As a matter of fact, the automotive and now retail industries are pushing for their own bailouts. Why not? The government is redistributing all of our money to corporations in finance, should they do the same for every other industry? The CEO of JC Penny's certainly thinks so.

I can not expect those who are not in a Motorcycle Club to understand what this really means! Twenty years ago this would have struck fear into the soul of every US Citizen! Today I am sure most, probably, will not even hear about it and those that do will probably not care! What has happened to the good ole USA?

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 17:22:32 EDT http://www.affsphere.com/Politics-and-Government/Movie-Review-An-American-Carol.html http://www.affsphere.com/Politics-and-Government/Movie-Review-An-American-Carol.html Looking at the guest list attending Barack Obama?s Hollywood fundraiser earlier this month, and the fact that he raised $9 million from the event, would seem to corroborate the general notion that Hollywood is fairly liberal. Not being liberal makes it difficult for me to stomach anything that comes to the theater with a political theme. However, a new David Zucker film called "An American Carol" breaks the mold. It's a rare conservative movie that makes us question the freedoms many of us take for granted. Given widespread anti-American sentiment around the world, including a general antipathy at home, this movie provides a refreshing look at "what it means to be an American in an anti-American world."

Surely, you want to make the most of your earnings especially when times are tough. To get the best values when buying merchandise you must be aware of unique places to buy items that are inexpensive and of high quality. One place you probably haven't considered is government surplus auctions. These can be either on-line (so you can bid from home) or on-location auctions. Interestingly enough they have a wider range of items then you'd expect including things such as cars and trucks, furniture and fixtures, jewellery, electronics, exercise equipment, machinery, etc. Wed, 24 Sep 2008 07:55:13 EDT http://www.affsphere.com/Politics-and-Government/Michelle-Obama-Her-Story.html http://www.affsphere.com/Politics-and-Government/Michelle-Obama-Her-Story.html Michelle was born on 17 January, 1964 in Chicago Illinois.

The question was, "Is it Al Gore stupid or Michael Moore stupid to believe in global warming?" Although the question might be considered distasteful, it is not at all surprising if you have been following the political debates over the environmental movement. It's become very common for arguments to be riddled with name calling and belittling with no real substance. These attacks fly around the airwaves and on the internet in emails and blogs.
