That didn't take long

According to WDIV-TV and WXYZ-TV's newscasts here in Detroit, the now-bankrupt Chrysler L.L.C. has already shut down three to four assembly plants in Warren and Sterling Heights, Michigan.

Supposedly, Chrysler was going to shut its plants on Monday. But suppliers already won't ship parts to the company.

To quote one worker walking out of one of the plants, "Where's Lee Iacocca when you need him?"

Two out of the Big Three Could Be Bad

Today's big news (well, last night's too) here in Detroit is that the CEO of General Motors has joined the ranks of Michigan's unemployed. He was apparently given his walking papers by the government.

Meanwhile, the president spent his morning assuring us all that GM and Chrysler need to be saved (gee, you think?), giving them a month or two to get their act together (yeah, that'll do it) and that it'll be OK to buy a car from a bankrupt company because the government will back car warranties (insert laughter here).
