The future of Detroit

The Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition, America’s mandatory car, coming to a dealership near you in 2012!

All new for 2012, the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition is the mandatory American car so advanced it took $100 billion and an entire Congress to design it. We started with same reliable 7-way hybrid ethanol-biodeisel-electric-clean coal-wind-solar-pedal power plant behind the base model Pelosi, but packed it with extra oomph and the sassy styling pizazz that tells the world that 1974 Detroit is back again — with a vengeance.

We’ve subsidized the features you want and taxed away the rest. With its advanced Al Gore-designed V-3 under the hood pumping out 22.5 thumping, carbon-neutral ponies of Detroit muscle, you’ll never be late for the Disco or the Day Labor Shelter. Engage the pedal drive or strap on the optional jumbo mizzenmast, and the GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition easily exceeds 2016 CAFE mileage standards. At an estimated 268 MPG, that’s a savings of nearly $1800 per week in fuel cost over the 2011 Pelosi.

Even with increased performance we didn’t skimp on safety. With 11-point passenger racing harnesses, 15-way airbags, and mandatory hockey helmet, you’ll have the security knowing that you could survive a 45 MPH collision even if the GTxi SS/Rt were capable of that kind of illegal speed.

  1. As a corporation, you are responsible for saving cash to prepare for rainy years like this one and the coming ones.

    Corporations that strictly count on growth aren’t being realistic about prospects of market changes, technological improvements, and consumer trends. In business, you can only REACT to what happens; it’s very rare that someone gets in FRONT of, or STARTS a trend.

    Corporatism being to a vast degree an inbred form of tribalism; I always remain unsurprised that corporations are held underwater for 5 seconds; and already feel like they are drowning: http://mediacondom.com/?p=172

    Hilarius says… HYSTERICAL! This is a really funny bit of satirical doggerel. Thanks for making mincemeat out of Pelosi, Mr. Kimball. By the way, did anyone catch her in her scarlet full-body-wrap-cape-dress outfit a week ago? I saw 10secs of Madame Speaker approaching some marble steps then another 30secs of her at the House lectern giving one of her nasty tongue lashings on Fox. Oy Vey! These people parody themselves so perfectly it almost isn’t necessary to take up the pen to skewer them.

    And when Peloski laid eyes on that ad, way back in ’72, well, it was love at first site.

    Yes, it took years for Peloski to fulfill her dream, but the day has arrived, she’s the one we’ve been waiting for. Only vast experience in political ambition could provide us with so selfless and special a CEO.

    Praise Peloski! She’s saving the planet!
