With election day right around the corner, candidates are spending their waning days of campaigning in typical fashion. None have much to say about what they'd do if elected, preferring to sling mud or disparage their competition. And it seems that it always comes down to the same things. Candidate "A" digging up whatever's possible to prove that although he/she may be incompetent, corrupt or worthless, "B" on the other side's surely worse.
As usual, the polls seem to show a narrowing of leads in most races toward the end, causing candidates to try to invigorate their constituents, and insure that they all cast a vote.
In that regard, I read something this afternoon that indicated that Harry Reid evidently wanted to be certain that voters had no problem in his case, because voters in Boulder City, Nevada complained about trying to cast their ballots in early voting Monday. And it seems the one's trying to vote for Republican Sharron Angle found Reid's name already checked when they got to the electronic voting machines.
Elsewhere, Ford Motor Co.'s third-quarter net income rose 68 percent due to a bigger share of the U.S. auto market and buyers paying more for its highly-rated cars and trucks. It was the company's sixth straight quarterly profit and best third-quarter performance since at least 1990.
There's a lot of information about the company's performance, and certainly too much to list here. But what interested me was that the company's doing quite well. And, it's just like the one kid in class who got a hundred percent on a test so difficult that the teacher had to mark on the curve. Because, if not, many "star" pupils would have flunked miserably.
So, while incompetent overblown competitors were whining, moaning, complaining and lining up for government handouts, lest they be driven (no pun intended) out of business by ineptitude, Ford went along on its own, fixed problems itself, and is doing quite well in the market. I'd also think that with foreign automakers recalling vehicles more and more often, in larger amounts, Ford may continue to do quite well.
And, I'm pleased to see that, because I seem to remember this war that went on in the mid 1900's and to my recollection a lot of international car manufacturers were on the other side.
That's it for today folks
Adios.
