Oh, darn... I'm "out of favor" with Becky.... Sh*t... Whatever shall I do....

Tell me how you felt about the remarks from Bear that suggested that all the liberals that didn't agree with his position should be shot? How'd that work for ya?
Mitt Romney's round of highly dubious television and radio ads suggesting that Chrysler and GM are shipping American jobs to China has managed to offend both car companies.
A spokesperson for General Motors told the Detroit Free Press that the ad was, more or less, crass and misleading.
“We've clearly entered some parallel universe during these last few days,” GM spokesman Greg Martin said. “No amount of campaign politics at its cynical worst will diminish our record of creating jobs in the U.S. and repatriating profits back to this country.”
The day before, meanwhile, Chrysler Group LLC CEO Sergio Marchionne penned a letter to the Detroit News insisting that there was no validity to the idea that the company was shipping Jeep production overseas. Instead, he noted, the company was looking to open new factories in China to meet increasing demand there.
Romney 'Bill's BBQ' Ad Blames Obama For Failure Of Restaurant (VIDEO)
A statement released by an attorney for the company at time of closing suggested
the economic collapse of 2008 dealt a staggering blow
[/i][/b] to the local chain, and indicated that "the economy during the past five years, market changes and the high cost of upgrading operations" made it unfeasible for it to continue.
Aside from that, public health records show that different locations of the chain were cited for at least 8 health code violations in 2009 alone, including 5 critical violations, and that several locations had critical violations dating back as far as 2003.
Talking Points Memo also pointed out that despite the failure of Bill's Barbecue, downtown Richmond has experienced a boom in development recently, and that other barbecue companies are expanding.
Daily Kos called the ad "another lie" and argued that market forces, not Obama, forced the chain to close:
"The truth about the closing of Bill's Barbecue is that Richmond's barbecue scene dramatically improved in recent years. The competition got a lot better, and Bill's Barbecue was unable or unwilling to improve its product," blogger "JCWilmore" wrote.
Hmmm "the economic collapse of 2008 dealt a staggering blow"....Wait a minute...Who was the President in 2008?...And responsible for the "economic collapse of 2008"? It'll come to me... Oh, yeah...BUSH...
This is like Lyin'-Ryan trying to blame Obama for a plant that closed 8 months before he took office...
But hey, kids, RMoney's got nothing left in his sack but lies... Why should this one be any different...
