 <div class="win quotebody">NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The nation's top automakers reported disappointing sales Wednesday, resulting in the worst August for industrywide auto sales in 27 years.<br /><br />According to sales tracker Autodata, U.S. new vehicle sales fell just short of 1 million vehicles, a drop of 21% from a year ago, which included Cash for Clunkers. That federal program created a sugar rush of sales by dangling an incentive of up to $4,500 in cash for buyers who traded in older gas guzzlers for more efficient models.<br /><br />Industry sales also fell 5% from July levels. August sales typically outpace July, as deals become available on older models ahead of the fall introduction of new model year cars. August sales would equate to an annual sales pace of about 11.5 million vehicles.<br /><br />"Car buying is far from repaired, and consumers hesitate before they make a big ticket purchase," said Jesse Toprak, an analyst with the auto pricing Web site Truecar.com. "It shows that the recovery is going to be much slower and more painful than expected."<br /><br />This year was the weakest August sales total since the 993,100 sold in 1983. Analysts had been forecasting a weak month, with expected sales of about 1.03 million. Most of the major automakers fell short of estimates. The soft demand for autos is seen by economists as another sign of growing weakness among nervous consumers.<br /><br />GM sales toppled 25% from a year ago, partly because of comparisons to the Cash for Clunkers program of last summer. The federal program created a sugar rush of sales by dangling an incentive of up to $4,500 in cash for buyers who traded in older gas guzzlers for more efficient models.</div>

 <div class="win3 quoteby"><strong>Quoted Text</strong></div>
 <div class="win quotebody">The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their<br />commitment to save the planet and to do the following<br />IMMEDIATELY:<br />1. The Discovery Channel and it's affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time<br />slots based on Daniel Quinn's "My Ishmael" pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be<br />done in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people building on each other's<br />inventive ideas. Focus must be given on how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy<br />human children since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution. A game show format<br />contest would be in order. Perhaps also forums of leading scientists who understand and agree with the<br />Malthus-Darwin science and the problem of human overpopulation. Do both. Do all until something<br />WORKS and the natural world starts improving and human civilization building STOPS and is<br />reversed! MAKE IT INTERESTING SO PEOPLE WATCH AND APPLY SOLUTIONS!!!!<br />2. All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human<br />infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs' places, programs encouraging<br />human sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in the<br />direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it.<br />3. All programs promoting War and the technology behind those must cease. There is no sense in<br />advertising weapons of mass-destruction anymore. Instead, talk about ways to disassemble civilization<br />and concentrate the message in finding SOLUTIONS to solving global military mechanized conflict.<br />Again, solutions solutions instead of just repeating the same old wars with newer weapons. Also, keep<br />out the fraudulent peace movements. They are liars and fakes and had no real intention of ending the<br />wars. ALL OF THEM ARE FAKE! On one hand, they claim they want the wars to end, on the other,<br />they are demanding the human population increase. World War II had 2 Billion humans and after that<br />war, the people decided that tripling the population would assure peace. WTF??? STUPIDITY! MORE<br />HUMANS EQUALS MORE WAR!<br />4. Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is. That, and all its disgusting religious-cultural roots and<br />greed. Broadcast this message until the pollution in the planet is reversed and the human population<br />goes down! This is your obligation. If you think it isn't, then get hell off the planet! Breathe Oil! It is the<br />moral obligation of everyone living otherwise what good are they??<br />5. Immigration: Programs must be developed to find solutions to stopping ALL immigration pollution<br />and the anchor baby filth that follows that. Find solutions to stopping it. Call for people in the world to<br />develop solutions to stop it completely and permanently. Find solutions FOR these countries so they<br />stop sending their breeding populations to the US and the world to seek jobs and therefore breed more<br />unwanted pollution babies. FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THEM TO STOP THEIR HUMAN GROWTH<br />AND THE EXPORTATION OF THAT DISGUSTING FILTH! (The first world is feeding the<br />population growth of the Third World and those human families are going to where the food is! They<br />must stop procreating new humans looking for nonexistant jobs!)<br />6. Find solutions for Global Warming, Automotive pollution, International Trade, factory pollution, and<br />the whole blasted human economy. Find ways so that people don't build more housing pollution which<br />destroys the environment to make way for more human filth! Find solutions so that people stop breeding<br />as well as stopping using Oil in order to REVERSE Global warming and the destruction of the planet!<br />7. Develop shows that mention the Malthusian sciences about how food production leads to the<br />overpopulation of the Human race. Talk about Evolution. Talk about Malthus and Darwin until it sinks<br />into the stupid people's brains until they get it!!<br />8. Saving the Planet means saving what's left of the non-human Wildlife by decreasing the Human<br />population. That means stopping the human race from breeding any more disgusting human babies!<br />You're the media, you can reach enough people. It's your resposibility because you reach so many<br />minds!!!<br />9. Develop shows that will correct and dismantle the dangerous US world economy. Find solutions for<br />their disasterous Ponzi-Casino economy before they take the world to another nuclear war.<br />10. Stop all shows glorifying human birthing on all your channels and on TLC. Stop Future Weapons<br />shows or replace the dialogue condemning the people behind these developments so that the shows<br />become exposes rather than advertisements of Arms sales and development!<br />11. You're also going to find solutions for unemployment and housing. All these unemployed people<br />makes me think the US is headed toward more war.<br />Humans are the most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around and are wrecking what's left of the<br />planet with their false morals and breeding culture.<br />For every human born, ACRES of wildlife forests must be turned into farmland in order to feed that new<br />addition over the course of 60 to 100 YEARS of that new human's lifespan! THIS IS AT THE<br />EXPENSE OF THE FOREST CREATURES!!!! All human procreation and farming must cease!<br />It is the responsiblity of everyone to preserve the planet they live on by not breeding any more children<br />who will continue their filthy practices. Children represent FUTURE catastrophic pollution whereas<br />their parents are current pollution. NO MORE BABIES! Population growth is a real crisis. Even one<br />child born in the US will use 30 to a thousand times more resources than a Third World child. It's like a<br />couple are having 30 babies even though it's just one! If the US goes in this direction maybe other<br />countries will too!<br />Also, war must be halted. Not because it's morally wrong, but because of the catastrophic environmental<br />damage modern weapons cause to other creatures. FIND SOLUTIONS JUST LIKE THE BOOK SAYS!<br />Humans are supposed to be inventive. INVENT, DAMN YOU!!<br />The world needs TV shows that DEVELOP solutions to the problems that humans are causing, not<br />stupify the people into destroying the world. Not encouraging them to breed more environmentally<br />harmful humans.<br />Saving the environment and the remaning species diversity of the planet is now your mindset. Nothing<br />is more important than saving them. The Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes,<br />Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels.<br />The humans? The planet does not need humans.<br />You MUST KNOW the human population is behind all the pollution and problems in the world, and<br />YET you encourage the exact opposite instead of discouraging human growth and procreation. Surely<br />you MUST ALREADY KNOW this!<br />I want Discovery Communications to broadcast on their channels to the world their new program lineup<br />and I want proof they are doing so. I want the new shows started by asking the public for inventive<br />solution ideas to save the planet and the remaining wildlife on it.<br />These are the demands and sayings of Lee.<br /></div>

 <div class="win quotebody">EDGARTOWN - Another Sunday, another missed opportunity for&nbsp;&nbsp;President Obama&nbsp;&nbsp;to prove to America he’s not a Muslim.<br /><br />But instead of attending church services at one of the dozens and dozens of quaint, island Christian churches yesterday morning, the commander in chief hit Our Lady of the Fairways, aka the Vineyard Golf Club, yet again, to play 18.<br /><br />Obama again teed off with Chicago pal Eric Whitaker and aide Marvin Nicholson . Rounding out the foursome was Bill Lewis, a regular Vineyard vacationer who played with Obama and Whitaker last year. Once again, the press corps was kept far, far away from the presidential golf party.<br /><br />Perhaps the Leader of the Free World is a little sensitive about his game. Because our spies report that Barry was hacking away at a ball in the bunker on the 12th hole - a la Judge Elihu Smails - before giving up and throwing it onto the green. Shades of Bill Clinton!<br /><br />Anyway, it was Obama’s second outing to the posh, private golf club since landing Thursday on The Rock. The prez teed off at 8:30 a.m. under cloudy, drizzly skies. A perfect day to be inside. Like, say, in church!<br /><br />Now you’d think, with polls showing that one in five Americans believe Obama is a Muslim - and with the furor over the president’s flip-flops on the Ground Zero mosque - that his White House handlers might have orchestrated a nice little photo op of the first family doing a little vacation worshiping yesterday morning.<br /><br />Because, despite the administration’s insistence that Barry is a Christian and that he prays daily, most Americans have noticed that Obama rarely attends church. That’s a noticeable departure from previous presidents, such as George W. Bush and Clinton, who were on their knees every Sunday.<br /><br />Of course, the last time Obama had a regular church, it was Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright fame, and, well, we all know how that turned out.<br /><br />The president’s handlers have said Obama doesn’t attend services regularly because he doesn’t want to be “hugely disruptive to congregations.” This is apparently not an issue on the golf course. Especially now that the Secret Service is following the boss in golf carts instead of those giant SUVs they drove down the fairways last year!</div>
