GM may fail

"DEVELOPING STORY," says CNN.com

What the hell is the difference between "Breaking News" and "Developing Story?" They're both in red and they're both obnoxious.

Anyways, here's a blurb from the article summary:

General Motors says it hopes to get additional loans from the government, saying there is "substantial doubt" about its ability to remain in business, CNNMoney reports. GM says failure to get sufficient funding would mean it "would not be able to continue as a going concern and could potentially be forced to seek relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code."

Um. Okay.

Now, here's the version I will write about my decision to stop paying my mortgage:

Allison says she hopes to get additional loans from the government, saying there is "substantial doubt" about her want "to do a G-D thing," CNNMoney reports. Allison says failure to get sufficient funding would mean she "would cry and whine," possibly "throw a temper tantrum," and "would not be able to continue as a frequent online shopper and could potentially be forced to stop being frivilous and careless with her money."

Makes just as much sense, and is just as fair.

The market's down. Demand is down. Money practices weren't so great. The responsibility was lacking.

Soooo... we're supposed to pay for that?

I understand the whole "so many Americans will lose their jobs" stuff.

As heartless as it sounds: So, the rest of us have to suffer?

I'm sure that pisses off people. Good thing I'm not looking to make friends.
