Perhaps because it equally applies to both men and women plus it fit the initials TARP. I didnt make it up;its been going around the finance sector since Paulson called in the Congressman and said their world (campaign contributions, jobs after government etc.)would end if they didnt pass the plan in a week based on a three page summary,5 days before they were to go home to their districts to campaign for an election 6 weeks away.

The whole thing smells like the way Bush rammed (sorry about the verb) home the Iraq Invasion.

Call them on their bluff and see ifthey dont come back for a much smaller handout to use for their cronies with total oversight.

To extend the simile, the TARP covers the whole process so we won't disturb the children.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
