This cartoon lined up next to his pic in the Uncommon Wisdom ad is excellent design.

While I'm just sitting here in cash waiting for the FED to run out of TARP ammo, I couldn;t help myself. I started doodling how I would draw Ben Bernanke and that perfect academic beard of his. Tim Geithner next?

Geithner should be easy to draw.  He has no eyebrows.

The TARP 'cash' balance is over $300billion the Treasury guy said a few weeks ago at hearing.  The Treasury also has the $500billion FDIC 'line of credit' and the $600 IMF 'line of credit.

 

I would't be holding my breath about bailouts ending anytime soon.

The payment choices of credit or credit is priceless, pun intended.

Do the words "subprime is contained" ring a bell?

I'm placing a bet against Summers. As has been said of Dick Armey, even his frineds don't like him.  Summers is a prick and nobody likes him. He is even less likeable on TeeVee. He's a walking PR suicide bomber. For all those reasons I don't think Larry gets the job.

 

Bernanke is a political liability. Too much bad water under the bridge.

Ben,

If you get all clingy and shit, he will dump you. Play it cool. Act like you don't care. Tell yourself, "If he wants that bitch Summers then he can have him." If he wants Summers, Obama isn't good enough for you to stay with.

lol this cartoon is pretty funny

 

also:  Ben -- your beard looks like a clown-beard.  You need to stop trimming the natural growth pattern.    Just fyi.
