2008.11.17 Politics and National Defense Roundup
Contributed by Bill Faith

I haven't been covering the Detroit bailout discussion up to this point but it's time to start. Obama and Pelosi think it's a good idea, a lot of key Republicans don't. To me the situation looks pretty simple; The Big Three are in trouble because over the years they've agreed to ever more ridiculous contracts with the UAW. If they go bankrupt whoever picks up the pieces can offer the autoworkers who lose their jobs new jobs at reasonable salaries, with reasonable benefits packages.

Worth knowing about today:

• VA's Mishandling of Veterans' Claim Documents Discovered

• Battle over Big Three bailout looms in lame-duck Congress

• Scare-Mongering on Steroids: NBC Warns Oceans Could Rise 200 Feet!

• Howard Kurtz: A Giddy Sense of Boosterism
• Obama Declares War on Conservative Talk Radio
• Obama transition adviser undermined Fannie Mae oversight as lobbyist
• Barack Obama: The 'Now He Tells Us' Edition
• Obama picks presidential assassin’s lawyer as White House counsel

Quote of the week (Helmet tip: Gunship II):

"Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and gave him triumphal processions… Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the ‘new, wonderful good society’ which shall now be Rome’s, interpreted to mean ‘more money, more ease, more security, more living fatly at the expense of the industrious.’ Julius was always an ambitious villain, but he is only one man."

– Cicero
