Will Small Be Beautiful for GM? - WSJ.com
...But a few weeks later, the company reversed course. GM now says it will retool Orion to make compact, gas-sipping cars. The change of heart says a lot about how GM's new owners -- the federal government owns 60% of the company and the United Auto Workers (UAW) owns 17% -- are making considerations other than profitability a top priority for the auto maker.
Something Changed
"I pledge, if asked, to perform non-violent civil disobedience and risk arrest in order to get our leaders to make the right climate-change choices."

Michigan Democrats mindlessly voted for disastrous Cap and Trade Bill - Saginaw, Michigan
The entire Democrat delegation voted for this horrible bill, the one which no one read, and which was amended with a 300-page addition just before the vote. Our elected Democrats thought this was OK. Aside from the obvious deficiencies of the bill itself, they still agreed with the shady, underhanded method of forcing its passage. We apparently don't have a Michigan delegation, but a group of Nancy Pelosi automatons.

I can only hope that voters wake up in time to vote out this mindless group and install some people who think of Michigan first, and not their party leaders.

Rich Miller, 76, of Zanesville, said he, too, is concerned about not just health care, but how the entire system is running.

Miller said he wants to see values in the country returned to the way they were more than a year ago.

"It scares me to death what the people in Washington are doing to us," Miller said. "I voted for Space but when he voted for the Cap and Trade, that was it."

Mark Hicks drove from Athens to tell Space that he's never seen a more irresponsible government.
