I've heard of Barracudas and Mako Sharks, but never a Crappie. Who
made it?

But the typical vintage of a car hitting 150K today is 1995 or maybe a
little newer. If you are conceding that 1995 GM cars were crappy, how
would you know that the 2009 are good for 150K?

Yadda yadda. The question to you, Mike, is: Should we give taxpayer
money to GM, Ford and Chrysler?

That's one of the reasons I finally ploinked Mike. I'm not listening
because he keeps repeating the same old stuff over and over again. My
experience is 'not valid'. He's as much as called me a hillbilly. He also
thinks every red-blooded American ought to lust after a full sized American
Land Yacht, and actually feels pity for anyone who 'can't afford one'. He
thinks he's smart, but he's not as smart as Henry Ford.

First the female crappie lays some eggs on the river or lake bottom.
Then the male crappie fertilizes the eggs. Months later they hatch and
a whole school of crappies is born. Soon they grow to become full
sized fish. Some like to fish for them; others consider them a
nuisance fish.

Of course you should: his pension and health benefits are at stake.
