General Motors New Campaign

So hey!!... I see GM has a new commercial out where they brag about the fact that they paid back their loan! Well woopity freaking doo!

So, does anyone remember the fact that they asked for a bail out TWICE? So... anyone wanna guess where they came up with the money to pay back their (ahem.. FIRST) loan? Doh! you guessed right!... all they did was shift the debt from the first loan to the second loan... used the second loan plus some interest from it to pay the government back.

So now they can pretend to be all out of debt and free to make cars America really wants to walk past on their way to the Volkswagen Dealership... or Honda dealership... or maybe even a Toyota dealership (brave souls)

GM = FAIL... but, unfortunately for most uninformed Americans... they'll get away with the lies... too bad.

Quitting Smoking

SO yah... April 21st 2010 @ 4:00 PM EST I decided to quit smoking.

If you have never started smoking - don't start!

If you already smoke - don't quit!!

This "cold turkey" bullshit is beyond explaining how impossible it is to think straight, function, etc etc... this sucks with a capital SUCK.

Somehow I think I'll survive... if nothing else I'll maybe have a smoke every now and then.... or try some nic gum or patches... possibly that SNUS shit they have from Camel... something to take the edge off when I need a stress reliever.

April Fools...

Yah, so... survived April Fools Day.

Now it's "Good Friday" which is basically just another reason for banks and government employees to take a day off.

My big question is... if we have this separation of church and state thing... why are all the religious, quasi religious, and whatever holidays always the perfect time for banks and government to take the day off?

I mean shit... Congress has "recess" more often than my 6yr old daughter does... and she doesn't get paid $100,000+ a year to go to school!
