A Successful Car Company...

That did not take a government bailout? Is that possible? No...couldn't be. Well, actually it looks like Ford is making $$ in 2009. Jump to the link here!

Pelosi, Reid and Obama (not necessarily in that order)must be licking their chops. This means more taxes for them! It must be time to level another tax on a successful company so as to "drive" them straight into the ground.

In response to the tax hike that is inevitable in Ford's future, Ford's spokesperson Mike Rowe (of Dirty Jobs fame) should go go to Washington and play Senator or Speaker for a day. If that job does not make him feel dirty, I don't know what else will. He might even clean "house".

iPad

It looks like the new iPad is on it's way from Apple. To me it looks like a big iPhone (as well as to others). I wish I had more thoughts on it than that. A comment was made on The Independents web site (and I quote): "Apple could sell a turd on a stick and the trendy folks would be killing each other in the streets to be the 1st to get it."

That may be but I do think Apple has had some ingenious products. I think this may just be the first of new things to come from Apple in this genre.

Apple's pricing can be seen here on the left. A bit expensive and makes me wonder if people will leave their laptops just to pick this up as a replacement. I am not so sure.
