Shorts

I’m working on a post in my head about Thanskgiving. Maybe I’ll have time to write it down tonight as I don’t have to be anywhere tonight. I don’t have to pack or paint or rehearse. So what am I going to do? Cook and sit. Aaaah.

GM President Fritz Henderson says that bankruptcy is not an option because “we do not want to give consumers a reason not to buy our cars and trucks.” Um… Consumers already have a reason not to buy your cars and trucks: They suck.

Going bankrupt didn’t force US Airways, Delta, Northwest, or United out of business. If you’re so certain it will force you out of business, then… well… You’ve got bigger problems and should probably just go under now and save the taxpayers their money.

In 1789, the governor of Australia granted land and some animals to James Ruse in an experiment to see how long it would take him to support himself. Within 15 months he had become self sufficient. The area is still known as Experiment Farm. This is my Experiment Farm to see how long it will take me to support myself by writing.
