Huh?

Two things in the news had me doing a double-take today:

1. New vehicle emmission standards: Obama announced newer, tougher emmission standards that all U.S. car manufacturers will have to adopt by 2016.   Am I mistaken, or are these the same car manafucterers that are struggling to stay afloat that the government has already bailed out multiple times?  Seems to me that adding additional pressure is just going to make a bad situation worse.
2. Madoff’s Lawsuit: The executor for Madoff’s estate, butsiness, etc is suing one of the companies that invested in Madoff’s company claiming that they did not do enough due diligence and should of known that something was wrong.  This may be true, but since when does the person who commits the crime get to sue the victim.  This is crazy.  I hope some judge laughs this right out of court.
