State of the Union

And tonight's the state of the union address.  Yawn.  The pundits are asking what should he say, what should he say, oh what should he say?  But it's meaningless.  Everything he says, so long as he's on script, is completely meaningless.  I'm far more interested in listening to what Paul Ryan's got to say in his response.  Michele Bachmann . . . well, she shore is purdy, but I think we can do without it. 

Let's see.  In other news, the AP is reporting  that Government Motors has a chance of overtaking Toyota in worldwide sales.  Well, considering massive government funding and an all out assault on Toyota from congress and the media last year that's not too surprising.  Now, it's true that Toyota's US sales slightly declined from last year, (and, again, considering the amount of bad press against them, not too surprising) but their worldwide sales were up 18.7% and their worldwide revenues were up 17.8%.  In the first two quarters of FY2011 Toyota's net revenue for automotive operations were a little over 100 billion (after converting to dollars, the actual number is 8,863.6 billion yen) while GM revenues for the same two quarters were 62.2 billion.  GM, in the meantime, is investing 540 million into opening an engine plant in Mexico.  So make sure you look for that union label.

The global warming alarmists continue to marginalize themselves with headlines that look like they could have been ripped form the Onion.  Was Ginghis Khan history's greenest conqueror? That would, of course, make republicans worse than Genghis Khan (we already know they're worse than Hitler) for slashing Nancy Pelosi's "Green the Capitol" program.
