Boy, am I stupid! It went right over my head.
However, I take some comfort in knowing that I’m not alone in my density.
Johnny the Deregulator offered words of comfort for our nation’s distress over a wobbly Wall Street this past week.
The "fundamentals of the economy are strong", he assured us with his straight talk. And if you didn't know, like I didn’t know, that really means the American workers are strong.
Thank goodness he went back to explain his statement for those of us that are a little dim on the complexities of our economic challenges.
He is so right. We American workers are STRONG. And any democrat that disagrees with him is WEAK.
This should be enough to prove that the wisdom of Johnny McFinance is beyond our simple comprehension.
If America can trust anybody to fix this mess, it will be Johnny McKeating. He, and fellow maverick Sarah the Vindictive Church Lady, are just what we need to "shake up Washington". AND they promise to eliminate the greed and corruption on Wall Street as well.
Even more comforting is the fact that Sarah has the credentials to handle this crisis. After all, she can see the Bank of Wasilla from down the street where she lives.
I can sense the dissipating despair and anxiety, lifting like a fog from our collective uncertainty.
I hear he’ll start a “9-11 commission” to get to the bottom of all this and tell us where to go next. He probably meant a “de-regulation commission”, but I’m afraid to guess. He’ll tell us what it really is after he decides we’re ready to know.
It’s a good thing he has all those lobbyists working for him. I bet they’ll have more than a few good ideas about what to do for those poor Big Money orphans.
And since Johnny McHero was a POW, he's more than qualified to provide the clever foxes to watch that Wall Street henhouse.
Our money is safe.
So, sleep soundly America. You’ll get used to those lumpy mattresses.

Johnny tells us he's not too familiar with matters of the economy. It's a good thing, or he'd be quite upset.
Bravo! Thanks for putting the current mess into just the right words.
Dave!!!!
Ya gotta tell me when you put a new post up m'dear. ;)
After decades in Washington, Johnny McSame is just the man to give us the much needed change, to take us where McBush couldn't go.
Thanks for the snarky comment on my site. I liked it. :)
McCain altered his words a bit after Obama's outrage as did the ass he wants to follow!
It has been the mantra of the White House this summer: Yes, there is pain, but the fundamentals of the economy are strong.
Today, the mantra underwent an ever-so-slight rewrite.
In effect, the new message goes like this: The fundamentals are strong enough. Countdown to Crawford?
Aside from paraphrasing what Hoover said during that economic collapse, "Keating Five" McCain shares something else in common with one of our most hated presidents. Hoover was equally inflexible when it came to pushing the economic policies of 8 years of previous Republican misrule.
And now McCain is going around saying the sky is falling and he would fire the head of the SEC. He'll say anything!
Look at the upside, Dave, he's like the weather....... if you don't like what he stands for, wait a day........he'll change.;)
