HH Community GM: Nose Tackle - Hogs Haven
[Hogs Haven] Don’t make decisions based on supposed incorrect paradigm. If he is the guy we want (and I don’t have an opinion on that), then get him if we can.

Rick Smith: Will The Real Texans' GM Please Stand Up? - Battle Red ...
[Battle Red Blog] If Smith has managed to become the Peter from Office Space at the Texans organization and doesn't have to do anything besides show up occasionally, who am I to advocate for increasing his responsibilities or the number of TPS reports he must submit? Maybe once everyone accepts Smith as the front office slacker and locker room stool pigeon, we can start to figure out who is really running the show and likewise, whom we can blame for all those undrafted safeties and nose tackles.

WaPo fact checker: Obama's auto-bailout speech “one of the most ...
[Hot Air » Top Picks] Finally, Obama once again trotted out the canard that Republicans wanted to do nothing in 2009 but stand by and watch GM and Chrysler fail. Kessler doesn’t mention the fact that Republicans intervened in 2008 with bailout loans during the Bush administration, but he does note that even those opposed to the second round of loans weren’t advocating doing nothing at all. Kessler also doesn’t mention the fact that Ford refused the bailout money and managed to survive without government intervention, while taxpayers spent tens of billions of dollars floating two corporations that have spent decades digging their own financial graves. In the end, Chrysler disappeared as an American automaker, getting bought by Fiat, and taxpayers ended up carrying the weight of GM and Chrysler pension plans, thanks to the politically-engineered bankruptcies imposed on stakeholders of both firms.

What ifs: Can GM help rebuild a new America? - Hybrid Cars and ...
[Hybridcarblog] Without doubt some will pooh-pooh ideas like the EN-V, but such concepts will inevitably change transportation fundamentally and far sooner than most dare to believe, not just because of congestion and costs, but also because of seemingly unrelated technologies like social networking. So, the fact that GM seems to recognize this inevitable reality is great news.

GM: Can't we talk about something else? « Hot Air
[Hot Air » Top Picks] Yet what is surprising, and what continues to be the only important metric in the monthly GM sales report, is the monthly channel stuffing update, aka the “month-end dealer inventory.” We hope nobody will be surprised to find that it just hit another all time record of 584,000, 7k more than April and 177 more than a year ago.

Nissan Admits Won't Achieve Goal of Selling 20000 Leafs in 2011
[GM-VOLT : Chevy Volt Electric Car Site] on the contrary, he does a great job reporting and should be commended for his objectivity.Regarding many of the adherents to this blog, however, it’s clear that many have not kept their eyes on the bigger prize.The initial excitement surrounding the Volt dealt with it being “more electric than car,” namely because we already had/have plenty of “car” options out there.Only a few years ago this website seemed to have followers who were committed to not sending our money overseas to Al-Qaeda, who wanted cleaner air, and were pleased because GM was making an electric car that could do that.Does anyone remember the statistic that GM kept promoting with the initial unveiling of the Volt: “80% of all Americans drive less than 40 miles a day,” followed by the explanation that this car will be a purely electric car (in practice) for that 80%?What happened to that line?Well, it was apparently swept under the rug when Nissan unveiled a 100 mile EV.Afterall, reminding the country that 80% of us on an average day would be just fine in a LEAF doesn’t make for good business practice for GM, so it was then that the message evolved to “range anxiety.”Now, this site is riddled with anti-BEV, range anxiety, knee-jerk reactions day after day when in reality, the LEAF is also what we want to see happen.Come on guys, can’t you see what’s going on here?The Volt is an amazing car, but is it really necessary to engage in LEAF-bashing day after day?Isn’t the LEAF a part of the bigger prize?If you don’t believe me, then conduct a quick study on your own: tally the number of times that LEAF-bashing occurs as opposed to Yukon, Expedition, Explorer, Denali, etc.-bashing.We want 20,000 LEAFs and 25,000 Volts sold this year; in fact, we want 150,000 of each sold every year, which would still be only a fraction of the approximately 12,000,000 autos that will be sold in this country this year.So please, for the last time, loving the Volt does not necessitate celebrating the shortcomings of the LEAF.

[Niners Nation] Ultimately, the first, and most important job of a GM is the evaluator of talent, and for all we know, he may have been right every time there was a dispute and McC got his way. Maybe a part of the reason McC left was because Baalke started to get his way more often, maybe he started to get the bigger voice in our drafts due to his history.
