[...] November 11, 2008: “The newspaper bailout countdown clock: I think it’s time to start the newspaper bailout countdown clock. A few weeks ago, I joked that it wouldn’t be long until the junky New York Times started crawling to the government for a handout. Now, with the Fed waving its magic wand and redefining American Express as a “bank holding company,” with insurers and Hollywood getting a cut of the Crap Sandwich 2.0, with indebted state governments looking for help, and with China lobbying and with automakers poised to get a bigger piece of the action, my joke isn’t so funny anymore.” [...]

Enough of this bailout business. Every company is crying for Federal money.

Its like the government is a kindergarden school teacher handing out lolly pops… everybodys going to want one.

I believe Companies need to take responsibilites for themselves. Reguardless if your not responsible for this credit disaster like Fanny and Freddie are… You are in charge of the company… dont come crying to us now that you lost business. Suck it up and bear through it. If you dont make it … tough. Nobody said Life is easy or fair.

Unfortunately, it won’t happen… Snort: Deadbeat defaulting Democrat tries to collect – Congresswoman Laura Richardson is working to recoup the $19.9 million the city of Long Beach lost when Lehman Brothers went bankrupt in September, she announced Thursday night … Richardson, D-Long Beach.

By the time they get to us here with bailouts, the only thing left will be the “bill”. It’s becoming a money “feeding frenzy” out there. Once nationalization of the economy is done, there won’t be a thing left for the taxpayer, but “payment demands”, and higher prices for the goods we buy. I wonder how much food the FDA bought at higher than market value, this year, from farmers and destroyed (You don’t hear about that in the news, of course). We’re already paying 500% more in sugar than the rest of the world. With price freezes again, and minumum prices, it will be a mess for the consumer. Of course, it will be all Bush’s fault. It’s getting old, democrats.

Well, I think we should all own a piece of the NYT or WaPo. It doesn’t matter if it is stock or the actual newspaper. That way when the recession gets really bad we won’t have money to buy TP so a piece of the NYT will come in handy! Of course, it will all be George W. Bush’s fault….

algore’s company laid people off.

How can that be?

Why algore could have paid those salaries himself by simply halfing his burrito expenditures

I guess he has his priorities

And people are not one of them

On the brighter side instead of calling them layoffs, he could market it reducing his companies carbon butt-print
