I read this by Eric Kleefeld last night...
..and followed the links provided within the article.
 
I had this reaction:  WHAT?
Boycotting GM?  WHAT!

Who thinks this crap up?

Farking iceholes, that's who. And you most likely know I mean that enormous fat glob of regurgitated KenL-Ration that sits behind a microphone at some radio station.  He opens his maw and stupid comes out.  He wants our country to fail.  He wants our,yes I said our, president to fail because Obama is our president whether he likes it or not.  Now conservative radio talk show host wants the American worker to fail.

American workers.  What does he have against us?  

Oh, yeah...loved that little qualifier at the end of the bloviation.
 

Anyway, the point is, be it General Motors, be it Chrysler -- whatever else Obama ends up controlling and running -- the American people are not going to want it to succeed.  So I want all of you who work at General Motors and all of you who are members of labor unions to understand that the opposition to you is not because of you.  It's because of opposition to Obama and turning America upside down and 180 degrees out of phase from what America is.

Hmmmm....odd, there wasn't any boycotting of the big banks that took TARP
money....oh, yeah, conservative radio talk show hosts must have forgot about that
bailout because it occurred during, well shall we say, during the NotObama
administration?

But, I digress.

Enough about that.....that ...Jabba the Hutt wannabe.  I will not even dignify his
existence with an extra link here.

Now there's another guy, another conservative radio person on a mission to further cripple our already crippled economy.  Talk about kicking somebody when they're already down.  What kind of farked up logic is trapped inside these pea sized brains?

Unions brought down GM?  Are you farking kidding me?  This guy, Hewi....never mind, you ain't getting any free advertising from me either.  This guy wants everyone to boycott GM products and services.  This is simply brilliant in its stupidity.

Just how is that supposed to work, conservative radio talk show hosts?  Let's empty all the factories of hard working laborers and boy, that'll teach those.......um, uh.....that'll teach 'em!

Well, I've got an idea, too.  I can stay awake all night and think up stupid shit just as good as the next guy.


Why don't we American workers boycott conservative radio talk shows?
 
I mean, really, what useful product do they produce, besides poisonous hot air? They offer nothing constructive.  They offer no solutions.

On the other hand, the American worker does produce things worthwhile.

What America is?  What it is?  What is America if it is not its workers?

But these guys want American workers to fail.
They want us to lose our jobs.
They want us to go bankrupt.
They want us to lose our homes.
They want to disable our ability to give our dependant children adequate care.
They want us to go on welfare.
They want us to die in the streets.

They go off on a rant without any thought other than ratings and how much fatter their book deals can get.  GM and Chrysler are in bankruptcy.  It's already happened, you can't go back in time and undo it.  It's done.  And you are not psychic so you don't know how it's going to turn out down the road.  Conservative radio talk show hosts haven't even considered what might actually happen.

You didn't do your homework, jocks.

Well, I did a bit....

It didn't take much to find out who's going to be the chief restructuring officer handling the GM turnaround.  His name is Al Koch.  Probably his most well know turnaround was K-mart.  You know....that big pre-WalMart explosion discount store chain that filed for bankruptcy protection, emerging in 2003 and a year later acquired Sears.  Last time I looked, K-mart is still around...so is Sears.  Leaner, yes, and still fighting gigantic WalMart.  But, they survived.  And workers are working because they did survive, because of careful handling by a knowledgeable restructuring specialist.

So, I've got a little more faith that GM will not fail because there is proven leadership taking control.  I've got a little more faith there will be workers at work...blue collar union workers....white collar workers, too...because when the conservative radio talk show hosts prevail upon their audiences to boycott GM products and services, the pencil pushers and bean counters will lose their jobs right along with the union factory personnel.




American workers. 

Just regular folks, most of them.  Getting up every day, going to work, bolting that bolt, twisting that knob, pushing that pencil, going home, getting up and doing it all over again.  Reminds me of a few lyrics to a Pink Floyd tune.

Not now John,
We've got to get on with this
Don't what it does
But it fits on here like this.
Come at the end of the shift
We'll go and get pissed
But not now John
I've got to get on with this.







End rant.
