GM sells just 281 Chevy Volts in February

The Green Auto Blog reports.

"Peruse Chevrolet's February sales release, and you'll notice one number that's blatantly missing: the number of Chevy Volts sold. The number – a very modest 281 – is available in the company's detailed data (PDF), but it certainly isn't something that GM wants to highlight, apparently. Keeping the number quiet is a bit understandable, since it's lower than the 321 that Chevy sold in January.

Nissan doesn't have anything to brag about here, either (and it didn't avoiding any mention of the Leaf sales in its press release). Why? Well, back in January, the company sold 87 Leafs. In February? Just 67. Where does that leave us? Well, here's the big scorecard for all sales of these vehicles thus far:

* Volt: 928
* Leaf: 173"

I'm shocked too.

Totally shocked that 928 people with enough money to by a $40,000 Chevy Volt are also such morons. Must be Obama Money.

Who says that anything isn't possible in America?

Anatomy of a Bitch Slap

"“I'm sure the President knows that most federal employees do not have collective bargaining for wages and benefits while our plan allows it for base pay. And I'm sure the President knows that the average federal worker pays twice as much for health insurance as what we are asking for in Wisconsin. At least I would hope he knows these facts.

“Furthermore, I’m sure the President knows that we have repeatedly praised the more than 300,000 government workers who come to work every day in Wisconsin.

“I’m sure that President Obama simply misunderstands the issues in Wisconsin, and isn’t acting like the union bosses in saying one thing and doing another.”"

Oh snap.. Indeed.

Hello Captain Obvious..

"Consumer Reports: GM's Volt 'doesn't really make a lot of sense'"

Ya think? Damn I wish I didn't own stock in GM..

"The magazine has put about 2,500 miles on its Volt. It paid $48,700, including a $5,000 markup by a Chevy dealer.

Champion noted the Volt is about twice as expensive as a Prius."


$48,700 FREAKING DOLLARS?!! Is that Zimbabwe dollars? Cause otherwise this turkey makes no sense at all.

So to recap..

If you are a moron and have 50 grand around the house you too can buy a car that can go 25-27 miles in the winter then recharge for 5 hours.

Actually no self respecting moron would buy one.

Did I mention they want 50 GRAND for this POS?

Oh.. You don't get to be warm either.

"You have seat heaters, which keep your body warm, but your feet get cold and your hands get cold,"

Awesome.

I think it should come with a portrait of Obama, on the dash like like the NY cabs with the maharishi on them. That way you can pray to your moron, man child, god, for a frick'in tow truck to come get you in the winter..

Morons.

Let's call it the Chevy Dolt..

Cause that's the only people that will be driving them.

Of course GM is "too big to fail" so I guess the government will bend me over and take a few more bucks when this giant turkey get added to the dictionary besides the Edsel as an "EPIC FAIL"

Symbolism lost on liberals: New York politicians want “sexist” statue removed

"I hate the Media" has a brilliant observation up about N.Y. Liberals wanting to sell this statue because it is "sexist"



The New York Daily News observes;

"The statue, crafted more than 100 years ago, is supposed to depict civic virtue, triumphant over the twin sirens of vice and corruption"

Prompting "I Hate The Media" to remark.
" No wonder the liberals are hate this statue. It symbolizes triumph over corruption and they see that as a personal attack."


Amen brother.  Oh wait.  Is that sexist?


Pawlenty, laugher..

“I’m not one who questions the existence of the president’s birth certificate,” Pawlenty said.



The former Minnesota governor and possible 2012 Republican presidential candidate used that line as a set-up, though, to a larger jab at Obama.

“But when you listen to his policies, don’t you at least wonder what planet he’s from? On what planet do they create jobs by taxing the daylight out of people trying to grow jobs? On what planet do they try to reduce the deficit by spending even more? On what planet do they make healthcare better by putting bureaucrats in charge?” he said, according to prepared remarks."

What Planet?

Two Words.

"Red Planet"

But I'm a hater.
