UNCERTAINTY HITS THE JAPANESE BANK SECTOR

by Frank Paynter on October 30, 2008

(From a source best left unnamed…)

In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded.

Sumo Bank has gone belly up.

Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.

Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song, while, today, shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived.

Samurai Bank is soldiering on following sharp cutbacks.

Ninja Bank is reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.

Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared that staff may get a raw deal. . .

Dump Stevens Now!

by Frank Paynter on October 30, 2008

The Senate must act now to eject Ted Stevens immediately. The odds that Begich will win the Senate race in Alaska have improved enormously since Stevens was convicted of multiple felonies related to corruption and abuse of power; however, Stevens won’t step down voluntarily no matter how foul the stench of corruption he brings to the office. That means that he will be a lame duck voice in support of the wicked Bush/Cheney regime until they all have to leave town in January.

If the Senate will act now, then their reputation will begin to improve and the fabulously inept administration will have a harder time messing things up between now and January.
