"American autoworkers and car dealers were concerned Saturday about what would be cut -- and whose jobs would be lost -- if talks between General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC result in one less U.S. automaker.
News of merger talks between the two metro Detroit-based automakers became public Friday night, the same day that GM -- the world's largest automaker -- waved off speculation that the current global financial crisis could drive it into bankruptcy.
Workers and dealers said they were shocked to wake up to the news Saturday and believe the talks are serious." - Derek Coward

You think so? Hmm I don't know how I feel about a Flash Gordon revival - I guess that it depends on who is going to make it. But I do love that guy playing the crazy he is good. - martha
Good call. I'd love to see another Flash Gordon. Stephen Sommers isn't attached to that anymore, is he? Hopefully not. - Ian Casselberry

It has become incredibly ugly - and I am afraid that it will end in violence - martha
I wrote this shortly before my nap. I forgot who was on TV or what side they were for, but they were really pissing me off. Like you Martha, I think that there will be some newsworthy violence related to the campaign in the next few weeks. - Derek Coward
Agreed. I'm too angry half the time to properly discuss the issues, which are far more important. It's incredibly sad how little they seem to matter to many folks, esp. pundits. To them, they're only important for next attack. - Ken Kennedy

“Decisions, decisions. I can either eat some lasagna for dinner which will make me sick (I'm allergic to tomatoes and garlic) but will totally be worth it. Or I can have a dinner totally devoid of awesome.”
