we are going to get a car czar
in national news:
looks like they’re gonna give the auto industry money that was set aside to promote fuel efficiency. this is the compromise, a nice little parting “fuck you” to Nancy Pelosi from the White House. dirty San Francisco hippie.
the auto industry, like a junkie on payday, will chug this cash down and pass out in an alley, and then show up bleary-eyed, sober, and in pain again in a few weeks.
everyone and your mother has heard about charges against Blagojevich in Ill. right?
it’s comical, how much he tried to peddle influence. he effectively tried to sell a Senate seat, and leaned on the Chicago Tribune (which declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy Monday, it should be noted) to reshape its editorial board into something that wouldn’t criticize him. tried to get a concrete company to donate $500 grand to his political campaign chest, or else he would fuck up its involvement in a massive Ill. toll road project. leaned on the chief executive of a children’s hospital for cash, too, or else he’d withhold funds.
this is epic.
you gotta hand it to the man: if you’re gonna be corrupt, be corrupt. nothing half-assed about this guy, including his haircut.
ok. I gotta go to the DMV. no, it’s alright; I know what I’m doing.
