A lot of stuff happened last week while I was out of the country. Flu pandemics, Arlen Specter (again), NLRB appointments...wow, dude.

Fiat, which makes the .....ummm...Fiats.
Ok. I still don't understand it. When I don't understand something, I often turn to twitter search to see what the twitterati have to say about a topic.
Here's a slice of what is being said on twitter about the UAW, Fiat, Obama, Chrysler et al....hey, including @jack_welch I didn't know Jack was tweeting!
