Anybody going to be in or plan to visit Detroit next month?
"Detroit is a car manufacturing center. I think what we're looking at is not something that can be done in a normal way. . . . It needs an Internet approach, a Google approach."
How Silicon Valley could become the Detroit of electric cars
-
Having eliminated more than 44,000 jobs, Ford Motor Co. is on track with its turnaround plan but looking to cut more jobs in the face of a softening auto market.
Silicone Valley anyone?
But heres a new incentive to visit Detroit other than Russian hockey players @ Joe Louis arena, and the Pistons ..and all the other things associated with Motor City.
Think: a wine list with more than 100 different wines, available in several different pour sizes, a full bar, cheeses from Italy, France and Spain, Italian-style paninis, caviars, hand-made chocolates and other small-plate dishes.

Meanwhile..chaos Pakistan
Last Tuesday the owner of Geo, Pakistan's largest television station, sent an email to his senior editors.
"I have received [a] threatening telephone call last night from ISI," wrote Mir Shakil ur Rahman, referring to the powerful Inter Services Intelligence agency. "They have taken me to a house in Islamabad."
Mr Rahman did not describe what happened at the spy safe house, but the following sentence suggested it was not pleasant. "I would like to advise you to please follow the laws specially [sic] the newly promulgated law."
He also attached an email from "Sabir".
"Pakistan Army is the backbone of Pakistan, don't try to damage it, if u do, u and your family who have looted billions would be hunted down like rats," it read. "It will just take a few hundred people to smash ur studios, offices, vans."

in 1847 some guy named Lick (Lick?) left Peru for San Francisco, taking 600 pounds of his neighbor Ghirardelli’s Chocolate with him.
Luck of the draw, he had a good neighbor.

cheekyThis little pussy of a blogger banned me from posting on his blog-lol.
Below are my comments to his little mini-rant on our Constitutional protection of the values we espouse

He writes:
"In other words, there is absolutely no need to waste Canadian tax dollars on them -- not even a penny!"

So I take it you would feel the same way then, my
fellow Canadian, when it comes down to paying
for the corrupt Afghan judiciary, yah?
Seeing how youre such a wise penny pinching Canadian
why dont we cut off all aid altogether until they
get their "accountablity" shit together?
I am referring to our country paying the police in cold hard CASH rather than the Afghan provinces who were supposed to disperse the funds but keep it for themselves.
That we would provide training and expertise (yes your tax dollars at work) so that people can be tortured without
benefit of trial is to epitomise despicability and
work in opposite towards the goals we are trying to achieve?
OR did you forget our soldiers are there for a reason other than to die so that Afghans can be tortured?
a-ok
Back when the original Bladerunner came out..it actually lost money.
Thats what happens when you release a film to compete
against a green martian who loves M&M's that children flock to.
By this I mean to refer to a movie called: . E.T.
But few movie goers today would have trouble recognizing the name Sir.! Ridley Scott
as being synonomous to one the best reputations in the business
for delivering top notch sure-fire entertainment.
Meanwhile here in the virtual world of reality, more eye

conversations irresistably more endearing....

irritatedArms dealer implicates Canadian ex-prime minister in cover-up

This reminds me of when the leader of the U.S. met with the leader of Canada prior to entry in the last world war, just off the eastern coast of Canada. Apparently, Germany had a spy planted at the Swiss Embassy in Europe who lifted secret plans that had been relayed there from the Swiss Embassy in the U.S. This came about because the American VP at that time was congenial enough with the Swiss diplomat to share information (being his sisters husband), although he never knew he was a Nazi dupe.

"Henry Wallace, the Vice-President, was an even greater liability, happily confiding his plans for world peace – and his disparaging view of FDR – to a Russian spiritualist, from whom they no doubt quickly made their way to others. Worse still, Wallace’s sister Mary was married to the Swiss Ambassador, Charles Bruggmann, whom Wallace would ring on a daily basis, passing on everything said in Cabinet as well as FDR’s most secret conversations with Churchill. Bruggmann dutifully cabled the lot back to Berne, from where ‘Habakuk’, a Nazi agent inside the Foreign Ministry, passed it on to Hitler."
