John McCain Says Quit Bailing Out Banks

The Really: Let them fail? Really? Why not just make them lend?

Senator John McCain went on a Fox talk show this weekend and has come to the conclusion that we need to stop bailing out GM, AIG or even the banks. Fine for a man with a big enough mattress to hide his money in but has anyone thought of the dislocations this would cause. And is this a suggestion for a national bank? Holy Constitution Batman!

Forget GM. I Want A LincVolt!

The Really: Neil Young is making the coolest electric car in history?

Put on the Cinnamon Girl and click the link to see how the Y of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young has dedicated his money to an electric car enterprise that does what no other electric has done before it. The Lincvolt is awesome. Young also looks at the state of electrics and what should be done about the Detroit bail-out. Keep on rocking in the free world Neil!

Maybe We Should Call You Neel "Cash-and-Carry?"

The Really: Neel Kashkari (Assistant Bailout Czar) needs a bailout from the crazy mean Congressmen today.

Congressmen tear Neel a new one. Video to follow.
"I assure you the secretary is passionate about this," Kashkari said.
"Passionate about what?" Kucinich said.
"About helping homeowners," Kashkari replied.
"Where?" Kucinich asked, sarcastically. "What country?"
"We are using all the tools available to ease the credit crises," Kashkari said. "Let me give you an example..."
Kucinich interrupted Kashkari and continued his harangue.
"Maybe this is a game to some people in the administration. They're on their way out of office and they can do whatever they want," said Kucinich who tried to launch impeachment proceedings against Bush. "Meanwhile, people are hoping against hope" for help with their mortgages.

Dear GM: That Hummer Was A Great Idea

The Really: You still make that thing?

Saying that GM deserves to get a bailout (Hey! Whatever happened to the bad mortgages getting taken care of) has as much support from the general public as Sarah Palin getting an invitation to a Mensa meeting. It just SEEMS wrong.

Yet it will still be cheaper to save them than to let them go under. But who is answering the questions about how the bailout monies are being used?

Your Tax Dollars At Work

The Really: According to documents produced on Capitol Hill today in the AIG bailout hearing, the company took a week off and went to California to ponder things recently and spent $440,000 dollars in the process.

Speechless. Here is a link.
