House Narrowly Passes Historic Health Care Bill {Politics Daily}
Nov 8th 2009 1:54AM They needed 218 Votes. They got 220, just squeaked by on three votes.
For:220; Against: 215. Doesn't really look like a landslide, does it?
Hopefully, the Senate will flush this piece of crap down the terlit, where it belongs...

Nov 1st 2009 11:15AM With Any Luck At All, the UAW will be able to Bankrupt Ford Too! GM & Chrysler, Been There! Done That! AND, now GM & Chrysler (Fiat) have the Advantage! Strange World! Will the UAW Never Learn???
Teenage girls earn extra cash for college -- as long as they don't get pregnant {Daily Finance}
Nov 1st 2009 11:05AM This sounds like a Great Program, and we need more like it. Women really need that College Education to succeed in today's world. It makes them independent, if need be, and they can make their own way in style. Compare a College Educated woman making $50 K + per year with the uneducated woman with children, scratching to get by, and having to have others help her to even exist. More College Educated, Self Sufficient Women! More Programs like This!
The new Ted Turner misses the old {Daily Finance}
Oct 20th 2009 12:57PM Ted Turner has only $1.8 Billion left?? Consider this: A Millionaire is thought to be fairly well off, able to buy what he wants to, and does not worry much about budgets, where his next meal is coming from, the mortgage, the car payment.. etc. Ted Turner can currently match the collective Bank Accounts of One Thousand, Eight Hundred Millionaires! He hasn't done so poorly afterall, has he?
Obama Pay Czar Plans to Limit Executives' Cash Compensation {Politics Daily}
Oct 6th 2009 12:57PM " Instead of receiving their usual cash salaries, executives will have percentages of their pay transferred into company stock that cannot be cashed in for several years." If they do a good job,and the value of the stock increases, they will make more money. If they do a poor job, and the stock goes down, they will lose money. A REAL INCENTIVE TO SUCCEED!
I'm for it, and I'm a Republican, did not vote for Obama, BUT I LIKE THIS!! REMEMBER, THESE FEW COMPANIES ARE STILL IN BUSINESS BECAUSE OF TAXPAYER MONEY!!
Grim employment numbers stoke investor fears of double dip recession {Daily Finance}
Oct 2nd 2009 2:16PM The Banks just soaked up almost a $Trillion Dollars of Taxpayer Money, with NO accountability, and were asked to help with the Economy. After "Ike" the Hurricane that hit the South Coast, I went to the Bank and asked for a Home Equity Loan. I own my home outright. I own my car outright. I have a fixed income of $50,000 a year. The Bank told me they would be happy to give me a Mortgage $20K lone on my $250K home, and they would only charge me TWELVE (12) PERCENT INTEREST! I get better than that on my credit cards! Sooo, no money for the Carpet Layers, no money for the Roofers, no money for the Landscapers, No money for the Siding Installers, no money for any of the WORKERS that could help the Economy! They are unimployed, and the line is getting longer. I will do the work myself, all that I can, and do without the rest of the repairs... The Banks are trying to GET WELL ASAP, and their position is: to hell with our Economy, just BOOST THEIR BONUSES...
Toyota to recall 3.8 million cars -- largest US recall in its history {Daily Finance}
Sep 29th 2009 11:20PM My Ohio built Honda Accord has a little hole in the driver's
side floor mat, and a strap goes through this hole back to a horizontal rod under the driver's seat. This strap restrains the mat from moving forward. No Problem...
Will Boeing move to Beijing? {Daily Finance}
Aug 31st 2009 8:49PM "Obama does not own Boeing! It is a privately owned corporation. Sheesh, conservatives talk out of both sides of their mouths." Obama didn't own General Motors either, but Now.... By the way, Boeing is not a privately owned compny. You can buy it's stock on the Stock Exchange. If you have enough money, YOU can Own It!
In legal victory, Comcast now able to gobble up more of cable market {Daily Finance}
Aug 30th 2009 2:09AM Concerning Broadband, I just recently purchased the DSL Service from AT&T. They also support my phone service. The DSL is not fast enough for most videos, but it is about 15 to 20 times faster than the dial up modem I have used for years. A Significant Improvement. It did not work at first, and AT&T had their Techs come out and fix the problem, which appears to have been in the phone lines/relay boxes. They got it up and running in no time at all. Great Support, Very Courteous and Knowledgeable people, and Great Price!
Losing track of Boeing 787 Dreamliner's failures {Daily Finance}
Aug 15th 2009 3:06PM Good Management and Accounting are Great. A successful company has to have them. BUT, what about the Technical Team?? Does Boeing have a Chief Engineer on the Dreamliner responsible for ALL Engineering, or is the Dreamliner Engineering done by Committee?? WHO IS THE CHIEF ENGINEER? A MANAGEMENT GURU THAT IS SCHEDULE AND COST FOCUSED? Just gotta love those committees...Pass the doughnuts please...
