New angle on Tiananmen Square's Tank Man
The NY Times recently had a very good article on the 4 images of the "tank man" of Tiananmen Square.
After reading that article Terril Jones contacted the Times to show them a picture he had been sitting on for years. That photo gives us a whole new angle on this man's stand against the tanks.
You can read the story behind the photo in the NY Times article

Do Not Bail Out The Auto Industry
I know it is easy to ask the government for free cash right now since they are seemingly so willing to hand it out but is it really a good idea?
The auto industry has made bad business decisions year after year. They keep designing cars/trucks that people don't like. They have been refusing to up mileage and keep paying money to congress to prevent such limits. They need to buckle down and produce vehicles people want. Cut back on the number of models so you can perfect the ones you sell. Invest in alternative fueled vehicles and high mileage vehicles. You should be able to make money. People would love to buy American but with so many alternatives that are better than your product and cheaper than your product it is just impossible to do so.
The problem starts at the top. The executives need to show some initiative and make some serious changes in their plan. These companies do not need to be saved if they can't save themselves!

More help for automakers?
Obama suggested more help for auto industry
Hey, how about we take their financial troubles as a chance to help them fix the problem they have been ignoring. That is right, time to for them to make better cars! Specifically more high-mpg cars and more hybrid advances to help ease our dependency on oil. We could offer money/bailout only if they made such changes. You would think an auto company would be interested in making money yet they keep pumping out cars that people don't want. Take this opportunity as a time to make change.

Obama Wins ...
But does America?
I am terrified that we elected this man mainly for his race. This might not be true. Many people could think that he would make an excellent president, but I was not sold on him. He seemed a bit to swarmy for me. I know that is a trait of a politician but I still wasn't sold. Oh well, he won and I hope he can bring this country back from the depths that Bush and Cheney tried to bury it.

Matt Damon Speaks Out Against Sarah Palin
He cites 1 out of 3 chance that McCain dies while in office causing a very real chance of Palin becoming president.
Of course I only base my political beliefs on what those in Hollywood tell me so right now I am leaning towards Obama ...
Ok, so in reality I like to make my own opinions but I too am concerned with Sarah Palin as president. I would not vote for her but due to McCains's health and age I feel that I need to be very careful about the VP. That is why I think he should've gone a much safer route. Of course he may be trying to pull in the Hilary supporters that are refusing to vote for Obama since Hilary didn't get the nomination. I think that is a sad situation if her followers indeed voted for the other party just because they didn't want to vote for Obama.
I still like McCain more than Obama but the Palin worries me and I do NOT want her to be in office so I have a dilemma.
