Chrysler goes Chapter 11

1. Chrysler heads into Bankruptcy - Even a fake wood sided PT Cruiser won’t help them now.  That’s right… not even THAT could help them now.  Hope the company comes out of bankruptcy stronger than ever.
(From the NY Times)

2. 100 Days Presser: Enchanted?  I’ll give you enchanted – NY Times reporter blows sweet smelling smoke up the rear end of the President with that one.  Glad to see the President kinda made fun of the question. Overall I thought the President did a fine job last night with the Press Conference.  He made a great point about how he doesn’t want to expand government.  (Which I’m sure the far right scoffed at) and that if he could have a lean portfolio… he’d take it.  But unfortunately, he’s and his administration has to deal with Iraq, Afghanistan, a huge financial crisis, Iran, North Korea, Swine Flu, shifting Energy Policy, and a health care system with so many entitlements that it could very well bankrupt the nation in the not so distant future.  Makes the Monica Lewinski scandal look like a frickin’ cake walk, doesn’t it…  (From The Washington Post and Hot Air)

3. Miss USA  CA folks paid for Miss USA CA’s Breast Implants – That, and Miss CA USA will star in an ad campaigning against Gay Marriage.  I can only assume that she thinks two gay people getting married wouldn’t qualify to her as “real” marriage.  So she’s got gay breasts?  That were bought for her by, or… somethi… I don’t know.  She said traditional marriage is “near and dear to her heart.”  Just like her fake breasts?  (From MSNBC and the AP)

4. Fighting in Afghanistan – What’s it like to be a U.S. Serviceman stationed at a base on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan?  Your days may include: killing rabid dogs, patrolling 350 square miles of nothing, and picking up the pieces of flesh left behind by the maniac suicide bomber who did nothing but severely injure an Afghan policeman and violently scatter chunks of himself all over your patrol area.  This is not an easy life.  (From GQ)

5. Why I hate people - Because some think that it’s a-okay to write “I’d rather count the wrinkles on my dog’s balls than sit on jury duty,”  on a notarized affidavit on why you can’t perform your civic duty.  Yep, because the courts will say: “OOhh… NOW we understand.”  (From the Smoking Gun via Hot Air)
