Chrysler Motors files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy,
30 April 2009 .
Lee Iacocca, the retired chairman and CEO who led Chrysler through a government bailout in the late 1970s, said it was a sad day.
“It pains me to see my old company, which has meant so much to America, on the ropes,” he said in a written statement. “But Chrysler has been in trouble before, and we got through it, and I believe they can do it again.” The government has sunk about $25 billion in aid into Chrysler and rival General Motors Corp. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090430/ap_on_bi_ge/us_chrysler

Greetings Earthlings, and Welcome Back to
The Greatest Show In The Galaxy.
Starting Off On The Right Foot With Pimp Cane In Hand,
amongst many firsts that have been realized within the past 48 hours, we will conclude that B-Rock and his Admin will be the first to come into the position of the Highest Office and provide INTELLIGENCE Briefings as opposed to receiving them, so on that note, follow along if you will.
Listen Close Kiddies. If You Desire
WINNING RESULTS, it is in your BEST INTEREST to follow WINNING EXAMPLES. and while the
U.S. Constitution allows for freedom of diet
(For The Most Part), amongst being the first African American President, we should add a minor detail to the story which would be the first African American NON PORK EATING president in the history of America.
An oldie but goodie that rings true is that
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, FROM YOUR HEAD DOWN TO YOUR FEET,
Lets look at what a Porkless Diet may entail for your benefit and cool factor increase which is what brought us all here in the first place.
SWINE- currently known as PIG in the western world. Attributes-Filthy-Greedy Of Gain-Inability To Clean Up Its Own Environment After Making A Mess Of It.
Already in the record books from the Obama Administration is the most well organized & well ran campaign, which for all intensive purposes, is the opposite of a SLOPPY campaign.
Google the word SLOP and you will become enlightened.
So, outside of any particular religious or cultural beliefs and giving any favoritism or scrutiny towards anyone’s particular preferences, this is simply a format of a working example to follow in your quest to reach
Official Pimpin Status.
Winning results Require a Spirit of Sacrifice for the Greater Good.
If you simply cannot resist the flavor, a healthy alternative known as TURKEY BACON and other alternatives are available as a great starting point in your quest for CHANGE!
Eating Pork Is NOT “P”.
In Closing, we will simplify even further.
This Little Piggy Went To The Market.

Who would have guessed that the last Money Matters post would have received such an overwhelming response? I only posted it because much of what I hear as of late from many people is about how bad the economy is, yet little if any of the discussions are regarding the how to’s of making it better.
I think different, so if I am correct in my assessment that the poor condition of the global economy is based on the poor mental ,emotional, and physical condition of the global community, then a change for the better in the condition of the global community would also lead to a change for the better in the global economic condition. Yep, that did sound kinda philosophical didn’t it?
I pat myself on the back, but to be sure you get it correct without confusion, I just mean that something as simple as a GLOBAL ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT can and will do much good. With that out of the way, here is the second part of the Bob Proctor series.
I kinda dig ole Bob’s steelo.
His name is one that can be associated with wealth, think
PROCTOR & GAMBLE, plus he has that wise old white guy appeal that adds value to his pitch. Now, if you want to get into the inner meanings as to why there is actually a WOMAN named Michelle who is the author and singer of the Magnet To Money song featured in the series, as well as the reasons why the whole “THE SECRET” book and movie phenomenon was from a woman named
Rhonda Byrne, you will have to guess which channel to stay tunded into.
I happen to like Rhonda, as for some mysterious reason, I received a friends request from their Arizona headquarters on Myspace, before it(The Secret) became popular, and I had to see what they were saying months later on Oprah. She must have seen something from us that she LIKED!
Go figure?
There is blood in the streets of the Information Super Highway created by um..Al Gore!
Things are definitely changing in the world of New Media. Whether for better or worse is all based on decisions , attitudes , and perspectives.
Per Tech Crunch
We broke the news that News Corp. was looking to replace founder and CEO Chris DeWolfe on Tuesday. Later that day we confirmed the news. On Wednesday News Corp. issued a short press release that DeWolfe was leaving and that cofounder and president Tom Anderson would be moving to a new role.
I actually happen to like Myspace and the house that Anderson & DeWolfe built, yet I also understand the necessity for change in the name of progress and growth, so on that note, since I am feeling a bit generous today, I will issue some sound advice to the NEWS CORP executives in order to at least have a slight chance of keeping things afloat.
If you are maintaining a virtual social networking community, the community has leaders and followers just as any community, and things would probably tend to flow better if the leader/leaders were individuals who were respected , well liked and in tune with a majority of the community members and their needs.
ALL solid relationships hinge upon respect, trust, and clear and honest communication. Here is a working example from an individual who also has his own personal social networking profile on Myspace.com as well as Facebook.com and a few others in addition to his own personal website listed on the image below.
He even has a YouTube video like many of the community members, even though Myspace has its OWN video upload service?
In closing , while it is a known fact the News Corp is in support of the Republican Party, Obama was able to generate more in campaign funding and support donations through Myspace.com than Myspace.com was able to secure in yearly advertising revenues with all x-million of its active users in the year of 2008.
IMHO, if you want to loose, its not hard, simply take what has not worked and does not work, and then just continue to do more of it and see if it does the trick!
Dont take any of this as expert advise, because well, what would
an AFRICAN AMERICAN male know about technology and the operation of large scale dot coms anyway?
Its just for entertainment.
A different perspective to consider.
