Comments on: For those of you who miss the “old” GM http://www.dvorak.org/blog/2009/10/21/for-those-of-you-who-miss-the-old-gm/ General interest observations and true web-log. Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:49:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Glenn E. http://www.dvorak.org/blog/2009/10/21/for-those-of-you-who-miss-the-old-gm/comment-page-2/#comment-1592537 Glenn E.

All in the name of saving the environment. Some Russian business gets away with making products from whale parts. Isn't there some kind of international ban on whaling? And using products made from whales, regardless of who is still doing the whaling? And... if not, shouldn't there be. If the US has to start coughing up tens of billions, for carbon credits. Then the rest of the damn world ought to at least pretend like they give a damn about the environment, and cease more of their exploiting ways. But I doubt they will. It's just an elaborate economic conspiracy to further dampen American commercial production. While all other nations get a much more favorable "credit allowance" or wavier. And the US's most abundant energy resource, Coal, is declared a toxic to the whole world. Apparently everything the US possesses and does with it, is toxic to everyone else. What a great piece of convenient propaganda, to be used to destroy the US's dominance in many areas of commerce and technology. I'm sure there are many in international investments, that would love to buy low in the third world markets, and then see the competing US markets be taken down several notches. They love the idea of the Kyoto Treaty. They'll take advantage of that bit of market shift knowledge, in a heart beat.

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 05:54:40 +0000 http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?p=60721#comment-1592535 Hmmm. I know that whales are classified as mammals. But can any part of something that lives in salt water, really be considered "hide"? And why the skin of whales' wangs? Is this some kind of perverse Russian sales pitch. "Seats made from the male parts of endangered species". I guess the Tiger penis leather wasn't as appealing. Or there wasn't enough of it to make even one seat cover. But come on! Why pick on the whales, when sharks are so well hated. Like I said, it most be part of some perverse sense of anti-eco conspicuous consumption. "Ha. My SUV's seats covered with the skin of animals' wangs, that everyone else idolizes. Free Willy's willy skin seat covers." Hmmm. I know that whales are classified as mammals.

Does it come with run-flats? At 2000 lbs of weight on each corner, I doubt it. Just shoot the tires out and it is immobilized. Hmm, the interior is standard Chevy.

The teapartiers are spending too much money on things like college or orthodonty for the kids. Chances are it will end up in the 7-car garage of some elite Obama czar (formerly of Goldman Sachs) who hasn't paid taxes in 30 years. Being washed by illegal immigrants paid less than the minimum wage. That's how the high-class Dems roll these days, get used to it, peons. And don't forget to pay YOUR taxes report Gramma for watching FOX and saying she's unhappy with The Big O .... it's everybody's responsibility to be on the lookout for domestic terrorists.
