Default This should be good.

A government auto industry oversight board made up of politicians and
lawyers, consisting of:

"Cabinet secretaries from the departments of Treasury, Energy, Labor,
Commerce and Transportation plus the Environmental Protection Agency
administrator"


Can you say, "Cluster-f*&%"?

Were you hoping for senior execs from the brokerage, banking, insurance,
and oil industries?

The only good thing emerging from the financial fall-out...realization
among those who comprise the "thinking public" that corporate screw-ups
quite likely exceed governmental screw-ups, and that there is no greed
like corporate greed.

I was hoping for an honest, federal judge.

It will be another 911 commission. Only there to keep insiders in the
process to cover up the payoffs and mistakes... Not only that but the
"oversight" will cost us millions too.. Just think, we get to pay to
take it up the a**...

I wonder if they included any actual WORKERS....you know...those who
DO the job ..instead of the rich cocksucking middle-management
asswipes, and blood-sucking lawyers.

We all are but that is a political patronage position.

Why don't we put T Boone in charge and give all the auto makers wind
turbine contracts to keep them busy until they figure out a car that
people will buy.



T. Boone is an interesting and entertaining nut.

He's to be commended for his initiatives, but a lot of the wind has been
taken out of his turbines since oil started dropping in price.

I have a theory about wind power. If it is implemented on a massive scale,
the next thing we'll hear is that by capturing the energy of the wind, we
are upsetting natural wind currents, screwing up seed distribution and
contributing even more to global warming. Or cooling. Or whatever the tree
huggers are promoting at the time.

Not to mention that the wind corridor that Pickens is proposing is
right smack dab in the middle of the mid-America flyway for migrating
birds.

Wonder how he's going to get around that one.

With the newer technological turbines, I don't believe bird kills are a
concern. Most of the reports of bird kills, go back to the Altamont Pass
turbines, which were an older technology.

You mean they might kill some friggin' Canada geese? Where do I send money
to put these things up?
