This has to be one of the funniest 2009 recaps I have ever read. This part was especially funny:
In other economic news, the CEO of GM resigns under pressure from the White House, which notes that it inherited the automobile crisis from the Bush administration. GM is now essentially a subsidiary of the federal government, which promises to use its legendary business and marketing savvy to get the crippled auto giant back on its feet, starting with an exciting new lineup of cars such as the Chevrolet Consensus, a ``green'' car featuring a compressed-soybean chassis, the world's first engine powered entirely by dew, and a 14,500-page owner's manual, accompanied by nearly 6,000 pages of amendments.
He forgot to write that the Chevy Consensus also costs $ 1 billion dollars and must be built entirely in Nebraska where it will be free to Nebraskans. That was all there just to get that all important Ben Nelson patronage vote.
