    if there's anything worth rescuing somebody else will:

    Scanning through the list of GM-funded think tanks today, I haven't seen one yet that supports bailing out GM. Ironic and consistent.

    A $25 billion bailout for $4.3 billion Ford, $1.78 billion GM, and a similarly worthless Chrysler? No, we already gave them $25 billion, now they're asking for more, a lot more:

    Top executives of GM, Ford and Chrysler and the UAW president met with Congressional leaders Thursday to discuss getting a reported $50 billion in loans to help the companies withstand the weak economy and pay for future needs. The money would be in addition to $25 billion in loans that Congress passed in September to help retool auto plants to build more fuel-efficient vehicles.

    Good money after bad, though for the automotive industry a huge return on the investment.

    We could nationalize the industry for less than the cost of bailing it out.
