“GM CEO resigns at Obama’s behest”
Why all the formality? I say we just put all the corporate fat cats into a Colloseum, have them fight armed members of the treasury department, and then let our new Emperor give a thumbs up or thumbs down to decide the fate of the survivors. At least then we could like, place bets and shit. 15 Comments ::: Post a comment »RSS feed for comments on this post.

He could have fired one of those AIG guys, but … you knw…
The white collar Auto executives? Not so much.

If I am not mistaken, Ford decided not to take the gubmint bailout money (and probably saw it for the poison pill it was).

#6 – that is why I am betting on them. They have some stones. I suspect that as Jeff suggests, ALL capitalist running dog executives will be fed into the pit, sooner or later (“I say we just put all the corporate fat cats into a coliseum”)

Someone needs to start tracking the campaign donations for CEO’s and other top executives @ Fortune 500 companies. I bet 2010 looks like a fuckin’ hockey stick when it comes to donating $$ to dems. These guys will quickly figure out what it takes to survive in the messiahnic era. GM’s CEO could quickly find himself running another large company if he’s only willing to “invest” a couple of hundred G’s in the right places. Not that I’m cynical or anything.

If only we had dinosaurs for them to fight in the colluseum (sp.) (it’s Monday and I don’t feel like looking it up). I would get Pay Per View for that.
They aren’t very good capitalists, are they?

Same story, Ford suckers:
Then why ask? To signal whose side it’s on. Not yours.
Grudging acceptance could be interpreted as playing dead to keep the bear off (like what Wells Fargo is doing). Asking can’t.
Asking is asking.
Not possible. There’s no room for the stick to go up. It’s their party, and it has been for a long time.
This is what they want.

What I want to know is who gets fed into the pit when we run out of capitalist running dog executives? ‘m a long way down in the corporate power structure, but it’s a pretty big pit.
All might not be lost, though. I got a phone call from Governor Mike Huckabee on Saturday. I wonder what he wanted?

He didn’t call during the Gaia Prayer Hour, did he?

ATF and Secret Service aren’t part of the Treasury Department anymore, so that gives the Corporate guys half a chance, anyway.
Bloated Fat Cats vs. Bloated Bureaucrats!

Actually, the CEO of Ford is pushing to peg the price of gas at $4/gallon to boost the appeal of his new line of hybrids…

First you’d have to find someone working at the treasury. And like, good luck with that.
