The Menza
Father O'Malley along with his crazy sidekick Mr. Ganz will be traveling to Scranton Pa this weekend to visit with their friends at the Menza. He will report back on the events at the 12 Penney when he returns.
AUTOMOTIVE BAILOUT
Doesn't it seem strange that everybody and their mothers are asking for handouts. The one that I really do not agree with is the 25billion dollars for the "big" three automakers.
What I do think that the companies should do is file under chapter 11 of the bankruptcy laws of the United States. People do it, companies do it, WHY NOT GM,FORD, and CHRYSLER llc. The situation with Chrysler is the dumbest thing that I have heard in a while. This is a private company 80% owned by CERBERUS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT. This CERBERUS owns 100's of companies, many of them profitable. I do understand that they want to give CHRYSLER to GM for the 50% of GMAC mortgage that they do not own. Let them do it.
People say the problems of General Motors and Ford are economic related. I say BRAVO SIERRA (B.S.) The two companies did it to themselves and it started 25 years ago, with their dedication to the unions. Now I am not a union basher, but the unions were a dying breed 25 years ago, and in order to get away from them the two companies, and CHRYSLER started opening factories in Mexico for final assembly and parts manufacturing.
Now this may have been a good idea, especially around 1992 when the NORTH AMERICA FREE TRADE AGREEMENT known as NAFTA passed, but it ended up screwing with them .
People also say that the reliance on the SUV and the non increase of the CORPORATE AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY (CAFE) standards during the George Bush reign were also a big factor. This I agree with. True, who knew that gas would be $4 a gallon, but who needs to be driving back and forth to work in the $40,000 Chevy Tahoe?
Who do you blame? I blame the companies themselves. I do not blame the Japanese companies because they make a decent product. In fact Toyota, Nissan and Honda employ about the same number of people today as GM, FORD, and CHRYSLER do.
This situation is sad, very sad.

Midwest Cheers
Mr OMalley wants to thank his host CJ ELGARF at elgarfmiscellany.blogspot.com
for his hospitality last weekend. I havent had that much fun in a while. In fact the mood didn't last for long as the election for PRESIDENT of the United States took place and the results left me somewhat ill on Wednesday.
I also want to thank "CHIEF" ROONEY at chiefrooney.blogspot.com
for his insight during the weekend. His comments and observations are first class and the humor, Don't get me started is second to none.
When you have friends like these two trivial things like election results can be dealt with in a civilized manner.
Thank You and a Baba Booey to you

F-ED IN THE HEAD
As I start this posting, I must apoligize for my blatent rude title. As this is said, then I can now go on to my posting.
I am deeply concerned for Mr Ganz. As a man in his 50's I see a side of him that I feel should happen in somebody much older. I do not want to be cruel, but I feel that he may be suffering from some sort of Dementa. I guess you can say that it all started last Monday. I saw Mr Ganz at work, and he asked if we are still going to the 12 Penny this weekend. He also asked if we can play bingo before. I snapped at this and said. "WE ARE NOT GOING TO MENZA THIS WEEKEND". I feel that if Mr Ganz wants to play bingo, then that is what we will do.
Well Mr. Ganz told Mr Laytom about this and Laytom asked me about this on Friday. I said I was kidding, that he pissed me off about the bingo. He said that he will call Mr Ganz and tell him the news.
Well driving back from Scranton on Saturday, all he kept talking about was that He thought we were going to leave at Midnight and that I am going to tell my sister that I was at Stupids house. I am like shut the fuck up. Stop talking about your sister because you piss me off everytime that you mention her name. Second of all, we always stay for the duration. And Finally you are a 55 year old man, who has accomplished nothing in life except to add your name to the record books for having the most Cds, developing the FARTING GAME, and finding the most ways to Masturbate.
MR GANZ THIS ONE MESSAGE IS FOR YOU "GROW THE FUCK UP"
