Although it is a bit late I am certain that the ex-chairman of GM, Rick Wagoner, finally realizes that Continue reading Stop the Bailouts and Let the Bankruptcy Process Do Its Job Yesterday my family and I got in the car and drove to Arizona for the day to see my beloved Los Angeles Dodgers play a Cactus League game against the Chicago White Sox at their new spring training complex known as Camelback Ranch. The Dodgers lost 6-1 and, I gotta tell you, if the Dodgers don’t find some pitching help real soon it’s going to be a very long season.
