Doom & Gloom Report
September 25, 2008 by Fran
Yes folks, all the gloom and doom predicted by the U.S Treasury has come to fruition, and because we failed to yield to their warnings, Christmas has been canceled for this year.
Santa could not get a loan from the Feds, and will be filing for bankruptcy. A massive Elf layoff is pending. Negotiations are still ongoing with the flying Reindeer Union. Not even the oil rebate for Alaskans, or cancelation of the bridge to nowhere could prevent this from happening. Congress said Ho Ho Hold it on the giving of immunity, and put Paulson on the naughty list for trying to pull a fast one for his Wall Street buddies. He did do a good job of keeping a straight face while saying he needed $700 billion, he needed it now, and he needed it with no strings attached. What a joker that guy is! Even lame congress had to turn him down. Santa is considering a government job, near home, up in the North Pole- perhaps run against Palin for Governor of Alaska. His campaign themes will be •Let the Polar Bears Live• & •Habitat for Reindeer•– IF you want to have Christmas again….
Santa also said no one is off the hook- he’s making the list & checking it twice, he’s on to who is naughty & nice. Santa did note the irony of Hank Paulson, with a PhD in Economics, having done his dissertation on •The Great Depression•. Santa lost it when listening to the hearings today when Paulson said we need the full $700 billion dollars, noting the treasury would quote, “learn as we go along”. Santa did not look amused.

As an advocate of Christmas once every five years instead of every goddamn year of my life, I feel better about the economic mess now.
Thanks,

Well Allen~ we’ve got to work together and make sacrifices for the Wall Street tycoons.
Truth be known, I wish they were sweating it out on how to disperse the billions to the people in Texas post Ike hurricane. Let the big gamblers dig themselves out of their own mess.

Ok Robb~ A little peace of mind for you. The anti Christmas has arrived, now you have to listen to whiney reports how the damned consumers are not consuming.
Tisk tisk…. slacker consumers not doing their civic duty.

That reminds me. ‘Bout time to start my email campaign to O’Reiley, asking when this year’s “War On Christmas” will commence. Funny thing, though, my letter never appears on his viewer mail segment. Must be some sort of oversight on his staff’s part.
