While I appreciate the European offer and I hope people actually appreciate the magnitude of this gesture, I kind of wish they would instead offer our government some technical assistance on how to reduce consumption. They sure need it!

Well, we know our US companies already sell thrifty little cars in Europe.  The reasons they haven't sold them here in the past are multiple, but like the 70's, this might be sufficient reason to get some of them kicked over here.

(I alwasy picture fat, sweating, cigar smoking, guys in Detroit refusing to change at times like this.)

The day after Katrina hit, GM announced that it was basing its future growth strategy on SUVs and trucks. I'm not making this up. The extent of their cluelessness is astonishing. Its not for nothing that their bonds are junk.

Hmmm - I always picture upper-middle class housewives hauling their children  to soccer practice in enormous SUVs.
