Palin Captured by Somalian Pirates!

This is how I see John McCain's campaign strategists will pull his butt out of the tailspin they are in: Just before the Vice-Presidential debate Somalian pirates will capture Sarah Palin and hold her for a ransom of one trillion dollars. Not only will this save them from more pathetic embarrassment, but it will solve the current financial crisis and suddenly John will look like the hero he keeps telling us prematurely he is...

This whole economic bailout thingy is too depressing to think about. We have the head of the US Treasury, who used to be a financial head of state, telling us that we are facing a financial crisis, but we are too dumb to understand the reasons why. This, from an administration that has a history of telling lies to the American public, and they wonder why people are complaining and not trusting their solutions. Congress is running around like chickens with their heads cut off, pointing wings at each other saying it's all Nancy Pelosi's fault. Newt Gingrich , in his usual two-faced manner, was whipping up no votes among Republicans, then making a public statement showing his support for the bailout bill. And, shock of all shockers, almost every person running for re-election voted against the bill.

In the meantime, the stock market lost in one day more than the amount asked to bail out the markets, banks in England, Germany, and Asia went belly up, and it's doubtful if credibility in any American economic or social theory will ever be taken seriously again. Oh yeah, we want democracy and the American way of economics in our poor, third world part of the globe, you betcha. It's only a matter of nanoseconds before some despot will make the claim that Christian ideals causes economic collapse.
