Heading Off!

Do you have a child that is heading off to college anytime soon? And now they’re taking about heading over to the United Kingdom to attend collage. If this sounds like something that’s going on with you right now you need to check out the student accommodation leeds , UK. These guys have been providing student accommodation for over 40 years now. And what I like is the fact that they only rent what they own. That means your child will be staying in a well maintain rental unit. And you will be able to relax a little knowing that your child is staying somewhere nice. So do your research before sending your child off to the UK, and make sure you include Pickard in your search for places to live.

Glittery Glove!

That famous glittery glove worn by Michael Jackson in the video “Billie Jean” is coming up for auction. The video was produced back in 1983. When I read this report online about the glove I remembered it instantly, and I know you do too. If you don’t remember that glove you’re either to young or you lived in the closet. I was never really a fan of his, I was more into the heavy metal music but I thought he had a few good songs. But if you’re a fan of Michael Jackson, Mr. King of Pop, he’s auctioning off other personal items. And the auction is going to be taking place in April 2009. I read that you can even bid on the gates Neverland Ranch. When stars start auctioning off their crap they’re usually strapped for cash. And with all his legal problems he’s hurting pretty badly. Here’s what he should do, get his act together. I would be willing to bet that there are a lot of his fans out there. Just simply by cleaning up his act he could be making millions again. I don’t think he could do it on his own, he’s needs to find someone to help him. He has always said he’ll be back, but when, and will he be clean? If he’s not clean and straight he will fail, what do you think?

The Big Three Babies!

It looks like Detroit’s Big Three Babies will be getting a little less than half of their bailout loan, $15 billion. GM, Ford and Chrysler will collapse with this amount of money, why even give it to them. I guess their calling this a short-term loan. I was reading that some economists think they really need $75 billion to $125 billion to survive over the next year. If these automakers had asked for this money a year ago Congress would have told them no way. The U.S Congress is only agreeing to this because we really can’t afford to lose anymore jobs as a Nation. I liked President Bush’s idea, just them the $25 billion already sitting there for them. The only think is the bill that gave them that money is for building cleaner running cars, but no one likes that idea. I say let all three fall apart, they deserve it. This way, by filing for bankruptcy it will break all contracts with the UAW. And then they could layoff every single employee, then hire them back at half their pay, they would save billions. These works are getting paid over $50 an hour just to make a car, that’s way to high, blame that on the UAW. The automakers would come out of bankruptcy so much stronger than trying to get these loans. Most if not all-big companies come out of bankruptcy much stronger. It’s like starting with a clean plate.
