I remember an interview a few years back on NPR. A guy was making the case that GM should become the biggest lobbyist for universal healthcare. They spend more $$ per car manufactured on healthcare (current employee and retiree) than they do on steel. It's hard for them to compete against automakers whose employees have so much of that paid by their governments.

Black Man Given Nation's Worst Job

Mostly I paid attention to cnn.com. I usually prefer NBC, but their cyber studio was almost impossible to watch, plus no Tim Russert made them much less compelling. I must say that I enjoyed Morning Joe (Scarborough) on MSNBC this morning. Are they recounting in MN? Coleman leads Franken by 570 votes!

I remember a hilarious news conference that Dave Berry held at the National Press Club about a week after Clinton's inauguration during which he constantly referenced "the failed Clinton Administration".

Best post on this thread!

How'd that guy get through security?

As a conservative, I feel that the appointments of Roberts and Alito were the among the only truly conservative acts of Bush's administration. I do think Stevens will make it 10 more weeks.

Ha! I told my wife he'd be announcing his retirement at about 12:01 PM, January 20, 2009.

Boy is there a lot of hyperbole on this board today. I am glad that we elected our first African-American president last night. I have hope that he can make some positive change, especially in restoring our reputation abroad. I suggest all who believe he be the panacea to all of our problems please read Article II of you Constitution. His power is limited. We elected a president. Not a pharaoh, a king, or deity, but a president. Humanity has a habit of building up heroes only to knock them down. This county faces huge problems. Let's enjoy the moment, but have a little perspective.

Mostly because the problems with elections in 80s when they projected winners while polls in CA were still open. Obama will be the projected winner by about 10:05 CST.

One of my 7th grade students was somewhat incredulous that the homeless could vote.

Saw a commercial for this last night.

Same in Des Moines.

Agreed. Cindy as the QVC model was great. She may have another career on her hands. Although her expression seemed so blank I wondered if she had fallen off the pain pill wagon.

From Tom Friedman's column today:

Our kids actually slept in this morning. Yesterday, my son woke up at 6 am, which would've translated to 5 this morning. He made it until almost 7. The sun was actually up, yea!!

Their voices were made for each other!

Bloom County was good back in the 80s. It didn't age as well as Doonesbury. The new Opus strip was unreadable. Still, lots of love for Breathed. His early work is a great career unto itself.
