I’m lined up for CARS. It’s a ridiculously stupid program, for all the reasons noted above. But I’ll take the money, including the tax credit.

One for all and all for the UAW.

The Obama house, so to speak, has fires breaking out all over. The economic smouldering is going to reach the combustibles in the basement soon.

In the local uber-liberal fishwrap, the reader comment response to the suspending-restart of CARS was overwhelmingly negative, tracking the kind of comments one normally sees at Belmont Club. The only curve that Obama is bending is political opinion towards the middle, and the middle is getting ticked off. Even the Obama disciple neighbors are asking cost-benefit questions about Obama initiatives, especially if they (the neighbors) were not eligible for CARS! Mutinous thought-crime is breaking out from stern to bow.

On a drive today, in the countryside, I saw a new item. On a flagpole a rural resident was flying the US flag and the Israel flag. Hmmm.
