I love my older cars. Who needs all that stupid electronic computerized junk anyway? It just makes it more expensive to repair. (Good for repair shops). Taking perfectly good running older cars off the road is just a waste of precious resources anyway. More production of new cars just chews up the environment.

Way off topic:
Three phases of the 21st century decline and fall of the depraved Republican Party:
1. Goosestepping right along with the Bush gangster regime and all their criminality. Supporting Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld’s torture, treason and tyranny from Jan. 2001 to Jan. 2009.
2. After falling out of power in the November 2008 Elections, the Republicans become the Party of No and the Goofy Obstructionist Party.
3. Six months after losing their dictatorial powers of the Bush White House, right-wing extremist Republicans start a campaign of domestic terrorism by murdering a doctor and a policeman.

GOP, 1854 - 2009. R. I. P.

Cash for Clunkers is mostly another welfare for the wealthy and well-off program named to make it seem as if its for the not-so well-off, who are lets face it the folks who drive a clunker or more likely ride the bus or the tubes.

The use of the word “old” is pure propaganda depending for its truth value on the meaning that your current vehicle is your “old” one as compared to the new one you are going to buy. You might have bought it off the showroom floor yesterday, but it’s still your old car and, we would all hope, not a clunker. Pfft!

What this program really should be called is: Trade in Your Hummer For Something Not So Environmentally Egregious, Asshole, and We’ll Give You a Tax Break. But Hummer owners are probably not concerned with an insignificant tax break and the likelihood that they care about the environment, anything, or anyone else other than their own desires is probably close to zip.

So, really, this is at best political bullshit.

I called Ann Kirkpatrick’s office this morning and pointed out the Supplemental has money in it to bail out European banks, and asked if she would vote for it if it contained that money.
The staffer said she was leaning against it; I said good, then I said:

honestly I want her to vote against it because I am a liberal and I think we should be tying war money to timetables, but from previous experience I know Ann Kirkpatrick doesn’t care what I think, and I know she cares a whole lot about Republicans, and they are going to claim she is bailing out European banks if she votes for this bill.

The staffer laughed and said he didn’t think that was necessarily true, but admitted that Republicans would try to frame a vote that way.
It was among the most amiable conversations I have had with a congressional staffer to tell the truth.
