Did You See That?????

What the hell was that? That big blue blurr. I've never seen anything that big move that fast. It's an SEIU member, that's what that was. Usually you can't get a union member to move faster that an arthritic snail's pace, but just try to go up against one of their leaders (or stand in the way of the snack machine) and you'll see the blind, mindless zombies take flight. Just think how cheap and well made our American cars would have been if they built them with such intensity. We sure as hell wouldn't have needed a bailout for em.
People have had it with Great Leader's plan for healthcare/life span, so they are letting their elected officials know it. But wait one dog gone minute there. Messiah won't have dissent among the minions. No siree bobcat tail. You try that and he'll get on prime time tv to disspell any notion that his plan isn't what you must have. Unless he makes some kind of racist remark, then things will get a little sidetracked. But, after one of his life lessons, things will get rolling again.
More rumblings of malcontent? Dismiss it. Still more rumblings? Even louder? Sik the unions on em. Have em get it their faces. Why not? It worked in his campaign for King of the United States. Only this time, send a message. That message? Chicago style. That message.
And, so it was done in St Louis. A man handing out 'Don't Tread On Me' flags outside a townhall style meeting was knocked down in the street, beat and kicked repeatedly by goons from the SEIU. This is what it has come to........so far. Our President getting involved with personal issues between police and his pal, and sending out hits on citizens. Not to mention his soliciting information on anyone that would dare speak out against his plans.

There Goes My New Car

Guess I won't be trading in that 05 Chrysler this year. We were going to wait until next Spring to buy a new car, but the deals over in Lake Elmo are almost too good to pass up.
I thought for sure the Fiat deal was going to go through. No one, as of yet, has risked their knee caps and gone against the Obama administration. It looked like O's union pals were going to get more than their fare share of another car company until Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg grabbed em by their blue collars. Ginsburg said in an order that the sale is "stayed pending further order." That's right, the Supreme Court Ginsburg.
Seems a trio of Indiana state pension and construction funds, which hold a small part of Chrysler's debt, have been fighting the sale, claiming that it unfairly favors Chrysler's unsecured stakeholders ahead of secured debtholders like themselves. (ala Breitbart) The funds also are challenging the constitutionality of the Treasury Department's use of money from the Troubled Asset Relief Program to supply Chrysler's bankruptcy protection financing. They say the government did so without congressional authority. WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORITAAAAA! (ala Cartman)
Now Saturn was going to be lost, (we were told) but it turns out they had sixteen different offers to buy the brand. Hummers are all but sold to China, so what makes you think Chrysler won't get an offer or two. They're difinitely a better performing car than a Saturn and out performs them in the safety field by far.
I haven't talked to my salesman in Lake Elmo since Judge Ruth's newsbreaker today, but my guess is he's not too happy about this. I would tell him to pull his chin up cuz I don't think Chrysler is going anywhere. I most likely won't get the sweet, sweet deal I've been looking at, but at least we'll have a quality car to look at next year.
Now all we have to do is convince the clowns in Detroit, that are under the Messiah's thumb, not to throw away the lives of all the people at the dealership and everyone affected by closing it down. (for no damn reason)
