We're High Binders too.

It's true that we don't trust those Big Three High-Binders from Detroit. They were very highly paid to do a job at which they failed and did not have a clue about how to ask for help to clean up their mess. But we are not to be trusted either. With our whole world mortgaging itself to the oil-producers, we demanded monster cars and three car garages. And here's our equivalent of the "private jet trip to Washington:" we have now become very concerned for the welfare of the car manufacturing workers. Still clueless, like the Big Three High Binders.

and, on a note for the future .....

The Doser has been thinking of the people with ideas of which he disapproves. As a New Year's resolution he will resolve to try to think of them as honest, intelligent people, with opinions legitimately held and to which they are entitled. From this list, any right-thinking person can see that it is going to be a difficult resolution to frame. Some of the people with ideas of which The Doser disapproves are: creationists, anti-Semites, pit bull defenders, fundamentalists of any stripe, scientologists, National Rifle Associates, anti-abortionists, anti-gays, anti-birth controllers, anti-sex educationers, anti-intellectualists, anti-gay-marriagers, faith healers, anti-conservationists, anti-stem-cell-researchists, Ku Klux Klanners and members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. The Doser is sure that there are others - but this list is enough to stretch his tolerance at resolution time this year.
