Happy vernal equinox! By the time most of you read this, spring will have sprung. As mentioned in last week's edition of Haiku Friday, spring is always a time of renewal and hope. In fact, after reading my (allegedly) lengthy preamble to last week's post, my wife renewed her hopes that I would "...shut my pie-hole and just get down to the haikuin'!"
So, in deference to her and without further delay, I present forthwith, this week's news summary, as only a ninja-warrior poet such as myself is capable of doing.
Recovery here?
"It's coming," said the Fed chief.
"Any minute now."
"AIG!" you say?
"Big bonus abuse!" I say.
AIG say: "Tough!"
Geithner in trouble.
"You should have known about this!"
John Boehner is pissed!
The Fed buys T-bonds.
Three hundred bil should do it.
Markets rally big!
Uh oh. Never mind.
Yesterday's rally is gone.
Today, down we go.
Dodd prevaricates.
"No I didn't. Yes, I did."
Dude, time to resign.
Congress decides to
tax AIG's greedy thugs.
Now, get rid of Dodd.
There it is, then. The three-ring circus that these days substitutes for honest capitalism, responsible government, and thoughtful political discourse - boiled down to the very kernel of its essence. And if you ever worry that I'll run out of ideas, fear not. As long as there is oxygen in Washington D.C., there will likely be plenty of fodder for Haiku Friday.
