I'm not for bailing out the auto industry executives.

So I suggest we bail them out, with a big caveat - in exchange for the billions of dollars of .gov money, we take the companies' heads.

All of them. The CEOs, CFOs, presidents, vice presidents, directors - all of the high-level suit-wearing, cigar-smoking fucks turn in their resignations.

Not one of them should be allowed to keep their jobs. For that matter, they shouldn't be allowed to keep their severances either. No golden parachute as a reward for augering American industry into the dirt.

Each of those companies should be handed over to Obama-appointed executives for the duration of this financial shitstorm.

We should save the American auto industry, but not for the rich fucks.

Yeah, I'm ranting.

1. I'll buy into that rant.
And you know what else? Wait until after January 20 to do anything more with the bailouts.
