Party Time! TARP Turns a Profit
“Hey, Mary, pour me another one.”
“Another one? JJ, don’t you think you’ve had enough? You’ve been hitting it pretty hard.”
“Oh, will you just pour it. I can take it. It’s only teqWWWuila after all. I’ll tell you when I’ve had enough because I haven’t had enough, so pour.”
“If you say so.”
…
“And pour me another one.”
“JJ, that’s it. I’m cutting you off. I really don’t care if TARP turned a profit today. That’s no reason to get so sloshed. You’ve got a blog to do, for crying out loud.”
“Blog shmog! This is a great day for America. A great day! And you know what? No one is reading us today, no sir. They’re too busy drinkin’ and, er, drinkin’. A great day, I tell you! America, baby!”
“Yeah, well you’re still not getting another drink.”
“America, America, God shed His grace on Treasury … and crown thy … doh, I think I just spilled something …“
