The fire sale on government bailouts continues, with the Big 3 U.S. automakers the latest hopeful recipients.

What I want to know is how I can get on the “A” list for a bailout. I’ll promise to get rid of any corporate jets we might have, I’ve already taken a pay cut, and I promise that, with the help of, say, a puny $10 Billion, I’ll be profitable in three years immediately. So where do I sign up? Anybody?
