The long view on Delphi

While everyone is pretty mad about Delphi’s bankruptcy tactic, if you step back and take a good look at the situation and the history, they are really in a corner and are desperate.

I don’t know how cool it is to be known as a Chris Isaak fan, either. Probably not very. But I don’t care. I like the music. Don’t tell on me, okay?
