Your Cheatin' Heart
When Hank Williams sang his song about cheatin' in 1952 it really could choke you up. Fast forward and we have political candidates accusing others of "lying" and being "crooked". Now in the real world yesterday's paper had the following two items on the same page:
-Volkswagen has set aside $18 Billion to cover the fallout of their cheating on exhaust emissions.
-And Mitsubishi says it cheated on fuel tests for decades. I would think someone might fall on their sword for this
one. I can still hear old Senator Charlie Tobey yelling at mobster Frank Costello "Be ye clean!" But, then again, they say that politics ain't beanbag!.
