This morning as I drove the Boychick to school, I turned on the radio.
I heard that President Obama had fired the CEO of GM.
My first sensation was a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
I almost had to pull Henry, the Big Red Truck (it's a Ford!) to the side of Frost Road.
My first thought was: Welcome to the USSA!
Does anyone remember the Yugo?

As General Motors' CEO, Rick Wagoner oversaw a company which refused to adjust to changing realities in the auto market while turning out crappy cars no one wanted to buy. And he still received a $20 million golden parachute on the way out the door. I wouldn't feel too sorry for him if I were you.
Oh, I'm not feeling particularly sorry for Wagoner. He should have told Bush to take a hike and filed for Chapter 11 last fall, thereby saving himself and the company all of this trouble.
I am feeling sorry for my children. When the president of the United States starts running automobile companies, the Constitution is in tatters.
Crazy! When I heard that I expected to hear some kind of uproar...but nobody seemed to care at all. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
