ITS BEGINNING TO LOOK ALOT LIKE BULLSHIT

Everyday I get pissed off at something or someone, we all do. Most times it lasts a few minutes and is over and is not really worthy of mention. We move on and hold no bad feelings toward any one thing or person. However, there are other things that really are worthy of mention and they usually get written about on this little slice of insanity we are beginning to know and love.

Today I will state one more time that politics are not what this blog is about, but yet that is what the subject is, politics on the national front.

You see I receive e-mails everyday from people who think they know what they are talking about. Some come with news stories and facts listed with circles and arrows and a paragraph written on each one. Some come with a request to put it on this blog or spread this e-mail to others so that everybody that receives it can also be infected by the ineptitude and ignorance that goes along with it.

I could have very easily turned this into a political soap box long ago and raged against the machine that is Washington, but I have not, as this is supposed to be about our hobby and later in the year I am sure I will have more to rant about than you can imagine.

Today is different, today it is politics, national politics, and all the splendor that is Washington. Early in the year Speaker Pelosi pushed upon us the "Cash for Clunkers" song and dance with a chorus line that included all of our wonderful politicians from the Great State of Maine. Rockettes they ain't, Marx Brothers maybe. In the end with the help of many hobbyists and SEMA it was taken out of the stimulus, only to be brought back to the front under a different name with new band leader Dianne Feinstein doing the California version of Yentyl and it to disappeared. Story over? Not yet.

Enter onto the scene the Auto Bailout Plan from Hell with its little blackmail list of things to do. Again a new bandleader, this time with a different "A" side, a remake of "Hit the Road Jack".
Then we see the "B" side and it's the 3rd version of "Cash for Clunkers". The President of the United States has stated that he wants to work with congress to come up with a Cash For Clunkers buy back incentive to promote new car sales.

This reeks of bullshit in its basic form of fresh and gooey. In my eyes this is another form of the Environmental Green Weenies that we all want to leave in the woods and need to stop before we all end up pulling oxcarts with grandma hanging off the back on our 40yr journey through the wilderness with Moses.

Call the Politicians we elected from Maine and tell them want you think. Tell them that its "FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE".

Tell them "The Editor" said so.
