TTAC's GM Zombie Watch

Robert Farago, editor of The Truth About Cars (TTAC) has been running his column "GM Death Watch" for four years. Now that GM has finally gone bust, he's changing the name to "GM Zombie Watch". Because, you know, it ain't just gonna be business as usual at Government Motors. I hope someone is paying Farago a lot of money because with writing like this he deserves it:

"The mainstream media seems obsessed with the idea that President Obama’s minions will force the automaker to build shit boxes to appease the environmental wing of the democratic party, and, thus, drive GM into bankruptcy. Oops. I should have said “continue to suck-up taxpayer money until British Leyland looks like a winning lottery ticket.”

And:

"It’s a ridiculous concern. Government Motors has but one goal: nothing. Remember? No deadline. No timeline. Nada. Simply put, governments are not profit-driven. At all. On any level. Ever. So it doesn’t matter what kind of vehicles post-C11 GM manufactures. At all. On any level. Ever. Snap! That makes “new GM” the same as “old GM.”
