Good Morning and welcome to Friday!

So, the Cash for Clunkers program is scheduled to end Monday. Over the last few days, car dealers have been complaining about the program, which has been so successful it ran out of money.
Dealers, it appears, are doing too much business. The government is taking its own sweet time refunding the money (although if you've ever dealt with a government agency you know why) and those gas-guzzling junkers are piling up on back lots.
The bottom line, though, is people seem to be buying new cars, something that hasn't been happening over the last couple of years.
Lest you forget, the U.S. car manufactures all went thought bankruptcy, shut down plants and laid off too many workers.
Now, they are getting orders and selling cars. When the program ends Monday, so will a lot of the car buying.
Then again, what would we be if not a bunch of complainers. Need another example? Check out any of the health care debates.
Of course, this is just more ways for the government to take over your lives (on a side, that wingnut Glen Beck should get his own late-night conspiracy program):

Good Morning and welcome to the weekend!

Remember, there's only two weekends left to finish your Christmas shopping. Of course, the auto industry's shopping appears over after this Senate vote.
Speaking of shopping, it amazes me the way some treat things in stores.
I've seen some people actually pick up a sweater, not like the color, and throw it on the floor. These are probably the same ones who complain when they find something they want on the floor as well. How about treating merchandise like you already own it? Wait a minute, maybe they already are. Never mind.
By the way, I remember just a few years ago there seemed to be a Christmas show on television every night. You could always count on a Mickey Rooney Santa Claus to calm down the children and convince them to be good.
This year, though, we are being shown things like the High School Musical Christmas or the Naked Brothers Band Christmas or Jim Carrey's Grinch. In other words, real junk.
Just put on our old stop-motion classics. Rerun The Year Without a Santa Claus, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Jimmy the Crazy Elf, and the like over and over again.
In fact, why doesn't Comcast (the cable gods) just put together a Christmas show channel for the holidays. Get rid of one of the home shopping channels. After all, we are being told nobody is spending money anyway.
Not to ramble, but we can forget about Nostradamus, global warming was predicted years ago:
