Senator Frank announced (heard that on again CNBC) that a auto bail out deal could come as early as later this afternoon (MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY)
 
Funny, as how the biggggg three only make money on their BIG trucks (AKA SUV's) Indeed, the UAW president understands this also. So if SUV's and other big cars are now ... verboten...... not so much as a PEEP as to how they propose to get profitable with out them!!!??? UAW are not backing down one iota on wage concessions, as they have loudly proclaimed earlier so called "concessions"...!!!!
 
This is better than (fake) reality TV.

But we will save on the newspaper bill. They will all be gone. That will make the tree huggers happy. I'm glad it was the young people that voted this bunch in. They are going to be stuck with the enormous debt.

they'll be tossing tea in the harbor.
 
You sure you didn't mean oil from a tanker? I'll burn some extra wood and oil tonight to make up for any canceled flights. Temps. in the single-digits tonite again; but that's just weather every year.

Bogus has about 4" but it didn't open until 12/20 last year. Hard frost and an inch in town last night. Everyone talks about it but no one does anything about it.
 
But there's always Al Gore.
 
How about this - Al for Auto Czar?
 
"The [bailout] program would be overseen by an official, tapped by President George W. Bush, whom congressional aides and lawmakers describe as an "auto czar." This person would act as a kind of trustee with authority to bring together labor, management, creditors and parts suppliers to negotiate a restructuring plan. He or she also would be able to review any transaction or contract valued at more than $25 million."
 
WSJ
 
Before you laugh too hard, Al did meet with POTUS-elect Obama the other day.

I would think that if the Bush administration goes along with the bill, he would pick someone that Obama would keep in the job. Big AL would be as rough on the Big 3 as Ralph Nader. Here is a tough pill for the automakers to swallow. CA could say you have to build only ZEV cars and they are out of business overnight.
 
One danger for auto makers is exposing the industry to congressional meddling as it attempts to build a new business model. The legislation, among other things, would bar the companies from participating in legal challenges to state laws designed to impose limits on greenhouse-gas emissions. The White House opposes that provision, congressional aides said.

Well, if you don't like Gore, there's always Dingle's wife.
