Tesla Motors is now taking orders for the Model S, an all electric family sedan that carries seven people and travels 300 miles per charge. The Model S, which carries its charger onboard, can be recharged from any 120V, 240V or 480V outlet, with the latter taking only 45 minutes.

36 campaigns took funds from gov't bailed out firms during Feb. Where's the outrage? This video report from MSNBC details how YOUR REPRESENTATIVES padded their own campaign coffers by taking funds from firms on the government bail out list.

The national Nielsens are in, and it looks like The Barack Obama Tuesday Night Feel Good Hour suffered a substantial ratings decline compared with his two most recent heavily covered evening events. 40.4 million of us endured the punishing 60 minute lie, laff and gaff fest, that's a drop of 18% from his Feb. 9 press conference, and a 23% drop from his Feb. 24 address to Congress.

Aside from a super-sized sell job (with help from "Tickles the Teleprompter") for his massive budget, there was little, if anything, substantial in the one-hour quest fest.

More and more, it's appearing that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is either lacks the skills needed to affect a true turn around of the economy, or he's just way in over his head and is getting little, if any, breathable air from the Obama administration. In either case, his credibility is falling like stocks during a sell-off.
