A political pundit said most of us live life between the 40 yard lines. I'm one of them. Sometimes I'm right of center, sometimes the other way around.

So much for that idea
Contributed by: Brian Olson   on 10/9/2008

Well, a couple of weeks ago we were told if this bailout package didn't pass it was the end of the economic world as we know it.

Congress wrote a blank check for $700 Billion. Pop went the DEALsel.

The end is near. It's the tunnel at the end of the light. If our economy was any worse it would be the Detroit Lions.

Sorry for all you Obama and McCain supporters. There will be no free healthcare. There will be no tax cuts. There will be no change we can believe in. We won't be able to put the country first because it's too late.

You betcha Joe!

Turn out the lights. The party's over. All good things must have an end.

With the few dollars you have left, rent The Waltons. They could stretch a jar of peanut butter for months. John-Boy wore the same underwear for 5 years.

We're broke. The till is empty. The thrill is gone. Caveat empty. Gone with the Wind. The answer was blowing in the wind. But it too, has blown away.

Hank Paulson is the Edsel of economics. George Herbert Hoover Bush. Nancy Pelousy. Barney Flunked. Fred Berknucklehead. House of fools. Senile Senate.

"Houston, Bankruptcy Base Here, the Eagle has crashed."

Why did we trust financial institutions named "Fannie" and "Freddie"? We should have named them Laurel and Hardy instead.

If I were running for President, I'd concede. Let the other poor schmuck deal with it.

John McCain has a retirement plan. His wife Cindy.

Barack has the audacity of hope. Good luck trying to cash that.

And OU SUCKS.
