Re: Wednesday Open Thread (4.00 / 3)

I'd be totally down with seizing the banks and Wal-Mart and selling them off. Sell the banks to the Swiss and the Brits for trillions. Sell equal shares of Wal-Mart to the French and the Russians (Bubbas heads explode nationwide).

Use the money to pay off the national debt.

I'm Drew J Jones, and I approved this message.

Trillions? You think we have trillions?

We could give you Essex, I suppose.

I know the banks are in deep, but Essex? Really? We're not going to pay you to take the banks of our hands.

Yet....

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
