As many as 175 employees could lose their jobs around Thanksgiving at AM General's Hummer H2 plant, which will also close for two weeks at the end of this month, according to WSBT-TV in South Bend.

... Slow sales of the 2006 H2 have thrown uncertainty over the number of 2007 H2s that General Motors will order from the plant, workers and union officials said.

1. I feel the same way about this as I would if they were closing a

cigarette factory.

7. Same here

My thought was of a coal-fired power station but the sentiment is
the same: Sorry for the people who've lost their jobs but glad for
the event itself.

2. Idiots!

I could run GM better than the morans in charge of that backwards-ass outfit.

4. Hummer is slang for blowjob. Strange name for a gas guzzling

piece of shit auto.

5. The Hummer will forever stand as a symbol of a failed

ideology and a failed US "culture."
