You People Are Nuts!

Between D.C. and Sacramento, it’s hard to chose one group of legislators as being the worst.  California’s legislature wants to outlaw black cars?!  Did they already legalize pot?  If not, someone please tell me why they haven’t been arrested for drug use.  This is ludicrous.  The religion, yes religion, of environmentalism (actually, ‘Gaia worship’) needs to be separated from state policy-making.  California’s Congressional delegation, led b y the clueless Pelosi and the vile  Henry Waxman, have long had a grudge against Detroit.  They may not be trying to dismantle American auto manufacture to make room for the likes of the esoteric Tesla Motors and other CA-based start-ups, bu, given their utter lack of character gives pause here, as it does elsewhere.  (Like Cicero said, “Qui bono?”  Follow the money trail, and don’t be surprised if it leads straight to one of these characters.)
It makes no sense for GM and Chrysler to get loans [as opposed to the outright cash gifts the banks received] to stay afloat, when policy at the state and federal level makes staying afloat harder.  California’s ludicrous proposal is only the more foolish of the policy assaults on car-making.  Add to it the proposal to let every state set its’ own emission standards, the seizure of control of GM (take their money, take their orders – didn’t they ever watch “The Godfather”?), followed by an insistence on more cars consumers don’t want – the uneconomical, expensive electric cars being the most obvious example, and the new, higher CAFE standards that will cost billions to meet.  Bob Lutz, he of the Pontiac Solstice, resigned as product czar at GM because, as I noted in an earlier post, he wanted to design cars that customers wanted, which implies that GM’s new masters have plans for ugly little econoboxes that we’ll hate.  (It’s for our own good, of course…)  .  The folks at Ford must be chuckling – they stayed free of the loan guarantees, and now the Feds and California’s legislature are dismantling their domestic competition. 
They can’t smile at the Glass House for long.  These characters mean business, and they will seize every business as they erect a Communist utopia in America.  As ‘utopia’ is Greek for ‘nowhere,’ so will all of you, dear readers, be going nowhere, unless you’re riding a dangerous, overcrowded bus, riding your bicycle, or happen to be one of the big shots like Pelosi and Waxman, to whom the rules don’t apply.  Al Gore wanted to eliminate the internal combustion engine; his disciples are well on the way to doing just that.
I hope that the Mercury Grand Marquis I ordered at the Ford dealership gets here soon.  I’d like to leave it outside, idling, all day on their Earthmas – “Earth Day,” April 20th.  Breathe deep, nutcases, and kiss my tailpipe….
