banks now have the interesting PR challenge of persuading the average shmoe that though they don't trust each other, we should still trust them, at the same time as our hard won savings are tanking...

crank up the lie-factory, bernays to the rescue!

well the scam worked great so far...paulson still has his skin, and if the banks want more, well, we'll have to give it them, because we wouldn't want the apocalypse, would we now, hint hint nudge nudge..

'politicians, we pay you to face the crowds...that's why we're bankers after all, we leave the spotlight to you who love power but are too dumb to be bankers, like us, heh heh, _do collect as money as possible as you pass GO, cigars all round.

charles, warm up the copter, we may have to make a rooftop escape tonight, when those suckers run out of bailout money there'll be no more bones to pick here, and it sure ain't our heads that will end up on pikes, cuz we're gone, like a warm bahamian breeze'
