I wonder what percentage of GM and Ford’s U.S. sales are to people qualifying for the employee discount?
I agree with George Will who states that WW II got us out of the recession, not the New Deal.
President-elect Obama is upsetting the left and of course can’t please the right anyway. This makes me smile as I’ve been hoping for a centrist.
When it comes to politics and religion together, I’m weary of evangelical Republicans. With that said, I have no problem with Pastor Rick Warren’s role in the inauguration because I see this as an attempt to work across the aisle for one America.

Since the Democrats are running Congress, how long will it take (and at what $ cost) to investigate various abuses of power in the Bush administration? Personally, I hope they stay away from it.

- How could Pete Rose be declared “no longer eligible” when he was never eligible?
