Pigs, arrows and outrageous fortune

That giant oinking sound you hear is all the pork being herded into the Bailout Corral. Even though the plan passed last week has been so brilliantly successful at transferring all that nasty smelling bad mortgage debt to the Taxpayer Government, the Fed is planning to make us a present of bad commercial paper as well. There just wasn't enough pork in the original deal.

You can't expect to have a barbecue of wall street lobbyist proportions without big chunks of pork and little scraps like the tax relief for manufacturers of wooden arrows designed for use by children. You have to admit that their plight is central to the economic health of all of us. Who knows, your ex-broker may be making wooden arrows designed for use by children before the week is out.

Don't worry about it. All of us are going to hell or to Alaska in the next few months according to Sarah "ya betcha" Palin. She has a plan for everything.

  1. Ikey Boykin, President and Founder of the National Association of Manufacturers of Wooden Arrows Designed For Use By Children (NAMWADFBC) stated:

    Section 503 of the Senate bailout bill was a victory for all Americans, particularly those of us in the industry, which would be Biff, Pauley, Sonya and her sister's boy Donny Ray Jr.

    Nope! Make that Maleeper, Blogging Dino, Respac3, Squid, Captain Fogg, and (O)CT(O)PUS. We need our own lobbyist, dammit!
