Can't blame him... He could only take so much crap from big Ed Whitacre. I hear big Ed is starting to fill executive spots with is ex pals at AT&T. I'm sure the musical chairs going on at GM is really going to help them! Joy!

When the thinking is everything that is being done is wrong, it is not a good sign. Some things may need to be modified, but to just change everything for the sake of it, is not productive.Did anybody notice that the sales reports no longer identifies sales by brand for Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer and Saab?

wow - he looks pretty good for 78
