Our country's obsession with bailing stuff out of late is crazy dumb. It actually might of been good for wall street because its the same as if some one invested 23 billion dollars in it. But, the bail out for the auto-industry is a terrible idea.
The reason why this is bad is that if they're going down its just delaying the inevitable. If they're going to pull out of this mess, with the gas prices the way they're heading now I don't see why not, they will and the peoples investing in the auto industry is simply a waste of money.
All three of the "big three" could afford to drop some brands. I mean for Ford, they can drop Mercury, there top seller is basicaly a Torus. GM could drop Pontiac, acourse Chevy would have to absorb the solstice. And Chrysler could drop some of there sedan models.
My only fear is what a merger would do to the level of competion in NASCAR. They're already banning testing this year. I'm really begining to fear the future of my favortie sport.

Bipartisanship: The Change We Need Or a Threat to Democracy
Recently, mostly from the "MTV: I'm a kid but you should pretend that I matter" crowd, there has been an increase in the desire for bipartisanship in our elected leaders. Well, most of them want that to be cool. I mean the whole new thing is that everyone matters and all that. Others know that bipartisanship actually leads to more quaky liberal believes actually being put into law. People who reach across the isle for practically everything are must are weak politicians who would give into what the masses want. When, in reality bipartisanship is a direct violation for the reason why we vote in the officials in the first place.
We vote in officials via democratic vote so that they will represent us and our values and beliefs. Just take this as an example Senator A is pro-life, Senator B is pro-choice. They work together on a bill to make the limit on abortion at say around 5 months into the pregnancy. That's the kind of compromise that bipartisanship calls for. Think about it from both sides if either should truly be happy with the said compromise. The pro-life would be outraged that any life could be legally terminated at any point past conception. Whereas the pro-choice side would be insulted that there rights were limited to confine when they could terminate a pregnancy to only a few months.
The point is why would you elect someone into office just to compromise your believes. You should want partisanship to the max if you're voting make sure that who ever you vote for will stand up for you know matter what. If you vote for officials who support bipartisanship just expect for know one to get what anyone wants. That is deffently not a democratic republic.

The First Black...........
FIA Formula One World Cup Champion is Lewis Hamilton. He won it November 8th by a tie for the smallest margin of point victory in the history of F1, 1 point. He is a stunning young driver and has a lot of potential. He's the one who will be remembered for breaking the color barrier in the international racing circuit. Unlike in America where black people have been racing in our circuits, the ignorant Eurotrash refuse to give up their racist ways.
It's kind of ironic how we're meant to believe that the USA is the most racist country in the world when a black driver isn't even treated poorly at European venues such as Germany and Spain. However he was treated well at Silverstone, England and in Australia, the Asian countries loved him. But, the typical central-east European bum just won't put away their prejudges. Wake up America, we're are truly the most integrated country in the world. never let other people convince you otherwise.

A Joke I Read on Facebook
Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey were flying on Obama's private plane. Obama looked at Oprah, chuckled and said, 'You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy.' Oprah shrugged her shoulders and replied, 'I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy. Michelle added, 'That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy.' Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-pilot, 'Such big-shots back there. Shit I could throw all of their asses out of the window and make 56 million people very happy.'
I'll right about the past week's happenings tommrow and all that lead up to it. Historic week for black people, and no, I don't mean Tuesday, I mean suday.

Rundown of This Weekend In Racing (7/20-22)
This will be a new Wednesday thing were I rundown whats going on in the six racing circuits I follow. Wow, six, I don't have a life. But anyways, those six are: NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, Formula 1, IndyCar Series's Indy Racing League, and the American Le Mans Series. I will present them in no particular order
This weekend the Sprint Cup makes a run down at Infeneon Raceway. This oughta be interesting race and a must see. Kyle Busch has the point lead followed by Burton, Earnhardt, Edward and Johnson round out the top five. Jr. is coming off of a his fathers day victory at Michigan. But really the interesting part will be seeing what Juan Montoya does. I think he'll drive to aggressively and spin out. Also Tony Stewart fights to get off the 12th in points bubble. You can catch this race on TNT, who have done a great job this year so far, airing at 2:30 p.m. CT.
The Nationwide series visits this Milwaukee Mile this weekend. Kyle Busch, despite Being 5th in points will not run this race. Bowyer, the rookie sensation Brad Keselowski,Reutiman,and Edwards are infront of him in the points standings . Milwaukee is a fast track and watching the leaders navigate through lap traffic will be very entertaining. Watch this race as you get beat to death by the crew at ESPN 2 Saturday at 7 p.m. CT.
The Truck Series opens for the Nationwide at Milwaukee. Rowdy Busch also is dropping this ride this weekend to avoid the long flight from California to Wisconsin. The points race is pretty tight in this series with Benson, Bodine, Crafton, and Crawford making up the top five and points. This will be a yellow fest. This race is aired on Speed TV Friday at 7:30 p.m. CT.
Formula 1 visits the dirty, dirty country of France. Only 4 points separate BMW Saubers Kubica with 42 points from McClaren-Mercedes Hamilton and Ferrari's Massa who are tied. BMW Sauber enjoys a three point lead over Ferrari and McClaren is 20 points behind Sauber. This weekend watch for duking out between the top three drivers. But, keep your eye on Heiki Kovalienen of McClaren who is coming off a win in Canada. Kovalienen needs to step it up to avoid BMW Sauber and Ferrari from running away with the points. Wake up early to catch this race on Speed TV Sunday morning at 7 a.m. CT.
The IRL goes to flood ravaged Iowa this weekend. Dixon, Casterneves, Wheldon, Kanaan and Briscoe make up the top five and points. The top three seem to be running away from this. No one from the Andretti Green camp seems to be doing much with the exception of Kanaan. Marco Andretti spun out with the lead last week. It will be interesting to see how he bounces back from that. That race will be covered by ESPN 2 Sunday afternoon at 2 CT. Yeah, thats right the same time as the NASCAR race. Wow, real good scheduling. But really this race is good fore the area that has been torn apart by floods recently.
American Le Mans has the week off following a pretty good 24 Hour of Le Mans last weekend with Acura Taking the P1 class and Aston Martin taking the GT1. There was no American entries in either P1 or P2 meaning Penske stayed home despite winning last years P2. Corvette finished about a half a lap behind in the GT1 class.
Now you you know whats going on in the world of racing this weekend. Check back Monday for a review of all the action and switch ups in the point standings.

Let The Race Begin (I address the each canidates position on federal taxation)
Well, it's been official for about two weeks now; running for the white house in 2008 will be the Republican senator from Arizona, John McCain, and the Democratic senator from Illinois, Barrack Hussein Obama. In the following months I'll try to cover the campaign in my blog. For the three or for some ought people who read this you'll know how i feel about each candidate on pretty much every issue.
I believe that the Dems primary did in fact harm the parties unity. I'm not the only one saying this, any one with half a brain could see that for themselves. Hillary folks don't like Obama. They see his in experienced. Either they'll come out and vote for McCain or they'll stay home. The only prayer that the Obama camp has getting these people out is the Obama/Clinton ticket. No endorsement from Clinton could get them out.
Now I'll adress those out there who believe that the conservatives won't come out for McCain because he's isn't conservative enough. Think about it, conservative Americans are patriotic and they will take advantage of there right to vote. If anything they'll vote for McCain out of fear of having a socialist president.
Yes, boys and girls, you read it right. Barrack Obama is a socialist. One the other side of the ticket will be McCain who promises to keep taxes low for Americans. Yeah, Obama said he'll eliminate income tax for the lower quatrain of the America's wealth class but that's less than 10%. On the other hand he's raising the income tax for what seems to be the top 40% of American households. Assuming that most of the people who read this go or have gone to a private school this means the spendable money that your family has will go down. That money will be used in a social systems that encourage laziness. Obama has mentioned intent to increase unemployed benefits. Yeah, that will get people out to get jobs. Obama will also tax major corporations in this country who make "to much profit". This is what makes him dangerous. You know who else wanted to control wealth? Do you have any idea? A former nation known as the USS *freakin* R. Yeah, that oughta be some fuel for thought before you blindly endorse that man.
