Doesn’t matter what anyone says. . . the doom and gloom ends NOW. This blog will save the U.S. economy. . . I’m about to head into a meeting with the AIG Board of Directors. . . I’ve been told they will offer me US$4,000,000 per blog post. . . basically, they will ask me to underwrite the entire postindustrial economic system with a series of LOL POSTS (my specialty) and TPM ANALYSES (my subspecialty). . . capitalism works. . . just need a bit more elbow grease. . .

Once this blog is up and running, and traffic goes through the roof and crashes the internet and the electrical grid collapses and we all eat nuts and berries for a few years, then we can start again and build a new society. . . can’t wait, let’s DO THIS.

LOL – AIG, can you feel me? LOL, LOL! Lehman (sp?) Bros., are you with me? LOL! ROTFLMAO! Wall Street, here I come. . . SMELL YA LATER. . .
