There is some intense live-blogging action going on now that the Big Three automakers are back in Washington asking for a bailout for a second time, only this time they apparently have a "plan" to help out the American people…and are asking for $13 billion dollars more than they originally thought.
Because: why should Citigroup get $306 billion for their banks, and Freddie and Fannie get their bad loans taken care of by Uncle Sam, but Chrysler, Ford, and Chevrolet have to beg for a measly $25 bill? No fair, you guys!
Meanwhile Viacom is letting go 850 positions including old-timey MTV News anchor John Norris, NBC is cutting 1,3500, and AT&T is hitting staffers hard today with 12,000 new members of the unemployed ranks. So sure, let banking chairman Chris Dodd and Sen. Sherrod Brown debate the diner merits of what kind of transportation would have been appropriate for the auto execs to come in the first time as to not appear to lavish. We'll wait.
The jail authorities have disclosed that Casey Anthony has received over eight thousand pieces of lingerie through the mail by anonymous donors. Does she have access to them, and can she trade them to other prisoners for other items? Can she have a family member sell them for her? How much profit is she allowed to make while awaiting trial? Does this count as part of the multimillions in dollars she will make after this whole case is thrown out against her by the Appellate Courts? Plus, all that money Casey will win after she sues Nancy Grace of CNN for all the crimes Nancy perpetrated against the entire Anthony family.
Wow, silly canuck…forget where you were?
