Chrysler shuts down their factories

Well, not really, but it makes for a nice headline for the media.  By announcing that they're shutting down production, what they really mean is that Chrysler is extending their usual two week factory closure over the week-end to four weeks.  The headline on the other hand is definitely intentional.  They're playing a game of chicken with Bush.  And the winner is who scares the shit out of the consumer more.
