Radio: Cavanaugh Waxes Solyndrical with Fresno's Inga Barks, Tonight

Reason Senior Editor Tim Cavanaugh will discuss the expanding story of the Solyndra bankruptcy tonight with KMJ radio's Inga Barks. 

Topics: 

Why does the Obama Administration now have three different agencies investigating Solyndra when the House Republicans were doing a fine job all on their own? 

Did everyone really know that the job-happy American job-creating All-American Solyndra plant full of American jobs in Fremont, California couldn't work? 

How many other Solyndras are out there? 

Would we be paying even more right now if the House Republicans had not exposed Solyndra? 

In China the government runs not only the green energy industry but the reporting on the green energy industry, so you never have to hear about companies like Solyndra. So if we were more like China we'd solve this problem. Why can't everybody see that logic? 

Time and place: 

8:00 PM Pacific time (11:00 PM Eastern) 

Tune your crystal set to KMJ in beautiful Fresno, California: 580AM or 105.9FM, or listen live online at KMJ's site on the international cybertubes.

Godwinned with the alt-text?

Solyndra was the precursor to Skynet. Obama did us all a favor on this. The hunter-killers were going to be solar powered.

It's spelled Solyndracal.

[sevo]

Naah, it's:
"Scandal"

[Erie, CO Dentist]

lol, why is everyone so dagn mean? Come on, now...

[Binky]

This is a rhetorical question, right?

[johnl]

Did BHO even notice that he could see through the solar panel? That didn't seem strange to him?

[John Thacker]

The Solyndra expose is a reminder of why partisanship is often a good thing. Sheer civic mindedness would not be enough to get a party to investigate this.

[Hazel Meade]

Yeah, I'm curious as to why the FBI felt the need to raid the place.
Typically, when a company goes bankrupt, it just files. It's not illegal to declare bankruptcy. You only call the FBI in if their fraud or embezzlement going on.

[johnl]

Given that their business plan was to make solar panels that were, just look, at least *pi* times more expensive than their competitors, there sure had better be some embezzling going on.

[Stalin Book Club Treasurer]

Maybe to seize and hide damning information before Darrell Issa got his hands on it.

[Barack O.]

Let me be clear, it will be shown that Solyndra's failure was due to their possibly criminal activities. You should keep this in mind, and not be distracted by notions that we have been spending taxpayer money on picking market losers.

[Hazel Meade]

Bwahaha ... ok... I see ... so the FBI raid is so that the administration can say their were deceived about the company's viability. Not that they wrongly assessed it. That makes it more clear now.

[Enjoy Every Sandwich]

Yes! In fact, this isn't a scandal at all! The Dear Leader saved us from these capitalist running-dog criminals! Treat yourself to a slug of Victory Gin!

[Winston Smith]

** urp **

I love Big Brother!

[Pro Libertate]

Killing capitalism. . .one business at a time.

Brilliant, comrade!

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Keep in mind that there was a warrant served, so presumably a judge signed off. Still, it's mighty fishy.

Dear Sir,

What do these solar panel cost?

I am interested purchased some.

So, Cavanaugh was waxing the old cylinder with Inga last night, eh?

[Number 2]

Why are we wasting time on this distraction when we should all be focusing instead on who Sarah Palin allegedly slept with decades ago?
