Dear 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 Treasury 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 Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. This transactin 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 Paulson
Only thing is, Shays classifies this as a satire.
Where's the satire?

Sadly, I was hoping we were getting bipartisan consensus that this entire thing stinks. I suspect it will take some Republicans jumping ship to kill this thing, I'm not sure the Dems are up to the task by themselves. At least not if history is any indication of future performance (which may not be true in the stock market, but is often true where people are concerned).

My mental filing system, which is sonically based, failed again. Fixed.

Bwahahaha
Thank god my lab is empty. That made me laugh so hard my students would have thought I have lost my mind. And it's only the first day. they shouldn't know I've lost it till at least a week or so in.
I keep waiting for Paulson to give us a
Nigerian address to wire the money to.
