Realtor Obama, GM Cracks, Your Money and Liberals

On the network news were to related stories that prompted this brief post. One featured an auction at GM’s Heritage Center where about 100 classic, vintage or otherwise special vehicles were on the block. Granted, the story touched the point that the relatively small revenue to be produced at this event does not even register on the company’s balance sheet Richter scale. But the company said it was the responsible thing to do.
I disagree. Since it won’t make any economic difference to GM’s fate it would be more responsible to keep the vehicles where they have been so they may remain satisfactorily protected and preserved and available to those interested.
But the only way it could be responsible is if GM has decided to go bankrupt and some strange arrangement would require selling these items to vultures far lower prices. And that doesn’t seem plausible; not the bankruptcy but the giveaway to vultures.
It was also noted again that the US government is spending $285 million on about 17,600 cars for use by public employees. That comes out to about $17,000 per vehicle. It’s an average but it could cause you to wonder what type of vehicles they are buying and what, if any, is the discount. Remember, you’re paying for it. If you bought that many items would you not want a discount? And what’s wrong with the cars the government has right now? After all, we’re in an economic ‘crisis’, right?
Wasn’t going to mention this one but here it is. In another report Obama is encouraging people to take advantage of low mortgage rates to refinance their loans. What might occur to you at first glance is an old rule of thumb. If you plan on staying put for some time to come you only consider refinance if the % is at least 2 points below what you are paying now. But even with that Obama either failed to mention that closing costs, etc., put an upfront price tag on the refinance or that these loans are provided with no closing costs. On top of that the reporter pointed out that many who would like to cannot because their house is upside down. Meaning when the bottom fell out of the real estate market their home’s value is now less than the mortgage.
Okay the post isn’t so brief and there’s another late addition to this edition. A search result today ended at the Internet Public Library. This was an accidental reminder of books rather than digital equivalents that led to a thought about Mark Levin’s current bestseller. With the search box staring back at one, what can you do? Entering ‘liberty and tyranny’ brought back a list of results and the first one was strange.
“The monthly lesbian and gay newsmagazine for the state of Kansas.” There is also a separate edition for the Kansas City area.
What does that have to do with liberty and tyranny? Don’t even go there. Fortunately the second search result was more to the point.
“Liberty Unbound is the web site for Liberty magazine, the monthly libertarian (classical liberal, or individualist) review of thought, culture and politics. The Nature of Liberty [magazine]
Posts published on this blog can be chosen spontaneously but that is usually limited to the topic and not the nature of the writing. (or ‘typing’ if you must) But it has happened from time to time and may again.
In most cases the posts here present some information and the blog author’s commentary. And of course readers are allowed to reply with comments. But just throwing out a few ideas or a rant from time to time does provide some pleasure.
Okay, reducing power now to standby to aid in minimizing my carbon footprint until the next post for any liberals who may care to read this. .. …. … . … . .. .

Illegal file sharing sites is a topic that seems to never go away. The same could be said of malicious hackers and spam. And let’s not forget about those who want to rule the internet or tax it or overcharge for connection to it and use of it. But in terms of the specific story in this post, a writer being fired for illegally accessing a copy of a not yet released movie. What was he thinking?
But even better is the one million estimate offered on the date in between the other two. It may seem like a small thing and in this case it has the diminished value of who cares? Not so much who cares about the varying, correct or incorrect estimates but who cares about the movie? If you have an appreciation for storytelling or the cinematic experience, whatever that is these days, it is understandable you may be interested in this movie if the genre is your ‘thing’. But no matter what your interests or what you watch or how you fulfill the need to satisfy your personal demand for such leisure pursuits it is tough to argue that Hollywood and other sources for movies rarely fail to disappoint. The hype is also rarely justified after viewing the promoted offering.
Another report of how enthralled (had to add this, enthralled = beguiled, filled with wonder and delight) consumers are with electronics offerings from manufacturers. This post is another attempt to raise some issues regarding consumer electronics. Some long standing criticism from this blog toward those who market electronics and control the infrastructure on which much of it is used range from how internet access is manipulated between what is available, offered and how it is priced to similar issues living in other telecom areas like wireless communication. Have you noticed how cell phones are marketed and its relationship to the primary function of telephones. That’s right. Voice communication between humans has long been the need filled by telephone service. Text messaging, chocolate phones, camera phones and all manner of other bells and whistles have relegated speaking to another on the phone as an afterthought. Could it be that spending the money necessary to offer reliable and quality voice communication does not present the profit margin desired by the providers? Could it be the public has once again allowed the market to be driven by the easily manipulated younger demographic with all that loose change to spend being ‘cool’? The manufacturers know it. Ignore the more demanding demographic for the one you can manipulate and who may have the most discretionary income with the most liberal criteria for purchasing decisions.





Below is a collection of Sarah Palin posts not approved by the MSM or the Obama campaign. The sources are blogs that are featured on Blog @ MoreWhat.com’s Honor Roll. There is an abundance of election related posts on THIS blog since the election is very close now. One might get the impression that the whole country is following the political process with all the tabloid news of Sarah Palin being distributed by the MSM. But that is not likely the case. Hell, the broadcast networks are donating precious little prime time to the conventions. They wouldn’t want public affairs and the future of this country to interfere with reruns and their idea of reality shows. As for their coverage of politics on the MSM, they like to try and throw strikes at Sarah Palin but pitch an intentional walk to Barack Obama.
