Barker's Newsbites: Wednesday, January 9, 2013


Well, kids, participated in my second Body Pump class this morning... Whoo-hoo...!!!

All those muscles between one's elbows and shoulder blades... mine are on fire.

As you've no doubt noticed, there have been fewer newsbites lately. Why? Obama won the election, folks. The Right is disheartened and the Left is in full Obama-support mode so frankly there's less hard news of interest being disseminated.

Is it a "plot?" No. (At least no more so than usual...) 

It just... is.

Anyway... I'll keep plugging away! So... tally ho to today's newsbites!

(As always, found in the comments section of each day's/weekend's newsbite post!)

Nissan Motor Co. said it will begin U.S. production of its all-electric Leaf on Thursday in Tennessee as part of a $1.4 billion government loan.

* GOVERNMENT LOAN...??? THE GOVERNMENT OF JAPAN IS LOANING A JAPANESE CAR COMPANY MONEY...??? SO...???

The Japanese automaker won an Energy Department loan in 2010 to build a battery plant in Smyrna, Tenn., and to retool to build the Leaf at its assembly plant next door.

* THE... er... JAPANESE ENERGY DEPARTMENT...???

In January 2010, U S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu said...

* HOW'D THE SECRETARY OF ENERGY FOR CHINA GET INTO THE ACT...?!?!

(*CONFIRING WITH MY ADVISORS*)

(*SHOCKED EXPRESSION*)

* OOPS...

* Er... FOLKS... A CLARIFICATION: THE U.S. GOVERNMENT (YOU KNOW... THE ONE WHICH NEEDS TO BORROW 46-CENTS OF EVERY DOLLAR SQUANDERED ON OPERATING EXPENSES)... IS THE GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZING JAPAN. (AND BY THE WAY... SEC. CHU IS *OUR* ENERGY SECRETARY... NOT CHINA's!)

* FOLKS... IN ALL SERIOUSNESS... WE LONG AGO LOST ALL CONTROL OF OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
