YOU NEVER GIVE ME YR MONEY

You may have noticed I haven’t been posting much about the $700 billion bailout. That’s because I’m not an economist. I know dick about economics. I barely understand it. And I couldn’t tell you if the bailout is really all that necessary or not.

However, the battle in Congress over the bill on both sides of the aisle has been sheer face/palm comedy from the start. And look, Jon Stewart has gone and saved me the trouble of having to write something funny and whip-smart yet genuinely angry.


Seriously, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen Stewart this riled. And why shouldn’t he be? The govt is about to hand $700 billion of tax money to a pack of stupid greedheads who will just fix their business, cash out their options and move on to the next big CEO salary package + bonuses. Tra-la-f***ing-la. Life is good when you don't have to account for yr actions, no matter how many people they hurt.

Little wonder no Congresscritter in his/her right mind wants their name on this bill a month before Election Day.

Best. Election. EVER.

Get it on credit,

This is dF

Both Stewart and Colbert were ramped up last night.
