rivercityvibe   “Puerile, smutty, schoolboy nonsense” – My Mom

Billy Smart & Co have just voted on, and, this time, deigned to pass the bill that effectively bails out rich Wall Street speculators with our money. I never let you face these times alone, so am posting the following for two reasons:

1.     You need a morale-boost.

2.      It is ad for insurance – finance – therefore we’re remaining on-topic.

I have also had some emails accusing me of being (ahem…)   ‘un-masculine’, citing the last  two posts……..

Buy some insurance. Seriously. Keep that marketing budget solvent……..

A few minutes ago, those comedians in the House of Representatives voted down the so-called 700 billion dollar Wall Street Bailout causing the Dow to plummet 670 points (whatever that means) further weakening an already weak market. This made a lot of traditional investors sad and cross at the same time.

I thought footage of Vice Presidential candidate Sarah “Good News McGee” Palin in a swimsuit might lighten the mood a little:

Did that help?

Thought it might.

With US Capital markets crashing down around our ears like Twin City Bridges, you’ll be glad to know that Wall Street Bail-Outs are not just for the banks anymore. The folks over at buymyshitpile.com are compelling Henry Paulson to buy everyone’s “distressed assets.”

All your economic problems solved........

They say,

With our economy in crisis, the US Government is scrambling to rescue our banks by purchasing their “distressed assets”, i.e., assets that no one else wants to buy from them. We figured that instead of protesting this plan, we’d give regular Americans the same opportunity to sell their bad assets to the government.

Pure genius.

For the record, the Bones family wealth is safe, invested heavily in Conflict Diamonds and old Soviet nukes. We’ll be fine.
