On GM plant to close by year's end

GM has a concept vehicle touring the auto show market. It's called the Cruze. If they would get that car into production, along with the Volt and revamp their big SUVs (aka Orlando--hopefully they ditch the Aztec'esque backend) and add another nicely styled with high quality and dependability gas efficient sedan: they WILL rebound.
.
In the interim, we bought 100 shares of the "junk" stock on this premise.

Clouds: How about if I counter your ridiculous "Democrats who aren't voting for Obama are racist" with "Men who aren't voting for the McCain/Palin ticket are sexist" or "Women who aren't voting for the McCain/Palin ticket have been told by their "old man" who they can vote for--and it ain't no hockey mom!"
.
All 3 statements are equally absurd.

I don't "care" who you vote for--as long as you vote!

Just in case my comment below is pulled, I didn't want the meat of my message to be lost.

clouds: Thank you for calling me a racist. You have no idea what ethnicity I am. You were ASSuming me to be white, but for all you know I could not be. I voted for Clinton in the primary because I did NOT like the other formiddable Democratic candidate. I vote for the person and their views. Whether they are an elephant or a donkey really holds little weight while making my political decisions.
.
I have never, nor will I ever, fill in the bubble on the ballot "straight party." I voted for Paul Ryan but yet a democratic presidential candidate. Hmmm....

BTW--I can't be racist. I have a color television.

On a more serious note: Not to discount what little Junior did, but parents, teachers and other adults need to band together so kids nowadays realize that while sticks and stone will break your bones, names will no longer never hurt you--they can get you killed. I dealt with a similar matter this weekend with one of my own children. The other parent thought it was a very serious matter, but yet didn't even grounded their child. When school found out, they were appalled and suspended Junior.

Isn't a partial birth abortion illegal by federal law in all 50 states?

Mainstreet: I don't know if that is a true story or not, but I love it. I have voted primarily, if not solely, democratic in prior elections. Not this year.

We were at the game last night. While the game atmosphere wasn't the same as usual, SOMETHING at half-time would have been better than nothing. Judging by all the comments around us, I highly doubt the half-time show would have been on the receiving end of any boos; regardless of who the group was (provdided they weren't from Ohio State, the Minnesota Vikings, or the 3 Stooges from Green Bay). IMHO.

led: sorry...I meant to say no one has BROKE that record since Joe Namath. Tied, yes. Broke it...no. It would have been fitting for Brett to break a fellow Jets' record during the FOURth week of the season...

As you told someone else, keep your pants on. And, I'm pretty sure it is YOU who should be ashamed!

On GM plant to close by year's end

GM can accelerate the closing all they want...but they still have to abide by the Wisconsin law and give them 60 days notice. With Ohio closing on December 23 (and GM passing up HUGE tax breaks, incentives and grants) I suspect GM will close Janesville December 23 as well and make that announcement within the next week.

I hope everyone directly and indirectly affected comes out of this ok. It will take time. :(
