Fed Chairman Ben Bernake used a new term (at least to me) today- "the downside risk to growth has increased". What a bunch of gobbilty-gook politician-speak BS this is......
Translated this means "Holy crap, Another $800 billion and the economy is STILL going into the shitter!"
Translated into Palin-speak this means "Gosh darn, Another $800 billion and the economy is becoming a maverick!"
I just heard an interesting drinking game on the radio:
ReplyDeleteEvery time you hear someone mention "Wall Street bailout," you have to take a drink.
Every time you hear someone mention a dollar figure, such as "$700 billion," you have to take a drink.
Every time you hear someone talk about the threat of another nation acquiring nuclear weapons, you have to take a drink. If they pronounce it "nucular," you have to take two drinks.
Every time you hear someone use the term "Joe Sixpack" (another radio announcer cutting in from the side: "'Joe Sixpack'? Isn't that Palin's thing?!"), you have to take a drink.
See my Wednesday post....
