances will be given in London, England. To hell with all those fans who can’t afford to just jump in a jet and travel halfway around the globe to see him. Then again he’ll probably be arrested if he comes back to the states.

Some people are calling Rush Limbaugh the de-facto leader of the Republican Party. And people wonder why the Republican Party doesn’t appeal to the vast majority of minorities.
