Anyhow, in the spirit of distraction, here's a new ad for the Big 3. Although, given that the bailout failed, it's a little premature. Another example of poor planning by Detroit, I guess.
Not sure if you can read the fine print. It says: "You probably thought it was a smart idea to buy a foreign import of superior quality, with better mileage and resale value. Maybe you even thought that years of market share loss might prod us into rethinking our process and redesigning our products with better quality in mind. But you forgot one thing: We spend a shitload of money on lobbyists. So now you're out $25 billion, plus the cost of your Subaru. Maybe next time, you'll buy American like a real man. Either way, we're cool."

has paul krugman commented on the auto bailout yet? i hate the idea of 3 million people losing there jobs when these companies go under but it just doesn't make business sense to reward them for mismanagement. seems like a short-term, finger-in-the-dike strategy.
