Oh. It's for real. I thought you were making an overly elaborate and clever metaphor, SCD.

Right after getting their bailout cash, Citigroup decides to try to blow a sizeable wad on a luxurious private jet.  Obama's aide comes down and says "No.  Just, no."

So far, so good.  The administration seems to be on the ball, one step ahead of the competition. 

I suspect that there are people in office who spend too much time on google news, or elsewhere - for once not being a bad thing.

This level of trolling takes some serious stones.

The article's a joke - this is the author of "Liar's Poker". Note that not a single thing on the page flags that as parody other than the sheer absurdity of the article itself.

The absurdity doesn't work too well either, since I know way too many people who actually think like that.

That's why it took some kinda balls to do that. I heard he caught a lot of fire for that joke. Not because people think it's a joke in poor taste, but because it's too close to reality and they think he really means it.

The Treasury Department program has injected about $200 billion into banks across the country from the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
Appropriate acronym.

Final tally: 598,000 jobs lost in January.

To put that into perspective, if you put all the people unemployed just last month into one area, you'd have a city roughly the size of Boston.

I foresaw this occurrence and manipulated events such that I could still maintain an income whilst complaining about not having a job and about the content of my work duties.

Mwahahahahaha.
