    NPR: Nader Announces New Bid for White House

    Hopefully this doesn't sway the election.

    Quoted: Ralph Nader said Sunday he will run for president as a third-party candidate, criticizing the top White House contenders as too close to big business and pledging to repeat a bid that will "shift the power from the few to the many."

      Not a chance this time around. It's interesting that he's not even "decided" if he's running as the Green Party candidate. If he does not, then he's got to get the 5% petitions to get on the ballot as an independent candidate in each state.

      Do the Greens still want him?

      Ack! If Nader hadn't run, we wouldn't have suffered 8 years of George Bush. Is he secretly being paid by John McCain? If his running shifts any power, it's from the people to the Republican party.

    Three Vehicles Detroit Should Build - WSJ.com

    I just heard Ford sales were down 28% this June! The rest of the automakers announce later today.

    This could be the first month that Toyota outsells GM in the U.S. Last month, the Ford F-150 lost its top spot (to the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla) after many years at the top.

    Detroit needs to figure things out fast. To make things worse, not only is Detroit's slice of the pie shrinking, the pie is shrinking, too.

    Quoted: So, now what? Now, people want fuel efficiency, fuel efficiency and fuel efficiency. But not everyone wants a compact car. Plus, Honda and Toyota have the compact car business cornered anyway. Sure, Detroit needs better small cars. But to thrive General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC must go different ways than their Japanese rivals – and fast.

    The Championships, Wimbledon 2008 - Safin shines in the gloom

    I would like to see Safin make it deep in the second week. He's always had the talent and the game...just not enough consistency.

    Quoted: The former world number one Marat Safin won through to his first Grand Slam fourth round in almost two years this evening. In near-darkness on No.1 Court, the man who beat Novak Djokovic built on that success with a thrilling win over the No. 29 seed Andreas Seppi 7-6 (7-5), 3-6, 7-6 (7-3), 6-4. He will face Stanislas Wawrinka in the last 16.
