Bump in the road

GM to shut down Chevy Volt plant for four weeks — for the second time this year

I guess the various Government agencies can't absorb enough of these turkeys -- built on the taxpayer dime -- to soak up all the unsold, and unsellable, inventory, despite huge price subsidies gouged from those same taxpayers to provide a payoff to the UAW.

OK, maybe they can be made into boat anchors for the Seventh Fleet, or automobile-theme planters to beautify the entrances to public housing projects, or mobile shelters for Occupy-Whatever demonstrators to live in, or -- who knows?  Any and all suggestions gratefully considered, I'm sure.

Send your recommendations to President Barack Obama, Peerless Automobile Industry Expert, The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, D.C. 20500, with subject line "RE: All those Volts you're squandering huge sums of our money on, because you know how to spend it more efficiently than we do -- Some ideas about where you can stick them."

Be succinct.
