On December 31st, 2008 I posted a sarcastic (and hopefully not too offensive) post about how GM’s Rick Wagoner could very well have been Jesus. In that I offered this little prediction:
- Rick (at least his job) will likely be killed by foreigners (the same ones who have been persecuting “his people” for years)…
- …and it will happen in the spring (end of Q1 2009)…
Well the end of Q1 2009 is March 31st and today March 30th Rick Wagoner resigned from GM. DAMN, I missed it by 1 day…
Now I’m ready to double down. GM goes into a pre-arranged bankruptcy by the end of May 2009.
Please make sure to reread some of my other GM commentary:
Its Time to Demote the General (from November 10th, 2008) in which I say (as a casual aside) that the AIG bailout will get larger and yet still fail (WOO-HOO, two-for-two)
An expose (of sorts) showing that many “Japanese” cars are actually more “American” than those made by GM, Ford or that company that begins with a “C”.
A humorous look at how GM can save not just auto industry but also retailers and home owners.
And, of course, the original is Rick Jesus article
One final thought:
Chrysler is already a Japanese company. Afterall who else but the Japanese would partner first with the Germans (Mercedes-Benz) and then the Italians (Fiat) in what will turn out to be a failed effort for world (economic) domination.
Thanks for listening. Do us all a favor and please buy cars made in America (by Toyota, maybe Ford).
