Real Men of Genius...

I don't know about you.... but there isn't much to listen to on the radio anymore. For me, the best part about listening to the radio is to listen to the "Real Men of Genius" commercials from Bud Light. It's sad that commercials are the only good thing on the radio... but oh well. This one really cracked me up...



Here are some others:

Exactly how I feel....

Before you click on the below link I would like to state that I am not a Michael Moore follower. I really liked "Bowling for Columbine" and of course "Roger and Me".... but I haven't seen or didn't like his other movies (I just want to get that out of the way). "Roger and me" was his first documentary before he was part of the "political spotlight"... I highly suggest watching it sometime, especially now with General Motors and Ford on the brink of bankruptcy...

Anyway, he was on Larry King last night and CNN had the transcript this morning. I enjoyed what he had to say because he feels exactly like I do about the issue. Do I want to bail out GM for their bad management over the last 20 years? No..... but the cost of losing GM would cost possibly 1 million people their jobs. If the auto industry ends up getting the money then it should come with some big restrictions.... build more fuel efficient cars, bring jobs back to America, fire the CEO's who got them in this mess, higher some decent designers, and make sure the employees receive some of the benefit of the bailout. It's a tough issue... and I go back and forth everyday. If anyone even reads this blog... let me know how you feel.. I'm on the fence on the issue! I need opinions!

Here's a look back at possibly why Ford and GM are doing so badly... here's just a small sample of the cars they've been producing over the past 20 years:

First Post... my favorite videos

Here are some of the YouTube videos I've been loving lately....

Here is a Pan Am commercial from 1958.... this is just something to think about next time you are between a screaming child and an overweight sleeping man on your next flight.



Here is a great new way to work out:



The new Payton Manning commercial:



I love the internet...
