GM Exec Stands by Calling Global Warming a “Total Crock of Shit”
Automakers ended their opposition to higher fuel standards in 2007 when it became clear that proposed changes would become law with or without their support. In December, President George W. Bush signed a law mandating a 40 percent increase in fleetwide fuel economy by 2020, the first substantial change in three decades.

They're just like us, only rich
Morgan, tuning into "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" or giving Donald Trump a seemingly endless shelf life. What's striking now is how different the dynamic seems, with a fluid sense of possibilities, ever-changing rules and shifting boundaries. At a time when so many people have gotten rich, wealth no longer seems so remote, unattainable or mysterious to a lot of middle-class people. In some fundamental way, fascination with the rich has turned into a kind of yearning fascination with ourselves. We're really like them, we like to think, or could be, with the right combination of circumstances and luck. A lot of rich guys run around in shorts and sandals instead of business suits now - even if they're padding up and down the aisles of their private jets or around the grounds of their enormous estates.
MacPhail's rebuilding blocks
The Orioles traded shortstop Miguel Tejada in December partly because they believed their best hitter needed a change of scenery. Their trade of ace pitcher Erik Bedard yesterday was emblematic of an organization that has finally committed to a change of direction.
President of baseball operations Andy MacPhail made it clear that the Orioles are in a rebuilding mode for the first time in years, trading Bedard, the team's first legitimate ace since Mike Mussina, to the Seattle Mariners for five players, including promising young outfielder Adam Jones.
After several weeks of back-and-forth negotiations that sparked frustration on both sides, the two teams finally hammered out a deal that sends Jones, left-handed reliever George Sherrill and pitching prospects Chris Tillman, Tony Butler, and Kam Mickolio to Baltimore for Bedard, 28, who went 13-5 with a 3.16 ERA and set a franchise single-season record with 221 strikeouts in 2007.
