Happy Belated and still Waiting for my Bailout

Which of course won't happen anytime soon. The latest group asking for a bailout is the porn industry. Yeah, the porn industry! Granted it's nothing more than a publicity stunt which apparently took hold. I mean, c'mon folks when Anderson Cooper from CNN talks about it I guess it's legit then. Who cares about the porn industry getting a bailout anyway right? Either way they're getting what they want: fucked. In this tough economic climate I think it's time to update some of the companies out there to reflect how their business is really doing. Have to start with the Big 3 auto guys. Ever since they first landed (that's right-landed) in their private jets in order to ask for a handout you knew something didn't look right. If you believe in your product why not drive it to Washington instead of flying? Here's the updated logo now from Ford Motors. Even the wealthy manufacturers are not exempt as witnessed here from Ferrari. How many horses are under the hood for that brand? Good Year hasn't exactly been that for them and Nokia needs to ask themselves, "Can anyone hear us now?" By the way here in California there's talk of having all cellphone use banned while driving regardless if you use a hands free device or not. I doubt that bill will ever see the light of the bay.Cellphone use and driving cars are too closely intertwined with one another so any politician wanting to get elected or re-elected will probably elect to pass on that bill. It'll be interesting to see what happens with the second half of the 700 billion dollar bailout that has been earmarked to help those than just the financial institutions. This time there will be more accountability before the money is parceled out. What happened with the first 350 billion dollars? As taxpayers will someone tell me if that money will ever be paid off?
