one can only hope

As I am settling into my 'new life' so to speak, it's awesome that gas prices are falling and the snow is starting to roll in. The one thing however that I can't stomach is the crazy bail out and how it's supposed to help the American people... especially the auto industry. I have a strong feeling that no matter how much the CEO's of corporate America fuck up (that big one of taking private jets to meet Congress for the vote comes to mind) that they are still going to get butt loads of money. I don't know how many have been keeping up on it, but this morning I heard a press statement from a gentleman saying 'what were they expecting us to do, drive?' Uhh of course dumbass... or maybe fly commercial if it's that important to get there by air. It's interesting how they are saying their businesses are going under but yet they have private jets!! Who the hell thinks is going to pay for them? Oh are you bummed Mr. CEO man all because you can only have one private jet instead of five, how sad.

Companies are pathetic. I feel like i've been duped when Ford doesn't want to come out with new concept cars like Hybrids or electric running cars. Instead they want to come out with their new F-150. Right, because that's what I want to see in the middle of an energy crisis. A big $40,000 truck that has a 22 gallon gas tank, let me go ahead and start living on the street so you can maintain your ever so lavish lifestyle.

Anyway, I'm done with that. I have been having EXTREME sensitivity to cold, but for some reason I can't help but wish for snow storms. I'm not so much into the 'holiday spirit' as I am wanting to have to scrape my windows and go running through knee high piles of white dust! Hopefully a nice little snow storm will make it's way to me... one can only hope!
