I am glad that GM is moving along and doing what they need to do so that they can return to being profitable. I am sad they are closing down Pontiac. I have my third pontiac and have been a big fan of the brand. I do own a Trailblazer to for utility and family hauling purposes. However I would love to purchase the 2014 Pontiac Grand Am Voltec.

Regarding Lwesson’s allusion, Noel Park at #61 says … I think it’s “Clue” “Colonel Mustard in the kitchen with the knife”, says I.
———————————————————————

That’s what it seems to me to be. Clue required the winning player to solve the murder by announcing the person, the weapon, and the room of the mansion, just the form used by Lwesson when he says “Obama, with the bailout candlestick in the Library…”

Perhaps Lwesson was smiling inwardly as he wrote, wondering if we diligent members of the allusion watch would smoke him out.

I realize Clue is totally off the subject of the post but, really, how can a CEO be any better at forecasting things like oil prices than are the many other people who spend full time making such forecasts, using better data, and using serious money to hedge prices one way or another.

“He who forgets history is doomed to repeat it.” I am just re-reading “The Seven Pillars of Wisdom” by T.E. Lawrence. He talks about the tribes of what is now Saudi Arabia, which fought each other forever until a foreigner (Turk) appeared. Then they all joined together to repel the foreigner, and then went back to fighting each other.

He also has a lot to say about Britain’s experiences in Iraq in and following WWI. Eerily similar to our experiences there now. Can anyone say Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds?

Which is also what Winston Churchill said about Afghanistan in 1897.

Wow, been along time, but I read that book (autobiography?) myself back in my ‘school days,’ I did however watch Lawrence of Arabia recently, so that has to count for something right…right? lol
