Outsourcing Phase II: Senior Management
Now, I know, you're thinking, how can an American Car Company build cars overseas? Of course they can't. That's not an american car company any more. The only thing keeping it "american" is that the owners are americans, but why bother with owners? Lets outsource senior management!
The New York Times
For man years the Times has been the paper of record for the country. If it's true, the Times printed it. If it's not true, the Times printed that it wasn't true. Today, the Times - the New York Times - is a worthless rag that couldn't tell you what the President said in his most recent speech.

But where is he during his own "Localism and Diversity" public hearing?
Bush stands there like Alfred E. Neuman, saying, "What, me worry?"
The great Newt Gingrich ploy - Don't give a regulatory agency enough money to do its job, and then when things come unstuck, announce that regulation doesn't work - is working like a charm as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac come unglued.

The culture of cronyism that allows arms-industry executives to pull down multimillion-dollar compensation packages while wounded veterans are shunted into makeshift medical wards has to end.
