This post rocks. I’m happy to see you posted this because alot of people missed the bailout of the auto industry. I’m betting tomorrow we hear from you on WaMu(and I am looking forward to reading it). I want to thank you for your blog. I am thoroughly enjoying reading your posts and your thoughtful comments.

I got an earmark too. Some of them I don’t mind – like SAIC and Presidio. I’m not getting the point of that Drug Intelligence Center though.
