LOL. siemens? SAP? imagine the meetings and steering committees. france is of course not far behind and will soon make an even more inane investment, not to be outdone. essentially, meet the coal subsidies of the 21th century.

Neocon Cruise
A red-faced man who looks like an egg with a moustache glued on grumbles, ” If the Germans think they can take responsibility for the world, I don’t care about German courts. Bomb them.” I begin to witter on about the Pinochet precedent, and Kate snaps, “Treating Don Rumsfeld like Pinochet is disgusting.” Egg Man pounds his fist on the table: ” Treating Pinochet like that is disgusting. Pinochet is a hero. He saved Chile.”

Say that tomorrow someone attacked a flight attendant and tried to get into a cockpit with a copy of the Wall Street Journal. Would the TSA ban newspapers on airplanes? How much longer are we going to let crazy people (terrorists and the TSA) drive our national policy?
the dead trees industry has enough problems already. they certainly don’t need a war on newspapers

Sicko Ads
Google’s “Health Advertising Team” is trying to sell the health industry on buying ads to be shown opposite searches for “Sicko.” The idea is to counter Michael Moore’s amazing, enraging, must-see indictment of the health industry’s grip on American society by running ads over search results for Sicko.

free Gas Traffic
Allstate found that that drivers in Flint and Warren, Michigan were some of the “most improved” when it came to reducing the number of car crashes. The insurance company rewarded motorists in those towns with 37 free liters of gas. What was the result of the Allstate promotion? Total traffic chaos.
