Trouble in Detroit
The auto industry in Michigan doesn’t have many crying for it.
The strangest thing about the crisis in the American auto industry is this: Nobody outside of Detroit seems to care.
Apparently things are more complicated than first blush.
Power of Stern
Is there any doubt who helped Sirius reach these heights?
Record Subscriber Additions of Approximately 2.2 Million in 2005 - Satellite Radio Market Share Leader For The Fourth Quarter With More Than 1.1 Million Subscriber Additions - SIRIUS Expects To End 2006 With More Than 6 Million Subscribers.
Sorry, Canadians need not apply if interested in Howard.
Dogs before people
Amazing how some idiots put their pets before their children.
A married couple who got a dog sitter for their puppies but left the man’s young children home alone while they vacationed in Las Vegas were arrested Wednesday, police said.
The kid seems pretty smart, though.

A moon is a moon
JWalk has an amusing entry.
Good new for Marylanders: Mooning deemed ‘disgusting’ but legal in Maryland.
Acquitting a Germantown man who exposed his buttocks during an argument with a neighbor, a Montgomery County Circuit Court judge ruled yesterday that mooning, while distasteful, is not illegal in Maryland.
Put a stake in it?
I wonder if the RCMP investigation will be the turning point in the election, or if it’s just another speedbump in the endless corruption that people simply expect from Dithers and Co.

Tell it like it is
Wente explains that the PC white elite don’t want to call a spade a spade: the gun crime problem is a black, Jamaican problem. Just talk to any Jamaican in Toronto.
The violent culture of Jamaica sheds far more light on Toronto’s gun-and-gang problem than Mr. Harris’s cruel decision to shut down the Anti-Racism Secretariat.
One day I’ll post some of the info a Jamaican told me about how things work in Kingston, Jamaica.
Perhaps our whiny elite in charge of crime should check that out before begging for more money.
BTW: when does that statue of limitations run out on blaming Harris?
Here is Hebert’s column.
The enthusiastic turnout at Tookie Williams’s funeral tells you much of what you need to know about the current state of black leadership in the U.S.
Dither’s Desperation
MMMMmmmmmm...I love the smell of blood...liberal blood.
Prime Minister Paul Martin appeared to be fighting for his political life today,
You know that if the Star notices, things must be bad.
15 Things to do at Wal-Mart
15 Things to do at Wal-Mart while your spouse/partner is taking their
sweet time:
1. Get 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people’s carts when
they aren’t looking.
2. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute
intervals.
3 Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the rest rooms.
4 Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone, ‘Code 3’
in housewares..... and see what happens.
5 Go the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M’s on lay away.
6 Move a ‘CAUTION - WET FLOOR’ sign to a carpeted area.
7 Set up a tent in the camping department and tell other shoppers you’ll
invite them in if they’ll bring pillows from the bedding department.
8 When a clerk ask s if they can help you, begin to cry and ask ‘Why
can’t you people just leave me alone?’
9 Look right into the security camera; use it as a mirror, and pick your
nose.
10 While handling guns in the hunting department, ask the clerk if he
knows where the anti-depressants are.
11 Dart around the store suspiciously loudly humming the “Mission
Impossible” theme.
12 In the auto department, practice your “Madonna look” using different
size funnels.
13 Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, say “PICK ME!
PICK ME!”
14 When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, assume the fetal
position and scream “NO! NO! It’s those voices again!!!!”
(And last but not least!)
15 Go into a fitting room and shut the door and wait a while; and, then,
yell, very loudly, “There is no toilet paper in here!”
Canadian Stern fans go grey
Add me to the list of those who won’t put up with the government regulation of speech and choose choice.
As many as 80,000, by some estimates, are signing on to the U.S. service via “grey market” U.S. billing addresses just to get American receivers that will pick up Stern.
Canadians will never learn.

End of the Western World
Mark starts the new year out with a bang: laying out the doomsday timetable for the Western (European) world.
Most people reading this have strong stomachs, so let me lay it out as baldly as I can: Much of what we loosely call the western world will survive this century, and much of it will effectively disappear within our lifetimes, including many if not most western European countries
Paging George Jetson
The future is getting closer.
One of the most breathlessly anticipated revolutions in aviation is poised to take off in 2006, as new super-fast, relatively cheap airplanes called ``very light jets” finally go into service.

Back to the drawing board
Here’s another great idea that seems too good to be true.
If you have an envious streak, you probably shouldn’t read this.
Is the dot billionaire era returning?
What’s so funny?
Need a translator for this video, but even if it’s just a gag, it’s real funny.
This guy tries to do an interview but keeps laughing. Warning, after watching this a couple times you may start to laugh along.

Freakshow 2006
I don’t know what was more freakish: Dick Clark’s return to TV or Mariah Carey’s gross DD chest.
Clark, sitting behind a desk with the street scene in the background, sounded hoarse and occasionally was hard to understand, but he said, “I wouldn’t have missed this for the world.”
Happy New Year 2006!
Update: Someone always says it better.
