This morning when I went out to get the paper and restock firewood it was 46 degrees warmer than yesterday morning. But today’s 19º F was still pretty cold.

Cold is also how I feel about bailouts. Chrysler is getting another $1.5b from our Treasury Dept (IE, you and me) to be used, according to Chrysler and with the Treasury Dept’s blessing, specifically to provide 0 interest loans to people with poor credit to purchase Chrysler cars. Wasn’t providing credit to people with poor credit one of the things that got us in to this mess?
