Clunkers

So don't get me wrong about this, the "Cash For Clunkers" has some merit to it....you can get up to $4500 for your drivable clunker...and it does clear the US of many carbon dioxide smoking machines, it does clear the path for new cars, it does keep the car companies in production, it does keep the car crashers busy...but the cubing of cars does come at the expense of the American taxpayer...twice it has been funded...and who gets the vouchers? Supposedly mostly the states with the most traffic...Michigan (I suppose GM and Ford?) and California car companies....and what are the people buying with their clunker credit? Top 5 are the Toyota Camry, Toyota Prius, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, and the Ford Focus...Well, you see where I am going with this...and what are the leading clunkers? the Ford Explorer,Ford F150, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Dodge Caravan...is it the Toyota and Honda rigs are better made? Duh...the jury is out on this...

Speaking of juries, Sotomayor was confirmed as the new Supreme Court Justice..."I can't recall that statement..." The Dems controlled the Congress and she didn't have to answer anything...

The answer? Everth Cabrera in the bottom of the 9th...walk off grand slam to punish the Mets (again)!

I have to admit I love football season...and there is a lot of hype on the Chargers and the Aztecs...as well as my team up north, the Ducks...

Tiger on the prowl at Bridgestone...

Clunk, clunk, clunk...er
