Lost among other news yesterday — something about voting machines or some such nonsense — was news that the General was handing out presents to shareholders. The present came in the form of a quarter per share dividend, same as last quarter, to the good men, women and investment banks who've stuck with the big n' bad automaker through thick and thin — well ok, that's a lie — it's also going to the folks who bought the stock in the recent Kerkorian-engineered up-tick — and even those who haven't yet bought any. So feel free to pick some up now, you've got until November 17th for it to count. Damn you, you bandwagon fans.
