Carly Fiorina's campaign may be in trouble. More than a decade ago Ms. Fiorina made comments to the effect that she dabbled in corporate management when she was a young woman. While her efforts led to the devaluing of Hewlett Packard stock by almost half, Fiorina made light of the whole matter, “How many of you did not hang out with questionable folks on Wall Street?”

GOP guru Rove said Sunday that will be a continuing problem.

Automobile sales are slow. Around here, local car dealers are offering 1% financing, 0% financing, leases, and even their own version of Cash for Clunkers. $4,500 off, supposedly. Heh.

Last year, I thought Cash for Clunkers was a fair stimulus plan but not much of an environmental benefit. From what I read, many customers traded in their clunkers for what I considered slightly newer clunkers, SUVs and trucks, with only slightly better mileage. Supporters argued that even a small improvement in mileage was significant, but I had a more aggressive agenda.

I have come to regard nutritional advice as a giant pendulum. It swings one way and you are supposed to drink eight to ten glasses of water a day; a few years go by, the pendulum swings back, and - no one can remember who was giving us that advice.
