Raise The Roof

I'm back on the proposed bailout of the auto companies today, because I don't think we should be giving these dunderheads any dough.

For example, the current CEO of GM, Rick Wagoner, has presided over 73 billion dollars in losses since 2005. GM has lost six percent of its market share, and experienced a stock decline of 95 per cent.

Usually, you don't have to have numbers that bad to get fired.

If Wagoner were an NFL coach he would have been gone long ago, anywhere it seems, but Detroit, which is currently 0-12. I don't know what you have to do to get fired at General Motors, where the executives think they're on the right track.

They have no plan, but they're on the right track.

Riiiighttt!

And I'm not excluding Ford and Chrysler here, because they don't have a plan either. Neither do the current recipients of billions and billions of taxpayer dollars, the latest of which is Citigroup, which is getting its bandaids and burn cream as we speak.

But not one executive at any of these companies has lost his job. No, taxpayer money is still paying these pigs exorbitant salaries for running their companies straight into the pig flop.

All you hear all day long is that it isn't their fault. And it is not the fault of Congress, because God knows they aren't smart enough to deal with numbers this big. I doubt whether there is anyone in either chamber who could give a rational explanation for what's going on.

But don't worry, Minnesota is probably going to send Al Franken to Washington to fix the problems. Remind me never to visit a place that is that stupid. The thought of that little twerp standing in the Senate makes me ill.

(Not that there aren't some real reprobates there now, but Franken would take it to a new level.)

Don't back off your opposition to this auto bailout. Let these imbeciles know how you feel. If you don't you had better start reserving your place in line.
