Made in America

Interesting that a company that forces a bankrupt because they can't pay union wages or retirement pensions has enough capital to develop a robot for NASA.  I am speaking of General Motors, of course.  This is the same company that the gubmint bailed out (because they were too big to fail).  This is also the same company that promoted (with hype) their new solution to the world's problems, the overpriced Volt.  Too bad that that capital didn't go to making it so that it could sell for less than $40K plus.  Why would NASA go to GM for a robot, anyway ????

Looks like Continental Airlines is taking advantage of an opportunity, unfortunately the wrong way.  They have decided (in immeasurable wisdom) that they will no longer give out free pretzels in their flights, because it will align Continental with its competitors.  So I thought (stupid, stupid me) that any company would want to stand out from their competition to cause people to want to pick them OVER the competition.  This was their GOLDEN opportunity to offer MORE than their competitors and SCORE for it.

A little boy was doing his math homework.
He said to himself, "Two plus five, that son of a bitch is seven.
Three plus six, that son of a bitch is nine...."
His mother heard what he was saying and asked, "What are you doing?"
The little boy answered, "I'm doing my math homework, Mom."
"And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?" the mother asked.
"Yes," he answered.
Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, "What are you teaching my son in math?"
The teacher replied, "Right now, we are learning addition."
The mother asked, "And are you teaching them to say two plus two, that son of a bitch is four?"
After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, "What I taught them was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four."
