Barry Crimmins - Humvee crisis grips USA!

When I first heard the news of the GM Strike yesterday (barely, underneath the cacophony of the Ahmadinejadpalooza), I had to pause ...

Wow, I thought, we're still making cars here ... We still actually have autoworkers ...

I suppose, it's just a matter of time before we start importing them - and likely heavily-bathed in lead paint - from China ...

Perhaps Ken Burns, riding high at the moment with his PBS documentary "The War" (Note to The Commander Guy - A real war), can begin working on his next project, a sepia-drenched, 'The Big Three',

I'm sure there's plenty of grainy, Super-8 home movies that will fill hours, upon hours, letting us, wistfully, look back at the day when Americans were gainfully employed, building American products, for other Americans, and an international consumer base, who looked America, at that time, as the beacon of light for a better life.

They look elsewhere now, and thanks to the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and the corporation cronies, that beacon has turned into a search light, sweeping the land, looking for the last few pennies laying on the ground that they can swoop in to stuff into their fattened corporate wallets ...

I digress ...
