The big three as they call them returned in front of congress yet again today to plead for a bailout loan. This time around the three GM, Ford and Chrysler game with a better game plan this time around. They arrived to Washington DC in Hybrid cars instead of private jets and had well prepared evidence to present. The three CEOs even agreed to all to cut their pay to $1 a year if they get the federal help they are looking for. Thats's not the only thing thats different this time, The loan numbers seem to have increased to 34 billion dollars. One thing that was the same was the same pleas and reminders of the big economy hit we would encounter if they dont get these loans. We still have to wait for final answers.

They got me today! i saw a few ads that said 50% sale at Toys r us. i had some extra cash and so i went down there to see if i could get some names off the list. When i got down there the excitement went cold fast because when i got the paper for what was on sale it was no bigger than one page of a news paper. what a disappointment! i ended up getting some things because i was already there but nothing was on sale.

The Cadillac Escalade was named US most stolen vehicle. It seems like theives like big flashy car as much as Americans do. The 07 ESV was the highest theft clammed vehicle. it was said to be more than 15 times more likely to be stolen even when compared to the Mercedes E Class Sedan which is a luxury vehicle. "The Escalade has been the star of the show with car thieves for the better part of the decade," says Russ Rader, an IIHS spokesperson. "It has pop-culture appeal, and thieves are attracted to it." Now this shows that we live in a world of wants not needs.
