Sorry for the long long disappearance. Between not feeling well and vacation I was gone for quite a bit. Well it looks like a few things happened while I was gone. First I would like to congratulate the Detroit Tigers in making it into the World Series by shutting out the ever popular New York Yankees 4-0. I did watch the second debate between the presidential hopefuls. I would have to say that Mitt Romney won it by a slim margin. President Obama did look a lot more into it this time. My 49ers took a loss to the Giants but that's ok because tomorrow will be a good day. I am back and I hope to keep things rolling. Take care folks.

Follow Up....
Wednesday night's Presidential Debate was definitely an event I'm glad I did not miss. I for one enjoyed watching Obama squirm while Romney kept throwing facts and figures at him. The both did a great job but I have to hand the debate win to Romney. He kept his composure and presented a firm respect for the president while handing him a can of whoop-ass. Next week's debate between the Vice President and nominee will be one I would much rather watch in its' entirety. I know for a fact Biden will find it within him to just be him and completely screw it up. Of course I'll post something after the event.

One of many...
Ok, sorry for the blank day there. I was catching up with work and stuff around the house. Well it looks like tonight is the first Presidential Debate on FOX. How many of you here will be tuned in to watch and see how it turns out?.......................................
Ok not sure if you guys might but I wanted to let you guys know that I will be watching part of it to see where they stand on our still increasing unemployment figures. Some of you might find this boring and choose to watch something else. The beauty of that is that you have the freedom to do so. :)
I will chime in some more tonight - going to do some quick reading on the ins and outs for today's news.

Bending is not enough...
DETROIT (UPI) -- United Automobile Workers said they would rather bend than break, offering concessions to U.S. automakers on the eve of bailout hearings in Washington.
Executives from General Motors Corp, Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC were scheduled to appear at Thursday hearings to ask for about $38 billion to get them through tough times.
Meeting in Detroit Wednesday, union leaders said they would suspend the controversial "jobs bank" that pays laid off workers 85 percent of their salaries, The New York Times reported.
Union president Ron Gettelfinger also said the union would allow automakers to postpone payments to a multibillion-dollar healthcare plan for retirees.
But Washington Democrats said critical votes for a bailout were still lacking.
"It's going to take (President George) Bush and (President-elect Barack) Obama calling people," a Democratic aide told the Times.
With new business plans in hand, auto executives have said they would make further production cuts, eliminate some brands and focus on more fuel-efficient cars.
Federal assistance should be based on "a realistic plan for how we're going to make these companies viable over the long term," Obama said.
What the Unions need to do is cut back on workers as well as cutting back on the huge wage that isn't helping the company any. It's bad enough that the top three have to find ways to make their vehicles more tempting by offering delayed payments and more incentives.
Other car companies have a good car where in some cases at half the price then those offered by anyone else. How is a company going to compete if that's where the starting point is and the top three others are in dead last place. I beleive they need to fail and file for bankruptcy so that they have to be forced to sit down and trim down what they have so that they can at least have a decent run in this future vehicle race.
