i love the way troubled us corporations like gm continue to use spin. in its tv ads for the employee discount, gm says its all because the company is celebrating its 100th anniversary -- as opposed to the real fact that gm is in desperate straits and needs to move product as fast as possible at fire sale prices. i just put up a new thread that the wall street journal reports today -- friday -- that it has begun formal talks with potential buyers of the brand and plans to use the revenue it generates from the sale of hummer to produce small, fuel efficient cars. my lease on my 07 h3 lux ends in february. i hope i can buy it a true fire sale price.
