News Morning Newsdome: No socialized trash for Gwinnett
Posted by Alejandro A. Leal on Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 3:11 PM
The newsdome this week has been seeped in a foreboding sense of pessimism. Riots? No money to help the unemployed? MARTA can't catch a break? I mean, c'mon, naming your kid Adolf freaking Hitler Campbell? Even the terrorists are a big pile of collective FAIL... Lets' see what the news holds in store for us today...
- Socialized trash is not for Suburbia... judget halts Gwinnett trash program... and the commenters are livid "I think it is horrible to let government choose my waste service"... maybe they should do their own cespooling, too.
- Bush approves bailout for the Automakers... says consumers would be unlikely to buy cars from a bankrupt manufacturer... or one that makes shitty cars.
- "Deep Throat" dies... I mean, literally.
- Clinton-era tax break may have caused the housing bubble.
- Making a decisively controversial decision, Obama asked Pastor Rick Warren to give the invocation at the inauguration ceremony... and let's just say the reaction has been strong.
- Not Third World, Green world: It seems limiting their driver's left turns wasn't enough, UPS is adding bike carriers... don't let Brown do your part for you though...
- No A.J. Burnett, no Rafael Furcal... what are the Braves to do?

The cap gains tax break were not as big a factor as the the Community Reinvestment Act. Letting people keep their profits helps the economy, but "encouraging" banks to make bad loans to people who can't afford them does not.

Gay rights activists are upset with Obama for picking Warren? I would have thought they would be used to Democrat Presidents throwing them under the bus (Defense of Marriage Act, Don't Ask Don]t Tell, etc). At least Clinton waited until he was actually in office to screw them over.
