Massive Layoffs Hit America
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWith the economy having ground to a virtual halt, the inevitable is happening: massive layoffs are are sweeping the country. Consider today's news:Caterpillar announced it cutting 20,000 jobs. Sprint Nextel will lay off 8,000.Home Depot says it will trim 7,000 from its payroll. The merger of Pfizer and Wyeth means 7,000 more lost jobs. The Washington Post puts single-day employment attrition tally at 45,000. CNN says 50,000. Talk about a lousy Monday morning. The Obama administration is quick to say that this mess is likely to get worse before it gets better, and most economists tend to agree. ...
Home Depot Founder: Non-GOP Donors 'Should Be Shot'
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyBernie Marcus, one of the founders of Home Depot, has the blogosphere all atwitter over remarks he made on a conference call Monday. From Tom Frank of The Wall Street Journal:"If a retailer has not gotten involved with this, if he has not spent money on this election, if he has not sent money to Norm Coleman and these other guys," Mr. Marcus said, apparently referring to Republican senators facing tough re-election fights, then those retailers "should be shot; should be thrown out of their goddamn jobs."Bloggers everywhere are focusing on this"money quote," with snarky headlines about ...
Chick-Fil-A Is Coming, to Your GameDay
By Brian Grummell - AOL NewsHome Depot remains the program's title sponsor (hooray, more free hard hats for the crowd), but the great, mostly Southern dining establishment that is Chick-Fil-A is changing the routine a bit.The agreement [with ESPN] includes Chick-fil-A TV commercials during the show and a live shot of a Chick-fil-A fan interaction area. Event staff in "College GameDay" and Chick-fil-A co-branded uniforms will escort a crate carrying the mascot head for Corso's announcement.Total cheese, but then so is the entire Lee Corso repertoire. This move should fit right in.Chick-Fil-A now sponsors a bowl game ...
Kurt Busch Parked at Pocono
By tallglassofmilk - AOL NewsAutoRacingSport.com is reporting that per NASCAR's order, Kurt Busch will be on the sidelines this weekend in Pocono. I don't know who they are or how good their sources are, but I'd say the info sounds about right. Regardless of what happened on the track between Busch and Tony Stewart, his drive down pit road was unconscionable. Certainly his crime is worth more punishment than say, illegal rear mounting brackets. Busch deserves nothing less than a hefty fine, to be parked for a race and sentenced to anger management for his imprudent behavior--maybe Stewart can give him some pointers. ...
Reigning NASCAR Champion Intends To Keep His Title
By tallglassofmilk - AOL NewsJimmie Johnson is already racing for the championship.He went flying by my KOBALT Tools 500 pick with just 3 laps to go to score his 25th career win. Ugh! At least when Tony Stewart wins we get to see him climb the fence. C'mon, Jimmie, do something! Anything. Ok ... I gotta give it to him, he does do a pretty badass burnout. But really? If we're going to have to put up with this many wins, at least give us something to look forward to.If I was less certain about Smoke's desire to put The Home Depot #20 back in victory lane at Atlanta Motor Speedway--or anywhere else--I'd be working on some ...
