Many seem to think the United States has plunged the world into economic limbo and catastrophe.
Haha ... oops.
Pursuing the metaphor a little further, all huddled around a campfire, the thrower is the only one that really knew how far he or she or it threw that bottle rocket.
Which, of course, inherently knew how bad the big ka-boom was going to be, not to mention the first one to know to run away.
I'm liking this model. Next quarter, I'm running this by my macroecon professor.
And you know for some reason the U.S. is that tone-deaf douchebag with the taped-up acoustic guitar. Now —playing devil's advocate here— what if some that were seated at this G-20-style campfire, spoke out about old America's numb-nutted renditions of "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" and "Smoke on the Water" and "Seven Nation Army?" Let's get really out there. What if everybody else was playing "Wonderful Tonight" and "Stairway to Heaven?"
So with reports of the last month's big bailout working, it looks like as the world is falling to pieces, the Yanks are, yep, once again emerging out on top.
Haha ... oops.
November 21, 2008 at 10:34 PM That's well put. Europe and China are the d-bags though because they gave us the bottle rockets (metaphor for lending huge amounts of money we couldn't pay back). Also, even if the bailout gets the stock market up the value of the dollar will fall because the Federal Reserve (even though there is nothing federal about it) put out too much money. JESUS CHRIST!
ps. I'm taking two political science classes next semester so I am thoroughly excited.
