I like for example his post on the Car Industry Bail Out: They are BUSINESS’S! Being in business means a lot of things and it also means as a business your going to be required to do a few things if you want to, well stay in business. Let’s face the first reality in regards to this bailout for GM and Chrysler, it won’t make a bit of difference. Give Chrysler another $5 billion, go ahead and give GM $16 billion and you can go ahead and do it another 10 times, it wont make a difference. As a whole the products suck, GM and Chrysler have failed to change with the times and with the trends leaving room for Toyota, Acura and Honda to beat them down in sales year after year.

I can face the reality that the US Tanning Industry nor even Extreme Tan and Smoothies would ever get a bailout or considered for anything like that, my point was aimed more at fixing the problem that caused it in the first place as opposed to slapping band aids on everything.

Instead of giving those giant automakers a multi-billion dollar handout, why not just keep taxes low for everyone, including Extreme Tan and Smoothies. It's frustrating because its as if they're being rewarded for having a broken, bloated business model. GM and Chrysler even have ridiculous union contracts where several hundred employees just show up for work and collect a paycheck without actually doing any work. Each employee like that represents a double-drain on their business. I bet Extreme Tan and Smoothies doesn't have any shenanigans like that going on. Neither does my company. So where's our bailout?

All though the last couple of weeks I have been beyond busy I still find time to hit a few blogs out there and the Constant Complainer in my top three. Hmmm I dont remember hearing Dayna screaming for Machida however I have no doubt that is exactly what Dayna wanted, the perfect "Have a nice life" ending to Tito Ortiz from Dayna White. Machida hands out a pretty severe beating in that fight. The collapse of the Auto Industry would be devastating, however there are car companies out there that I am sure would be more than happy to fill a few advertising shoes. I am a firm believer that the Union destroyed the auto industry with it's fuckin ridiculous rules and standings on certain issues. When one door closes another one opens and if the sad reality for the Auto industry is that Chrysler and GM can't solve their own problems than they should probably rest into the sunset and make room for an other Auto company to move into place. Believe me here when I say I think it sucks royally, I think it's sad it has come to this for Chrysler and GM but sooner or later the realization will have to be made that perhaps time has just passed them by.

Since The Star Celeb told me about it, I've been following and enjoying it every day. Second, Ispeaking of some of your recent UFC posts, I received UFC 84 in the mail today via Netflix. I read somewhere that Dana White said he lost his voice rooting for Lyoto Machida to knock out Tito Ortiz during their fight, so I am getting ready to watch it as we speak! Last, as far as the bailout, I have two thoughts. First, loosing the auto industry, in my opinion, could lead to the collapse of the media industry, because auto advertising is a major source of income for both newspapers and radio stations, and I would hate to see that happen. But in the same breath, the problems with the auto industry are, again, in my opinion, 100% the result of unions. And I have no compassion for the unions who would rather bitch about their contracts than actually try to save a company! Later man! John,
