Although there are several good design websites that occasionally have book reviews, there didn’t seem to be a single place online where you could get constant updates and reviews of new (and sometimes old) design books. - Eric Anderson

NBC says that Eric Holder has agreed to be Attorney General for Obama. - Thomas Hawk via Bookmarklet
Another Clintonista. Shocker. - Brian Newman
Poor choice - imran
I'm still waiting for hope and change. All I've seen are a couple guys that got rich as i-bankers and trial lawyers after Clinton left office. - Brian Newman

Is that a desperate move or what? - Jeff P. Henderson
GM sent me an email asking me to lobby Congress on their behalf as a GM owner. I printed the email on my blog. Smells like desperation to me to see GM lobbying all of their GM owners to try to get this money through Congress. - Thomas Hawk
yeah, it feel pretty desperate to me. It also strikes me as a bit of an inappropriate way for GM to use my personal information. - Thomas Hawk
I wonder if GM will reach out via twitter. Is GM trying to take a page from the recent political season with this email appeal to their customers. Some say it is a desperate move but I think desperate times calls for desperate means. - Ruth Ferguson
I would agree about the inappropriate use of personal info, Thomas. I'm expecting to find the same e-mail when I get home. My wife also owns a GM vehicle. - Jeff P. Henderson
I called my representatives lobbying them to NOT support the bailout. - Jason Shultz via twhirl
I guess owners of GM vehicles should be concerned though -- it would mean an end to warranties, fixing of future recall worthy faults, and complicate future parts availability. - Brian Sullivan
Autos will be saved regardless of voters input - imran
I doubt it would impact future parts availability. How often do you buy OEM parts for your car. I recently replaced the timing belt and water pump on my car over the weekend and neither of them was OEM. When I replaced the fuel pump on another vehicle it wasn't OEM. - Jason Shultz via twhirl
It's a myth that you won't be able to have your car repaired if they fail. Any good mechanic can work on a GM car and parts will still be made as demand exists. That's what the market does. Now the parts may not be made by employees of labor unions, but that's another story. - Thomas Hawk
@Thomas Exactly. It's just fear mongering by the Big 3 to scare those who don't know any better into helping to bailout their antiquated business models. - Jason Shultz via twhirl
But it does complicate parts availability. Granted most of the parts are probably manufactured by 3rd party suppliers but quite a number of them will fail as well. If there is demand then somebody will move to fill the demand but this will likely be uneven. I am not advocating a bail out but bankruptcy will come with lots of complications. - Brian Sullivan
You have to remember two things: 1. GM doesn't own the dealerships; franchise holders own the dealerships. Ergo, GM doesn't service the products it makes, other than compensation to the franchise-holders in the form of waranty related repairs. 2. The majority of parts for automakers are produced, under license, by independant vendors who still need to make products to stay in business. - Mark VandenBerg
Lobbying efforts aside, how can the US keep affording to bail out industries with hundreds of billions of dollars? Take that money and invest in alternative energy and entirely new and profitable markets will emerge. You can't really do the same with the financial markets but alternative energy is CLEARLY the most prevalent opportunity for profitable investment that could create new jobs to replace ones lost in the auto industry and actually turn the government investment a profit. Something we're not really seeing with the bail out. - Devlin Dunsmore via twhirl
"I want to assure you that we are making our best vehicles ever." Great. Now start making vehicles that can compete with the offerings from the car companies who ARE NOT begging for taxpayer cash to enable their addictions. - Dave Roth
