Sock Puppet's Bailout Request

Pets.com's Sock Puppet asks Congress: "Why are you talking about bailing out the auto companies when you let all us tech companies just crash and burn?"


(Instead of giving taxpayer's money directly to the automakers, why not pass a law requiring every US citizen of driving age to buy a Hummer, Tahoe, or F250? Those unable to pay cash can get a pre-approved AIG-insured payment plan. That would keep Detroit busy, help the oil companies, and give AIG another excuse for a cash infusion down the road.)

Check out the comments:

"When the wool industry in England was in recession hundreds of years ago, decrees were passed that, when you died, you had to be buried in a woollen shroud. A similar thing was done in France with linen.

"It's time for America to do the same with SUVs."
. . .

"Families should be allowed to use one SUV like a crypt, with newly deceased loved ones popped in as they pop off.

"We should also consider using wheeless SUVs as inmate housing."

:rofl:

1. It's a Fair Question, But It Should Have Been Asked Much Sooner

At the time of the AIG bailout, the workers of every industry who got screwed over by outsourcing and consolidation-related redundancy should have stood up and howled.
