   Did you hear the one about the newbies that took over Chrysler with the Car Czar and asked about repealing the Laws of Physics??? see below.

   These maroons have no understanding of math and physics. They think they can just will things to happen.

   ================================================
   (From a Senior Level Chrysler person)

   Monday morning I attended a breakfast meeting where the speaker and guest was David E. Cole, Chairman Center for Automotive Research (CAR and Professor at the University of Michigan. You have all likely heard CAR quoted, or referred to in the auto industry news lately.
   Mr. Cole, who is an engineer by training, told many stories of the difficulty of working with the folks that the Obama administration has sent to save the auto industry. There have been many meetings where a 30+ year experience automotive expert has to listen to a newcomer to the industry, someone with zero manufacturing experience, zero auto industry experience, zero business experience, zero finance experience, and zero engineering experience, tell them how to run their business.

   Mr. Cole’s favorite story is as follows:

   There was a team of Obama people speaking to Mr. Cole (Engineer, automotive experience 40+ years, and Chairman of CAR). They were explaining to Mr. Cole that the auto companies needed to make a car that was electric and/or run on liquid natural gas (LNG) with enough combined fuel to go 500 miles so we wouldn’t ‘need’ so many gas stations. (A whole other topic). They were quoting BTU’s of LNG and battery life that they had looked up on some internet website.

   Mr. Cole explained that to do this you would need a trunk FULL of batteries and a LNG tank at big as a car to make that happen and that there were problems related to the laws of physics that prevented them from…

   The Obama person interrupted and said (and I am quoting here) “These laws of physics? Who’s rules are those, we need to change that. (Some of the others wrote down the name of the laws so they could look it up later.) We have the Congress and the Administration. We can repeal that law, amend it, or use an executive order to get rid of that problem. That’s why we are here, to fix these sort of issues.”

   Well George, during my lifetime I had dozens of such interaction with “government” folks. And yes, it’s an uphill fight to maintain a sense of decorum not to mention a good dose of common sense.

   The explosive growth of government such as is occurring now allows this nonsense to multiply at an ever increasing rate.

   No wonder we’re burning money to increase the deficit three trillion this year…

   @ GeorgeMasonIV – You are right on. Politicians (most) are so stupid, they do not have the slightest concept of what science is and what it is not. These are the morons that laughed at all us science and tech students in grade school, and high school. The ‘journalass types’, the ones that look at everything at the surface level and create some fantasy conclusion over what they saw. The 30 second sound byte types, the ones with a short attention span.

   Remember back in 1996 when the Martins recorded a cell phone call on which Gingrich and others were talking.. That created some congressional hearings on how cell phone transmissions could be intercepted. I watched this idiot Markey drill a radio communications dealer / distributor over how this could be possible and that it so outrageous that this is possible. How congress must make this SO ILLEGAL etc. What this moron retard Markey and others like him (all Democrats to say the least) almost suggested is to repeal the laws of physics, i.e. radio frequency transmission and detection (photon emission).

   These people are more than super stupid, they are Goddamn dangerous.

    What if we get Debbie Wasserman Schutlz to help get tot the bottom of this?
