Baby Rolls...I'll Help Sell These

WOW...Rolls Royce has announced the release of a new Baby Rolls...thought I would offer to help them drum up business. Give me a Rolls Royce (for free), cover the cost of gas and pay me $25 per hour, and I'll drive the car all over Westchester County, park in expensive shopping malls and give out business cards when people drool over my NEW CAR! Would make the same offer for a Bentley, and several other high end vehicles...hey Tesla, need a Roadster Driver? Talk about ECONOMIC STIMULUS! Wonder if any of those AIG executives that just got their bonus money might want one of these?

Rolls-Royce Releases New Details on Baby Roller

March 24th, 2009 by Steve Cypher

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars today released further details about its new RR4 model that is slated to fit below the Phantom in the company’s lineup. At a press conference in New York where the 200EX is on display to a group potential customers (that may very well include former AIG execs that decided to keep their bonuses), Tom Purves, Rolls-Royce CEO, had this to say about the new model, “As we move another step closer to the start of production at Goodwood, it is exciting to be able to share some of the specific technical details with customers and the media. RR4 will deliver an authentic Rolls-Royce experience to owners, so expect peerless comfort and build quality. However, we have consciously engineered this car to be more involving and dynamic for those owners around the world that will wish to drive it themselves.”

Amtrak Gets Billions in Undeserved Pork

Just because Biden road the train for all those years does not make Amtrak a "National Treasure", nor does it entitle Amtrak to Corporate Welfare in the amount of $1.3 Billion dollars from the Obamupus Stimulus Package. If Obama wants to Stimulate the economy while building a world glass rail system, LETS START ALL OVER and let Amtrak go the way of the dinosaur.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Vice President Joe Biden continued the administration's rollout of the recently passed economic stimulus package Friday, highlighting $1.3 billion in federal funding for Amtrak.

Vice President Joe Biden called Amtrak "an absolute national treasure and necessity."

The money for the rail service, which carried almost 29 million passengers in the previous fiscal year, will go primarily to infrastructure repair and improvement.

The $787 billion stimulus plan includes a total of $8 billion for improvements in rail service, a crucial investment to help ease traffic in the congested northeast corridor running from Boston, Massachusetts to Washington, Biden argued.

It is "a necessity for a great nation to have a great [rail] passenger system," Biden said. "I'm tired of apologizing for help for Amtrak. ... It's an absolute national treasure and necessity."

The $1.3 billion will roughly double the size of Amtrak's capital investment program over the next two years, according to the vice president's office.

The largest single project funded by the stimulus money is the $105 million replacement of a movable bridge over Connecticut's Niantic River. The replacement of the 102-year-old drawbridge has been delayed for more than 20 years because of a lack of capital, Biden noted.

Leading Republican critics of Amtrak argue that the money is a poor use of taxpayer dollars and that the often-struggling rail service should instead be stripped of public money in an effort to force changes that would make it more profitable.
