Because no matter how many patches you give that 40 year old shoulder, you're not going to the beach volleyball games at the Olympics and it would be cruel to set you up for that crushing disappointment. What with being a weak minded woman and all.

they want their fad back.

Keep that in mind. All superlatives aside, they've worse, twice. Anyway only about 9% of the total cost of production is labor. So even if GM implodes it won't account for that many direct jobs. The upstream channel will suffer for sure however.

Remember that Chrysler is no longer a public company. American motors went away a long time ago. As did all the other US brands like Packard, Studebaker, Kaiser, and so on.

If GM becomes a subsidiary of Fiat or Tata or Cherry, so what? As it is, it will probably just devolve into GMC, Cadillac and Chevy brands alone. They will jettison Saab, Hummer, Pontiac. Saturn will probably get forced into Chevy.

A real headset that allows me to answer the phone while I'm listening to something else. Otherwise having the bud sticking out my ear doing nothing is just a G-Thug fashion accessory.

That's awesome. Rich San Fran Faux Hippies fighting for the massive record companies against The Man.

Like Glenn Greenwald's Great Blue Dog Pogrom.

I have heard more stirring speeches on CSPAN coverage of the Congressional committee hearings into citrus fruit regulations. Someone should make McCain smoke crack to get him to wake up.

Thank you Mr Greenwald for your seventh straight posting of that snippet. My post was about how, in essence, it's self serving to claim that all these dark conspiracies are real w/o once ever producing any real evidence regarding them.

I know, heady stuffy, my mistake. I'm sorry if that was offensive, inflammatory or in any way a violation of the rules of the road here. I will endeavor to only agree with the majority opinion and champion it strenuously from here on in.

They were telling you how your vote could be against their interests and by implication yours too. I sometimes get pretty sick of the hyperbole of feigned outrage.

Anyway don't more than half of Americans stay home? What makes you think the slackers at Wal*Mart get out and vote more than average?

I....am....a....mindless....zombie

braaaaaaaiiinnnnsssssss

When variable rate labor gets too expensive they are replaced by robots. Direct labor is a smaller component than benefits overhang for current and former employees. But the basic problem was, if anyone bothered to spend 10 seconds and check, that their sales dropped almost 20%. Auto sales don't have wide margins so a 20% sales drop in one qtr is huge.

Cmon fess up. It's like telling you you have a small penis AND you have an ugly baby. Obama doesn't walk on water? That's unpossible. Let's kill that messenger.

Chew you out? No, caress you tonguewise until you scream.

"Women go crazy on their wedding day"

Bullshit.

Crazy ass psychobitch high maintenance harpies are crazy on their wedding day AS WELL. A good retort to that torrent of insane demands would be "At least we BOTH don't have to fuck the groom much longer."

They'll take your vote. But soon enough, a Quisling is a Quisling. They're the first ones lined up and shot. I mean if you're not going to be loyal to your own revolution how can they trust you with theirs?

Jack Ryan was the Republican incumbent who had a lock on the Senate seat contested by Obama. But silly Jack overestimated the anger of his Hollywood hottie Jerri Ryan (7 of 9, Star Trek) who, in their divorce filing noted that he had repeatedly pressured her into group sex, swingers clubs, public sex, wife swapping, etc. etc. At that point the election was over for Ryan and Obama walked to victory and a national stage custom made for him.

So maybe he's not the messiah, but it's awfully Biblical, isn't it? And by Biblical I mean tawdry and accidental.

Salon gave up reporting news a long time ago. Then it gave up 'journalism' and became a blog. Now it's just a 'critique' of sorts of the reactions of loons to YouTube videos.

Good Job. Relevant. Fresh. Dead On.

That the Democrats win when they adopt most of the policies of the GOP. And that just pisses off the GOP worse than losing in the first place. The really funny part this time is McCain seems too addled to even notice that.

hanging with your girlfriends. I think women are much more enamored of the idea of a gentle sensitive supportive mate than the reality of it. After all, who'd be left to scold and micromanage?

Everyone knows Oprah is the second coming.

Or the all banjo white boy orchestra.

As incomes rise couples tend to have fewer children. But I understand that 'middle class' is a dirty word around here.

It's social welfare state where essentially NO Saudis work. Almost their entire productive economy is outsourced to foreign labor. At best there is 40% real unemployment when you add up no jobs and government no-show jobs. The population is exploding it is scheduled to double in 30 years. Given that the government represents more than 60% of the economy and oil is 80%+ of the economy, and there is no effort to create jobs or education for the men let alone the women, I'd say that you folks cheering for high oil prices are underwriting the permanent cradle to grave jobless social welfare nanny state for the Saudis. It would chaos if the well pampered Saudis suddenly didn't have those supports. Then you'd have to run articles blaming America for that for a whole week.

Some high maintenance surgically altered chick would not last that long. Even if she could open a bottle with her Kegels.

Sorry, those are the rules.

Just keep demanding do-overs until you win. China is the new affirmative action.
