Recipe for a Bailout

Amidst talks of government bailouts, I can't shake this weird feeling... the same one I get when watching the old "Twilight Zone" episode To Serve Man where aliens land on Earth and promise to help us in every way, sharing technology, ending war, hunger, disease, offering gifts, and free trips to their beautiful planet. In the end our scientists discover that the alien code book is actually a cookbook, and that the aliens' true intentions are to placate us before the slaughter.

I, for one, embrace the WILD American spirit and loath the thought of becoming a nation of domesticated animals. Even grass fed, free range ones. Open wide and say choo choo... here comes the choo choo spoon. Mmmmm good! Without the 50 billion dollar bailout, auto giants may wobble, but startup electric car companies could benefit from that kind of dough. After all, fair spending should spread the wealth to the entrepreneur too. Clean energy solutions et al will be born from our garages, not big companies.

Personal aside... What does a government know about every niche and industry anyway? Canada gave a $50,000 GRANT to a friend of a friend of mine, an aspiring film composer who lives fifty miles north of Toronto. Wow... we don't need film composers that badly even in Los Angeles! I guess somebody in Ottawa reeeeaaaly liked the demo. *huge cinematic swell*
