Hysterical again!

With General Motors announcing that it will close 20 plants in the United States, and the Republican Senators, the almost majority that will be no more once the new Congress is sworn in, refusing to bail out the Big Three auto makers, I began to hyperventilate again today.

One UAW member put it bluntly: These Southern Republican senators want to do away with the UAW and create a domestic automobile industry based on Toyola and other foreign manufacturers with plants in their states, those "anti-union" states.

And then it was announced by Fox that President -elect Obama's chief of staff, the very wily Rahm Emanuel, had indeed spoken several times with the disgraced governor of Illinois.

More anxiety. Read the timeline for the scandal here.

For a few weeks, we were infused with hope. Now what?
