Non-Paper Daily, 12.19.2008

*Obama completed his cabinet today:
-Congressman Ray LaHood as Secretary of Transportation.
-Congresswoman Hilda Solis for Secretary of Labor.
-Former Dallas mayor Ron Kirk for for US Trade Representative.
-Karen Mills, a former venture capitalist, to lead the Small Business Administration

Not many thoughts except that Ray LaHood is a Republican, one of two or three if I'm not mistaken, that Obama has added to his cabinet.

*President Bush released just over $13 billion in bailout funds for the the American automakers. Considering the economic hurt we are in, this is probably a good idea. One of the last things we need is another couple million people out of work. If those companies are going to fail, it needs to happen when there is enough capital available for replacement companies to start up.

*And in the biggest news, today was my last day before Christmas break. Hooray!
