They've never sold The Mark of Excellence
Mine died at 65,000 miles..was barely worth the tow value 40501. arkymalarky - 11/24/2008 1:00:40 AM Only if you're buying. And if you pay my way out there. 40502. arkymalarky - 11/24/2008 1:01:19 AM And back. 40503. arkymalarky - 11/24/2008 1:14:47 AM Judith's car is great, and Bob loves his Hyundai and I love my Honda. I don't feel an obligation to buy American in the current environment. Between the govt and mgmt there is no reasonable way to expect that kind of loyalty. However I very much agree with Wonk. Workers first, investment bankers last. The whole corporate culture of nothing but orgies needs a complete overhaul or we're done for. There ought to be a formula for corporate compensartion tied to profits. "They deserve it because they can get it" can no longer suffice as a basis for corporate behavior.
And it's not the jets, but the cluelessness of the Big Three CEOs in general. I'll say it again: any gvt money should come to any corporation under condition of firing current management. If that causes them not to seek the money, then so be it. 40504. winstonsmith - 11/24/2008 2:02:16 AM Do any Motie's actually own an American car?
We have a Toyota and an Infiniti (Nissan)
40505. arkymalarky - 11/24/2008 2:15:02 AM We have an American truck.it's a '92 Chevy S10 and it's been great. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another American car based on my criteria and research. My car was the only one its size with a 5 star crash rating and gets between 35 and 40 mpg. It didn't pay to get a hybrid and it's the only new car I've ever bought and I got it sight unseen because it was a good price. We run our cars into the ground. I frankly hope to buy only one other car in my life and I will use the same approach I always have. If it's American, great. 40506. jexster - 11/24/2008 2:41:30 AM Do any Motie's actually own an American car?

We could own Citi for less than they're begging for!
Citi considers ‘bad bank’ plan
Citigroup is working on a plan to stabilise the bank that is expected to include transferring tens of billions of dollars in distressed assets to a government-owned vehicle for at least several years, people familiar with matter said on Sunday.
The “good bank-bad bank” structure being discussed by Citi and US regulators resembles the October plan under which UBS said it would shift up to $60bn of illiquid securities to a fund owned by the Swiss National Bank, said a major Citigroup shareholder who was briefed on the plan by someone with direct knowledge of it.
E...
Citi’s board has been considering alternatives for the bank after its share price fell 60 per cent last week, closing Friday at $3.77 a share. At that level, the bank’s market value is about $20bn. 40509. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 11/24/2008 3:27:30 AM SNL Does Detroit

BARACK OBAMA may have figured out a way to stimulate the economy even before taking office: by being elected.
Merchandise commemorating, celebrating and — in some instances — practically canonizing Mr. Obama is being sold by companies large and small, institutional and entrepreneurial, familiar (Time Inc.) and not so (the American Historic Society).
Consumers have already spent perhaps as much as $200 million on Obamabilia, two months before he will be inaugurated as the 44th president and another tidal wave of tchotchkes will be unleashed.
tchotchkes?! 40511. jexster - 11/24/2008 4:01:15 AM Mote Crimmus

hondo it has been this way dating back to the begining of time,JEWS simply can not help themselfs from money grubing,they have it in their mind that somehow we owe it to them.Why do you think they have been run out of every country that they have set up shop in.Back in the old country when the soldiers came to pick up the Jews the non jews in the neighborhood did nothing to help them and in most cases were glad that they were getting what they had comming for the years of money grubing and well just JEWS BEING JEWS always treating the GOY like something they could use,i used to work for an old Jew when i would come over to his house to help him he never asked me how i was or anything else,he would just say"HOW CAN I USE YOU TODAY" i knew that he was just like his father and his grandfather before him it was bred into them to be that way.Now they are here in the United States pulling the same S**T here.
mmmm....Channeling Henry Ford????

Although they cost a fair amount more the quality is better and they come with heated seats unlike those California wines. 40518. wonkers2 - 11/24/2008 5:34:49 PM More money to bail our CitiGroup, one of the great criminal enterprises of the century CitiGroup $ 40519. wonkers2 - 11/24/2008 5:37:03 PM Rubin, according to the NYT was in the middle of the CDO binge that led to CitiGroup's downfall. And when he was Sec.Treasury he pushed for deregulation of of banking.
