The Big Three: Bankruptcy or a Bailout?
In the early days of the 1950s, when the economies of Japan and Germany were in shambles following World War II, Detroit’s automakers had a 95 percent share of the domestic market.
For decades, GM, Ford and Chrysler operated on an outmoded business model, believing they were in the marketplace of the 1950s when they were the only game in town. It’s a well-known fact that the Big Three ignored the threat foreign competitors posed t…Continue

Republican governors are gathered in Miami this week for the annual Republican Governors Association meeting. According to a story on Morning Edition of WBEZ it sounds like they are really thinking hard about how to rebuild their party and make a comeback. Their insights are telling as to just how out of touch the party has been all along.
From Louisiana's Bobby Jindal:
"When the Republican Party is no longer the party of fiscal conservatism, when we start defending spending that we would h…Continue
Record unemployment, yep. Defaulted prime & sub-prime home loans, sure. An unregulated Wall St., absolutely. But why have we given unfair trade balances a pass up until this point? Isn't it safe to say that with tighter trade balance scores of American jobs would have remained State side? And that untold numbers of mortages would have been honored. Just look at some of these numbers.....

Some of you have said 'where is Sweeney' or 'where's my child support payment for this month', well, I got a really bad 3 week cold, flew to Washington DC, vomited on the airplane due to air sickness (it was a turbulent trip), ran the Marine Corps marathon in my worst time ever, and here I am, suckas! Besides that, bankruptcy filings are up, which leaves me with barely enough time to go trick or treating or carve pumpkins. What do I think about the election? I'm happy about it, of course, but if… Continue

Tolerance Over Race Can Spread, Studies Find
By BENEDICT CAREY
Published: November 6, 2008
This was supposed to be the election when hidden racism would rear its head. There was much talk of a “Bradley effect,” in which white voters would say one thing to pollsters and do another in the privacy of the booth; of a backlash in which the working-class whites whom Senator Barack Obama had labeled “… Continue
We have truly accomplished something new and different. It seems these days we are used to seeing world leaders of all colors, but they were always shaking the hand of a white man who led our nation.
Those days are finished.
Barack Obama has not simply changed the face of our leadership, he's become a symbol for the hopes and dreams of millions of Americans of all stripes, shapes, sizes and colors. We can all be proud of his victory, and hope for better days tomorrow - even if our bank account… Continue
Do we ride this out, or start buying fade cream?
We had a nice little run there for a while fellas. Long gone were the 80's, where guys like Al-B-Sure, Chad Johnson, and Prince stood as the Black Male standard of beauty. The 90's were great!! Some how those "high yellow's" were replaced with guys like; Wesley Snipes, Biggie, the "Love will never do without You" Janet Jackson video guy, and yes.....Flavor Flav.
One of the most charged debates in… Continue
Regardless of who you supported throughout this election you cannot deny the importance of this win. It was only 45 years ago that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. made the "I Have A Dream" speech in Washington DC. In the grand scheme of things that was just milliseconds ago that this country was in such turmoil. Here we are 45 years later and the country is in turmoil again. The face of the problem may have changed, but we are still a country that is divided. We are still polarized in our beliefs on… Continue
Isn't it wonderful to see your fellow students from past years expressing themselves as intelligent, productive members of society? I think about some of these people that I deal with and work with(SOME OF WHOM ARE IN CHARGE!) and I thank heaven for a quality J DUBBS EDUCATION!! 2/3 of us probably never stepped foot in a college, but you wouldn't know that from the quality information and discussion that we see on this website!! It is really something to be proud of!! We may have not liked their… Continue
I usually pride myself in being a strong individual who can handle most any situation. However, this time I think my strength was challenged greatly. I Had to rely on faith, knowing that GOD knows Exactly what he is doing and it is not up to us to question his judgement or his actions.
Our (Trina Lewis, Shon Lewis, and mine) mother was called to Heaven 11-02-08 (yesterday). I trust she is in heaven and doing better than ANY of us here on earth. However, she was/is my everything. My mother, my ch… Continue
While I am not an Obama supporter I am very sad for Obama today. I know how much my grandparents have been a part of my life and I can't imagine how he feels having a person so instrumental in his life die one day before his potential presidential win. If he succeeds in becoming the first black President of the United States I know his victory will be bittersweet. What are the chances that she would die just one day short of the end of this long campaign?
Obama's grandmother dies of cancer in… Continue

Dear Red States:
We've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and the entire Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New
California.
To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research… Continue

I don't think it's entirely necessary for me to explain, once again, why I believe that Rashid Khalidi is not a danger to the Republic. I also don't think I have to rehearse the controversial idea that Barack Obama was not, in fact, the Hyde Park chapter president of the PFLP-GC. (That was Rahm Emanuel.) But there's a video out there of Obama saying kin… Continue
