How The Unions Killed Detroit; Or, What's Good For GM is NOT Good For America
Ford has lost $6 billion in the past two years. DaimlerChrysler lost $1.1 billion in the last quarter. GM now makes more money selling mortgages than selling cars. Meanwhile, the Japanese car companies (made in North America by non-union workers) are cleaning up.

So what is the answer? Detroit sez: Big Government! The Big Three have endorsed the prescription drug benefit as a means of reducing their own massive obligations to union retirees. I hope against hope that the next president will have the guts to let the Detroit dinosaurs die a natural death (this President doesn't).

I think American Cars jumped the shark when Cadillac gave Snoop Dogg his own brand.

Yeah, the other scumbags have gotten lazy, and I had to unplug my computer to make room for the Canadian Thanksgiving shindig. I'll probably be up and running tomorrow.

Canadian Thanksgiving? Please explain! That sounds made up.

Just another holiday those Canucks ripped off. Just like Canada day is July 3rd (what a coincidence), Canadian Thanksgiving is in the fall - the 2nd Monday of October, I believe. Their whole reason for being is that they are not America, but they are secretly dying to be more like us.
