Tyler Durden's picture




 

Just when you thought the US auto industry is doomed, the Mullaly brain trust comes up with this idea of unsurpassed brilliance. Even Steve Rattner can't help but applaud in uncharaceteristic profanity-free silence.

I drove that year and that model!  After replacing the upper manifold gasket, and the A/C, it was a dream ride.

Too funny.

The irony is that Ford is actually doing very well right now, unlike Government Motors~2.

Implying that Ford doesn't have political connections?

How do you think Geithner & Obama know each other?

Stating rather clearly that this video is not timely because Ford is doing fairly well right now.  This should have made fun of a Chrysler product.

Shiksas are a traditional Chanukah gift?

Andy, you realize that shiksas is not hebrew for "my bike"?

I am not sure what you are talking about.

I was speaking of a traditionally decorated bush that some Jewish people use in lieu of a Christmas tree, being delivered by the traditional and always festive GS Christmas Elf.

You know they are doing gods work at that firm.

I thought you were joking about the Goldman Elf delivering female companionship for Chanukah, and assumed you were referring to shiksa bush given Woodie Allen's and Seinfeld's jokes about jews liking shiksas.

Question... Does America really need the Jews?
Did they ever need them.. and their Talmud and their Protocols... and their FRB... and ther general smiling scams...

This question is only for non-Kosherites.
------
The word shiksa is derived from the Hebrew term sheketz, which means "abomination", "impure," or "object of loathing", depending on the translator.[1]

Despite its etymology, the term shiksa is widely used and accepted in the United States, where it is often used in a humorous way.

The word "siksa" (pronounced "shiksa") in Polish Gentile culture is a pejorative (but often teasing or affectionate) word for an immature young girl or teenager. It literally means "pisspants" and is roughly equivalent to the English terms "snot-nosed brat", "young squirt" or "young goat" ("kid").

Although it has Hebrew origins, it was conflated with the Polish word "sika?" ("to urinate") and is therefore a false cognate that is actually equivalent to the Yiddish word "pisher".

So, we can poke a teeny bit of fun at Jews and their scams... and Marla is okay with it.

If you had advocated hitting any criminal banker who has escaped justice (but was found by a bonus check) over the head with a bottle.. Marla would have x'd your post.

Zero Hedge, thank you for the find. Gold star to the maker. You cannot buy comedy like this. All you can do is hope you have the sense to stumble across it. Excellent visual and audio.

Funny as heck

My favorite 1993 FORD has to be the Thunderbird Super Coupe. Nice coupe with a lots of power.

Detroit Auto Show sees increased interest from politicians and Washington insiders By Sheena Harrison | MLive.com November 14, 2009, 9:08AM

The North American International Auto Show has seen an increase in demand for show passes from politicians and Washington insiders -- so much so that the show has introduced a new credential policy for government officials.

The 2010 Detroit auto show opens to the press and politicians on Jan. 11, and opens to the public on Jan. 16. Doug Fox, chairman of the 2010 auto show, told the Detroit Free Press that new credentials were created for politicians this year because "requests for passes to the show are pouring in from members of Congress, the Department of Transportation and other agencies." Interest in attending the Detroit show appeared to increase after the Federal government's bailout of General Motors Corp. and Chrysler Group L.L.C. The Freep says the government has given more than in aid to the auto industry.

Not all Jews are Israeli; not all Israelis are Jews; not all Jews are zionists. "Semite" is a word denoting race, and generally (though not popularly) covers Arabs and Jews and some of the peoples in the Ethiopia / Somalia regions.
