Automakers Asking for Bailout

The Democrats are making more plans to push universal health care.  This time, Montana Senator Max Baucus is preparing a white paper looking at policy proposals to provide "affordable, accessible health care" for everybody.

 

With Michelle Obama shopping for private schools, members of the DC Board of Education are begging the Obamas to send their kids to the DC government schools.

 

With bailouts continuing, some economists are wondering where they stop.  The next to be bailed out is likely to be the auto industry, since American Express has already asked for a piece of the financial industry bailout package.  The auto industry has already gotten a bailout from the Australian government.  The result?  "Car giants 'laugh at Aussie suckers'".  By the way, GM's SUV assembly plant is working overtime now that gas prices are falling again.

 

The financial bailout is working so well so that Henry Paulson says it won't be used to purchase bad mortgages like it was meant to do.

 

The idea of a new Works Progress Administration is floating around among the left.  Here's what one proponent has to say about it.

 

Pro-Amnesty advocates are trying to push for amnesty under Obama.

 

Mark Steyn is less optimistic than most conservatives, and with good reason, that the United States still cares about liberty.

 

While the Democrats are trying to push the Fairness Doctrine (even though some think it would be difficult given modern technology), none of their cohorts in the navel gazing, uppity mainstream media have mentioned it.

Sarah Palin is not interested in filling the potentially vacant Senate seat from Alaska.  Good; she'll be a lot better if she doesn't have to deal with 99 prima donnas in the Senate.

 

Georgia legislators are looking at potentially changing some election rules, including cutting back on the amount of time available for early voting.

 

Construction on the G-RAMP project will begin as soon as they find funding for it.

 

Macon Mall security officers are using motor-trikes in an attempt to cut down on crime at the mall.

 

Warner Robins Mayor Donald Walker is indeed back, and he's not very happy with the way he was treated by the City Council.

 

There was a series of fights in Warner Robins yesterday afternoon, and immediately the police department made arrests and started to look into possible gang activity.  Compare that to Macon, where there "is no gang problem."

 

Georgia Baptists apparently don't have anything better to do with their time than enforce their no-female-pastors rule.
