Dear American:
I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.
I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.
I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. This transactin is 100% safe.
This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred.
Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds.
Yours Faithfully Minister of Treasury Paulson
This is cute:
These sessions and meetings scheduled for Wednesday are part of the Republican campaign's effort to give Palin experience in foreign affairs. She has never met a foreign head of state and first traveled outside North America just last year.
Its like cramming before a big exam.
You know- she has a debate a week from Thursday.

And the Republican Party apparently demanded changes so that she wouldn't be tripped up on her lack of experience by that big ole meanie, Joe Biden.
Re: Charm City Cakes - Joe has been told that my 40th birthday cake is to come from them. Red Velvet cake in the shape of ruby slippers.

Sadly, there won't be very much "free-form" back-and-forth between the candidates in this particular debate.
eta: sorta' x-posty with Barb....

It's funny because it's true. For the exact same reason it's infinitely depressing.
Oh look, new Natter thread that I will be hopelessly behind in no time.
Happy Birthday, Nilly and Emmett!
