railentheI'm terrible.
I totally shouldn't be finding this crisis amusing.
But. Does anybody else remember the commercials where the little kid—he's like, four or something—goes into his parents' bedroom because he'd had nightmares about the family's financial future? The kid goes on into all kinds of complex crap that a four-year-old just ain't supposed to know, and then the parents stop him:
"Relax—we're with AIG."
Guess who's getting taken over by the Fed?
