Well, limp, you're going to have to deal with it. GM got a bailout and is making money again. That's irritating to the right-wing, but better that than the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation on the hook for any shortfalls in the pension plan (to which AA is trying to slough their obligations by going Chapter 11).

The post is about Fox News (and their guests) spouting out-and-out FUD about the Volt. Critique the Volt if you like, but at least be honest. You're not ignorant, and you're not stupid, but like Fox, you're disingenuous. Many of your criticisms could have also been leveled at the original Prius -- significantly more expensive and complicated than a Corolla -- but, in time, the hybrid it introduced has been an unqualified success. So I'll repeat a question I made elsewhere. If a plug-in hybrid like the Volt is such a bad idea, why is clever Toyota doing it too?

Also, if you think catching a flight on an airline in Chapter 11 is like buying a car from a bankrupt auto maker, why don't you go buy a Saab?
