HOPE! G.M. Notifying 1,100 Dealers That They Will Be Dropped. As in, I hope there’s not much more news like this . . . .

GM to import cars from China! “As thousands of General Motors workers await word on more U.S. plant closures, reports that the company plans to import Chinese-made vehicles to the U.S. have created a political problem for the automaker and the White House.” This bailout is really saving jobs. Hurray!
