I am so with the Senate Republicans on this one. What is Bush thinking. This is just pure dumbness. Some things you think won't work. But this thing just can't work. An "auto czar"? Are you kidding? Who is this unknown genius who can pull industries out of the tank? What a man of mystery he must be, since with talent that that, he should be worth billions. Does he live in a Palace of Solitude somewhere? This $15 billion would be better spent giving it to some nunnery in France and asking them to pray 24/7 for a miracle.

No, we better pay for two nunneries - twice the prayer-power! We're going to need it...

There is a long tradition of "donating" to nunneries. Detroit is just lucky enough to have found the proverbial nuns with hearts of non-fiat money substitutes.

And of course I botched the joke. "Fiat money" or "money substitutes"
