If I was an AJ employee, I’d be damned skittish about “cuts”.....we all know what “cuts” mean to Muslims.

Don’t worry Obama will close down more coal plants and shut down more drilling so the Arabs stop suffering “low oil prices”

When is AJ going to be taken off my “standard” list of cable TV programming and made into a “premium list” option?

Good for Detroit. The bikes at least have gotten good reviews. Haven’t heard about the rest of the product line.
