Still alive out here during the crisis...

[johnlal]

If anybody's still out there, I just wanted you to know that despite the banking crisis, we're still alive. I heard that Congress failed to agree on a bailout plan, and that negotiations at the White House deteriorated into pandemonium and chaos.
Meanwhile, I heard that Washington Mutual Bank went under, and was sold off to JP Morgan Chase Bank. As it was happening, I felt a disturbance in the Force. I knew from this point further, nothing would be the same.
I was happy to find that I still had gas in my tank this morning, as I made my way down post-apocalyptic Frankfort Avenue to my office. I thought to myself, what if the economic downturn causes gas prices to spike? What will I do? I suppose we'll be riding in a horse and buggy soon. But horses are expensive around here. Maybe I'll need a goat cart. What do goats eat? I'll have to look it up on the Google.

I got to the office, and saw that the door was still locked. Nobody had broken in to loot the place... yet. I put my shotgun down, to get to work. I swallowed down a multivitamin pill. Who knows what will happen to healtcare costs after the economic meltdown.

I understand that the Presidential Debate scheduled for tonight will be cancelled, due to the crisis. I feel lucky that I was able to show up for work today. Maybe John McCain's goat cart is broken.

If you're still out there, good luck. Maybe I'll see you in the Thunderdome.
