Nice photo. I'm sorry that the situation has gotten so out of hand that it requires such drastic action.

Just like the kid in the pic, I'm afraid we may be on the receiving end of some dook.

Is that Barney Frank or Chris Dodd?

This internet communiqué (just received) says it pretty well:


Dear Esteemed and Most Gracious American:


I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.


I am Ministry of the Treasure of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.


I am working with Mr. Phil Gramm, representative for UBS, who will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasure in January. As a Senator, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. This transaction is 100% safe.


This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred.


Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds.


Yours Faithfully,


Minister of Treasury,

Henry Paulson



PLEASE resist this move to embrace full-blown SOCIALISM (i.e. Government Ownership and Management of the Economy and eventually all means of production as well).


This "bailout" is a BAND-AID on a BULLET-WOUND, if ever there was one. It's TRUE purpose is entirely nefarious.


PLEASE don't trade in your FREEDOM for a QUICK (very temporary) FIX. That's what America did in the Depression with FDR's New Deal.


EXPEDIENCY solves NOTHING, it just PROLONGS and EXACERBATES the agony.

thanks, guys.

Well, they're SAYING this is a LOAN.

no comment Except this: if I ever go into foreclosure or end up in really terrible financial shape, I'm going straight to Congress and INSISTING they help me out. AND NOW. IT'S THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.

Oh, that won't work? maybe not. I'm born in America. If I'd been...

never mind
