Dana Corp files for bankruptcy

You're right Bill, we shouldn't buy any products from Saudi Arabia, since
most of the hijackers came from there.

Terry's granddad did a great service, but remember that the US helped to
rebuild Japan and Germany as well.

Ya' gotta' love our president. Lets hope we make it to January 20, 2008 intact...

I have no problem with buying OPEC oil. I just want the US, Canada, et al
to form a cartel of food exporting countries and peg the price of grain to a
barrel of oil.

Turn about is fair play...

tell me how in hell you figure its bushs fault. i dont owe my failures or
successes to bush or any other president. personal success is a _choice_
that each of us makes, just as failure in a choice. business success is
primarily dictated by consumer demand. gm/ford are in trouble for multiple
reasons, none of which can be laid at bushs feet. the american consumer is
all to willing to throw money at cheap chinese crap, while the american
union worker wants premium wages for mediocre work. if gm/ford want to
compete against cheaper products, they had better be able to offer "more"
which they dont. once upon a time it was a compromise to buy japanese.
today more often than not its "smart money" to buy japanese.

The Fraternal Order of Mammoth Handlers are desperately trying to hang
on to a scant smattering of glories from a distant past. It's pathetic.
They need to let go, move on, and join ranks with a much more 'today'
cause, The Preservation Society for the Dances of Babylonia.

Same here. Was good to meet you too. Anytime you come out this side of the
state again, give me a call. You have a place to hang your hat at our
house.

Bring family this spring and/or summer and we'll hit the mountain
backcountry trails for some camping, Jeepin, ATVing, and sightseeing. We
could show you around the area too, if you are still considering relocating.

I'm looking forward to viewing those pics.

Terry

Yeah, its kinda sad that some of the veterans of ww2, korea, 'nam, etc.
find it impossible to get over it and move on. On the other hand, there
are some that may have even been victims of some pretty serious
mistreatment that have since managed to meet and even make friends with
former combatants on the other side. They do seem to live longer.

Granted if I ever get my hands on a certain sniper, I might greet them
with a baseball bat before I spring for the first round of beers.
