i am not, by any stretch of imagination, an architecture critic. i can, however, admire a beautiful building as well as the next person. yesterday i was in south bend and was able to drive past the notre dame campus. even on a dull, dreary, gray day, the golden dome still shines.
it’s not the most beautiful painting i’ve ever seen, but as an irish football fan touchdown jesus is just as beautiful as the golden dome.
- frozen cokes are delicious
- a loves jimmy johns, but i just don’t think there are very good. they’re not bad, just not good. if i want a sub from a chain i’ll get subway, quizno’s, or (most likely) penn station.
- chrysler asks for another $2 billion. gm asks for another $16.6 billion! i don’t think we need to give gm another dime. they have already been given $13.3 billion. to request that the american government more than double what they have already offered is ludicrous. besides the $29.9 billion that they have been given/requested from the us, they have also requested bailout money from canada, sweeden, germany, the uk, and thailand. enough is enough. let them fail. yes, it will be painful and yes, it will put hundreds of thousands out of work, but there has to be a limit. the beauty of capitalism is that when tough times hit, the system weeds out the weak. it you drag your company’s good name through the mud and aren’t capable of surviving a recession, then see ya later. instead of handing away $29.9 billion to a failure of a company, offer that as seed money to entreprenuers to invent/create newer and better automobiles and other modes of personal transportation. there are other ways to spur the economy other than to put a dying company on life support. in the end, they’re still going to have to pull the plug. better to do it now then to spend all our resources trying to delay the inevitable.
