March 31, 2009 – Are you shocked? Hell, I”m not. When you sleep with the Devil – you take it in the assets.

So, a few months ago, while Junior was still in residency at 1600, the (once) B I G Three Auto makers from the Mutha City (Detroit) came to town to beg for financial AIDS from Big Brother and the holding Company (CON-ress). They all flew down to the city of DeCeit – Washington, you know – BIG cars, loose wimmen, little choir boys (pages) and 535 Traitors with no balls.

Moe (Alan Mulally), Larry (Robert Nardelli) and Curly (Richard Wagoner) came in on those BIG corporate jets, each of which I am sure has burled paneled walls, BIG screen tv’s, a fully stocked bar, and maybe even some more loose wimmins! Wearing their BEST $3,000 Armani suits with their rich, Corinthian leather shoes (sorry Ricardo), they plopped their BIG asses down at the table in front of the CON-gressional twits and stated their cases, as to why they should be bailed out, like the boys on Wall Street and Bankers Alley.

“Damn, Moneybags,” they stated, “Why if you don’t give us the dinero, the entire economy of the Western World will collapse and we’ll all be stuck driving those damned Jap cars.” (As if many of us are anyway). Can’t have that! “Plymouth, and mah Daddy’s merry old Oldsmobile are gone the way of the Packard and Hudson. We can’t allow Chebby and Ford and Christ-ler to go belly up. Who will pay the Union dues?“

Well, the stoo-pid public watched this stuff on their boob-tubes, between reruns of Seinfeld and Lost, and got down right pissed off. It seems that both public and the CON-gress Critters (CC) were offended that the CEO’s of American manufacturing companies just flat-out were not deserving of ‘Bail-Out’ money, like those non-producing scions (another Jap car) of international wealth robbing – the Gangstah Bankstahs and the Wall Street Wizzers. “No sirree Bob! We only give to crooks, who produce nothing. After all, you guys have been promising better cars and trucks for years, but you gave us the Pinto, the Vega and the ‘K’ cars. All the while, you were making sure that you could retire on BIG pensions. ‘Screw the Company,’ you said. Now you show up here begging for help. Well, maybe if you had driven down here in one of your new hybrids, it might have looked better to the public. Couldn’t you have at least plane-pooled? Go home and come up with a new plan and come back here with your hat in your hand. HEY! Maybe a cheap suit off the rack at Robert Hall would send a better message too.“

So, these three Stooges flew back to Dee-Troit, and gave instructions to convert a couple of gas-guzzlers into fuel-efficient tin cans, and prepare for the return to DC. And back they came – and got a little something for their trouble – all but FORD, who saw the light and said, “Thanks, but No thanks!” This would turn out to be a smart move. Hot damn, I was able to just get my order in under the wire for the 50th anniversary edition of the Edsel.

Well, the other two idiots went home, with cash in their pockets and a stick up their – uh – posterior orifice – and the piper would soon come calling – in the form of the Black Avenger – one Barry Soetoro (Obama Y.O. Momma, to you idiots out there).

Some months go by, and Larry, over at Chrysler (desperately needing the guidance of one Lee Iacocca) is feverishly negotiating with Fiat (Fix It Again Tony) to facilitate a merger of sorts. Moe and his firm, have already announced (without the AIDS of government ASS-istance) has announced that Ford is paying down a chunk of their debt, while Larry, who previously took $13 BILLION of taxpayers money, seems to be showing no friggin’ remorse, and is ready to come back to the table, is TOLD by the Chief Usuper at 1600 to, ‘Get Out!’ The headlines said it all, U.S. Lays Down Terms for Auto Bailout

It has often said, “The Piper MUST be paid.”

From the New York Times, “His resignation is the latest example of the government taking a hands-on role in making major decisions at companies it is bailing out. The government has already pushed banks to make management changes and sharply reduce or eliminate their dividends, and it also is directing many of the decisions at the troubled insurance giant American International Group, which is nearly 80 percent owned by the government after its rescue.

In deciding to urge Mr. Wagoner to step down, the Obama administration seemed mindful of the public’s growing outrage over bailouts of private companies, as well as the bonuses paid to employees of A.I.G.‘

I make no statement as to how these American company’s have chosen to conduct their business, however through my own experience as a member of the Automotive Industry many years ago, the B I G Three, have never learned their lessons. Earlier, I referenced the ‘father’ of the Ford Mustang, Lee Iacocca – a man, who went to the American tax-payer several decades ago, borrowed a lot of money from the Government, and paid it back after doing what was necessary, while he was at the helm of Chrysler. BUT – this was a man, who had automotive oil in his veins. These modern clowns, have drunk from the well of Jim Jones, and couldn’t drive a golf cart down their own driveways.

During two energy crisis in the 1970’s, Ford gave us a rolling bomb, in the form of the Pinto, and GM gave us recycled beer cans on four wheels and called it the Vega – all the while, the Japanese were gaining with the Toyota, Datsun and the Subaru (introduced as I remember, in the US in 1973 with brand new 1972 models). Volkswagen was still King of the Hill with fuel efficiency and reliability.

And Curly walks away from General Motors, with a $20 MILLION+ Platinum Parachute. What a Dick!

The point of all of this is, if you beg BIG Brutha to bail your lilly-white ass out – be prepared to suffer the consequences.

What happened to Curly (GM CEO, Richard Wagoner) should be a wake up call to every business, State, City, Village and Hamlet in America, just how much ‘CHANGE’ the Red Menace has brought to the White House. How much of your freedom are you willing to give up, by accepting gifts from a Greek, or a Kenyan, for that matter! As to the several references to AIDS – well – if you have unprotected sex – you could get this dreaded disease.

When you sleep with the Devil – you take it in the ass-ets.

Good-bye America, wherever you may be. I could go for a Hummer tonight!

Without Apology I am,
