Panic in Detroit

By Marc Roberts on March 21, 2009 | 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks | Share on Facebook

The markets flail about like landed cod and even the mighty Ford and General Motors face the prospect of bankrupcy. Suddenly we're all social democrats again and intervention is the name of the game - (in some things).

The political class seeks a route through the mess so that we can steam full ahead over the precipice's edge, and have luxury goods to play with as we plummet...

Oh - I know I shouldn't, and if there was a hell I would go there...but...when there is so much hopeless tragedy visited upon the innocent in the endless procession of road deaths, it's nice to know that witless shits get offed too.
