Teddy's electric cars will need "Special Plugs" connected to "Special Charging Stations" that will also report back to ODOT as to where the vehicle has been since the last re-charge, when it was used and by whom.
Also, if your face and thumbprint isn't recognized or you are late with paying your road use taxes or child support . . . you don't move.
Not only can the State put an end to drunken driving with using an on-board sobriety test they can also slow and regulate the speed of your vehicle so as to reduce traffic congestion.
What we will then have is the perfect Socialistmobile and Teddy's managers are busy today laying the foundation for their dream to come true.

Who needs more proof?
The Islamic Terrorists who have specifically targeted Americans, Canadians, Brits, Australians and Israelis in Mumbai, confirm that we of the West remain the last line of resistance to their objective in dominating and converting the World to Islam.
Those who can't read that handwriting on the wall had best invest in a prayer rug and compass.

Who can blame them for Quiting?
Man who claims himself as being a 5-time Cuban Wrestling Champion gets 6 days in Jail for seriously assaulting 6 Police Officers.

If Oregon was really GREEN and really short of Money!
We might expect that ODOT would start reducing Metropolitan Freeway Lighting by 50% and to only those hours of need.
Their insane waste of electrical energy began in the early 70s and really picked-up the tempo during our first Energy Crisis of 1973. Since then its only gotten worse.
So why is it, that when we travel through the cities of Wilsonville, Aurora, Woodburn, Brooks, Keizer, Salem, Albany, Lebanon, Brownsville, Coburg, Eugene, Cottage Grove and beyond on I-5 at 3:00 AM and on a moonlight night, our greatly improved vehicle lighting systems are suddenly inadequate, but just in those areas?
What, can't the cameras read my vehicle license plate or recognize my facial features in the dark?

My memory is failing!
The Great Depression was a worldwide economic downturn starting in most places in 1929 and ending at different times in the 1930s or early 1940s.
So when did we last enjoy just a regular every-day Depression?
Ralphie started it!
Looking back to the early 60's we can see the UAW started their campaign of absurd demands soon after Ralph Nader attacked the Big 3 for their not building safer cars and just delivering what the consumer wanted . . . that an overall better vehicle. Sorry, just better wasn't good enough.
I was working in the industry at the time as watched the Detroit product quality began to slide soon after the Big 3 was hit by the UAW/Nader double whammy.
Actually it was a Triple Whammy at the time as the Big 3 was also being hammered by the Feds with Affirmative Action Demands when they were often forced to send taxis to pick up unwilling employees. Please note that I didn't call them "unwilling workers" as all many needed to do was punch the time-clock so the plant could operate once the required Diversity percentage had been achieved.
What I have always considered a tell of Ralph's dishonesty was his never attacking the VW Beatle that was many times a more dangerous vehicle than anything coming out of Detroit. Ralph's conflict was that most of his supporters were the easily swayed College Students (that sound familiar) who were often driving VW Bugs that were built in Germany.

Headline: National forests see 27% fewer visitors
News reports the number of visitors to Oregon and Washington national forests suffered a loss of 27% 2007 alone.
Curious there isn't any mention of Forest Visitors feeling threatened by Illegal Alien Pot Growers they encountered when out for a hike in the woods. That or reports of Forest Visitors hearing bullets ripping through the trees above their heads. Fair warning I guess.
Perhaps the reason the public never hears anything of those occurrences is victim reports to law enforcement are usually delayed by several hours, there are no bullet casings or holes found to document in an investigation and what officer in their right mind would venture into the area of complaint alone and without air support.
Lets just cross off our National Forests to Embracing Diversity and Sharing our Wealth with the world.

Flabbergasted!
That describes Oregon State Economist's reaction to today's unemployment report. That showing in the last 30 days the number shot-up nine-tenths of one percent.
Expert economist Tom Potiowsky described it as "really huge."
One can only assume that Tom's office must enjoy the same level of window-tinting as our Buffoonish Governor Ted Koolonkowskis.
I am ever thankful that neither Tom or Teddy work as school crossing flaggers as they can't see what's coming down the street.
What's it worth?
How many Carbon Credits will earn if I don't drive my car for three months?
What will the State of California give for them to help compensate for their burning more than 800 houses?
I think I'm going to like the Libs Green Machine where I'm paid money for not doing something.
Just like a Union's Guaranteed Work Week when if you work two days in a week you are paid for five days. That's when I work Monday and Tuesday and you work Wednesday and Thursday and you work . . .

Have you heard?
That any word from Sleepy Ted about tax income loss resulting from this years decline in sales of Oregon's Nursery Products?
With the bubble bursting in new home construction nation wide you can bet the demand for landscape plantings fell an equally huge amount. Maybe he will hold that data and bundle it with the bad facts about this years loss in Christmas Tree sales.
But then, on the bright side Teddy could tell us of how Oregon's wild-land Pot Crops brought a ton of growers here from Mexico.
And, how when here they bought food and lots of taxable gas importing from Mexico all those potent chemicals and toxic fertilizers that are banned in the USA.

They have the Power!!
Bill O'Reilley has it right with pointing out how the Gays violent protesting (across the US) the success of California's Ballot Measure 8 that banned Gay marriage, is just the tip of the Iceberg growing out of Obama's election.
Next, we will be dealing with violence coming from the all the extreme Liberals that include the Tree Huggers, the Animal Rights nuts, the Illegal Aliens, the Bicycle bunch, the Every Day Anarchists and all the many other splinter factions that are all well represented . . . in Portland, Oregon.
All the more reason to Stay the Hell Away!

Just a little while ago,
CNBC gave a report on our Slumping Retail sales and to support that they played some video taken today in several big box stores.
I didn't see a Gringo employee in any of the stores they visited, however the customers were a mixed bag of Asian, Black and Caucasian.
This all results from Spanish speaking shoppers being unwilling to give their money to anyone who doesn't speak their Mexican language and that like a native.
Its a preference decision they make based on Race and Ethnicity and in the US they are welcomed to practice the activity.

Speaking of Absurdity!
Friday Salem Police lockdown North Salem High, Parrish Middle and Grant Elementary schools while they searched the general area for a car thief.
Eventually they released the schools from their state of isolation after they gave up the lengthy search.
The irony is, they don't jail car thieves in Marion County and only give them citations (tickets).
What the hell, they don't even jail those who are accessories to murder and set them free with a court date.
So why subject the students, teachers and parents to such traumatizing activities as a Lockdown and that . . . for a car thief?
But then, it certainly does condition our children into becoming obedient subjects that have learned how to hunker down when told and are well accustomed to the authorities directives.
Our Schools are all about the Kids, right?

Which came first,
The Chicken or the SUV!
#1 Was it the Detroit Automakers building Monster SUVs to fill the consumers demand for Huge vehicles?
#2 Or, was it the Detroit Automakers selling Fear of Fatalities to all the soccer Moms?
That with convincing them of their risking their children's lives by allowing them to ride in anything smaller than a High Profit and gas guzzling SUV with Air Bags all around.
Just like Nervous Nurse Nancy that advises TV viewers that in order for us to be safe and we all need to beware, beware beware . . . with Fear of Loss being the World's greatest motivator.
Here is a hint in case you have any doubt. In 1972 GM introduced the Ugliest line of autos they had ever built and most of their life-long loyalists were puking in the street as a result of viewing the products. Note: Not a problem anymore as most (if not all) of them have been sent to China as scrap.
However, after 90 days of tactful advertising GM had them back in the dealerships and clamoring to buy the distorted monsters.
Go figure.
Go figure.

Stop right there!
Congress is talking with the Detroit Automakers about another unsecured loan of $30 to $50 Billion to help them remain in business for the next year, or so, maybe.
The money is needed to support retired UAW (United Auto Workers Union) members whose financial burden has become more than the industry can handle.
Well don't look at me for support of the UAW as it their intentional reduction of productivity and product quality that gave me reason to end a twenty plus year career in the new auto business. Out of self respect I could no longer bring myself to represent an ever declining product quality as a good investment.
I remember the days when the UAW first began to test their new-found strength by making absurd demands for workplace concessions. The bad part was the slow-down campaigns never ended and the hostility between management and labor went to a high-boil and never cooled down.
Much to the surprise of the UAW the Big 3 gave in to their demands without a whimper and chose to reduce quality control standards as a way to shave costs. It worked but the new cars turned to garbage as compared to what they had been only months before.
Note: It should be mentioned that even in the 70s the News Media always played the UAW as the poor little guys battling Big Business and never told of the absurd wage increases and benefits they had won.
That began the downward spiral of the Big 3 that opened the door for Japanese auto makers (non-Union) to take a large part of the market and brings us to where we are today.
So maybe its time for retired UAW people to try a new career as Social Security and Medicare Recipients?
So what got Gordy?
We all expected his claiming to be a Conservative and him pictured with GW would cement the Liberals in their position against him, and it did.
However, from what I hear in talk around the gym what turned the worm for his base was his $1,000.000. golf clubs and Smith Foods Exploiting Illegal Aliens (as reported by Portland area TV News) and his putting that problem off on his wife.
Sound of the Times
That found with the increasing number of cars traveling on our streets and highways with Blown Mufflers.
Hear them Roar!!
Hear them Roar!!
The free flowing exhaust systems might add to the mileage some drivers enjoy, however its loss of sleep that's more of a concern to me.

Word on the street!
The talk on Wall Street tonight has it that Obama will likely win the election, therefore specific stocks are gaining investors attention.
Those are stocks that will most likely benefit from massive amounts of Government Money flowing from DC to subsidize business and industries that otherwise would struggle in a competitive economic world.
The secret to success in an Obamanation won't come from excellence or being better as just New and Different will soon deliver the sought rewards

I want a Purple Finger!
Voting should not be easy to accomplish as it invites thieves, manipulators and aids fools.
I say, no more early voting and no more voting by mail unless the ballot is sent from outside of the USA or you are medically proven as disabled.
Election day should again be "Election Day."
I don't want people who are so blind and ignorant they will place their ballot weeks or many days in advance of an election and that because nothing can or will cause them to ever change their minds.
In this age of information technology much can be learned of recent occurrences within minutes of them happening, so why would we want to deny ourselves that educational ability?
What's more, those who choose to wait in voting or mailing in their ballot so as to be certain they are making the best choice, should not be harassed by campaigners who call or knock on their door asking them to hurry in making an irrevocable decision.
The USA didn't come fast and easy for those who built our Nation and we should give good effort to guiding its future.
