Non-political news
In among the barrage of Obama/Clinton coverage today, you might have missed a quiet piece of interesting news: GM is going small.
They're closing four pickup truck and SUV factories; throwing brand weight into their smaller and more fuel-efficient cars like the Cobalt; talking seriously about their battery-operated Volt; and -- shock -- may drop entirely the line that has become America's icon of small-penis compensation.
