They both have very similar coloring in places, both are possessed of round black orbs, a bird has wings like a Chevy has doors, that can be extended or retracted depending on need, and both, most clearly and important, are capable of movement, sometimes at very high speeds. What does all this <em>evidence<\/em> mean? Of course that the maker of Chevrolet also made this poor little sparrow that had an unfortunate meeting with my kitchen window! What? You don\u2019t believe me, you elitist sparrow-hater? Well, that\u2019s because GM doesn\u2019t <em>want<\/em> you to make the connection. Remember Enron? WorldCom? Lehman Brothers? AIG? Well, GM\u2019s bailout is the result of the same process of lying and cover-up. What? So what if birds do their travel by air? This is one of the ways GM throws you off the trail! Still don\u2019t believe me? You must hate America, modern prophets, and babies! Let me remind you, both birds and Chevys have colors!
