    ....couldn't say it better myself:

    From CNN:

    " As is Detroit itself, as it reels anew from what the plummet of the industry that defines it has done to the city. Monday would have been a day when residents throughout Detroit and its suburbs would have hurried to their front doors at dawn to pick up the morning paper and read about Wagoner's departure.

    But there were no Detroit newspapers at Detroit's front doors Monday. It was the first day of the new incarnation of the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News. Staggered by the grim economy, the two Detroit papers from now on will publish online and provide a smaller newsstand product, but under brutal financial pressures will only deliver to subscribers' homes on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. So on this astonishing Monday in the history of General Motors, and the history of Detroit, the front steps were bare."

    And the Motown beat goes on......

    Hmmmmm.........would sh!t-canning the CEO be characterized as intervention?

    Now the President is guaranteeing the warranties.....looks like a pre-cursor to a bankruptcy filing to me.....

    Socialism is taking over thanks to Comrade Obama. Now the government hires and fires in private industry.

    Are you all paying attention to what's going on here because everyday you open your eyes you have less freedoms than the day before.

    I have a funny story, but I will have to share it with you privately. At least the juicier details.

    It's really something kinda spooky. Maybe it is a coincidence, but I really don't post about it publicly. Email?
