Full Version: It's time to say thank you.

It's time for America to say thank you to that great icon of American capitalism - the CEO. The time has come for America to construct a monument to reflect the true greatness, and dauntlessness of the leaders of America's economy.
What I envision is a great colossus of a man in a three-piece-suit, holding a suitcase and a telephone to his ear. An iron superstructure would be encased with silver and gold. We might have to empty Fort Knox. Similar to the ancient Colossus of Rhodes, the CEO COLOSSUS would have one foot on Manhattan and another on Long Island.
Incoming ships would see the great wonder long before they would see the shoreline.
I'm betting we could build the thing for about 700 billion.

Don't worry, I still have faith in the American Judicial System.

The ones who did wrong will be caught.

Besides, this Bail Out Bill made the politicians work hard and it probably roughed up some feathers.

Ah, a lovely start. However, to properly honor the god of Mammon we should add a ladder whereby the vestal virgins (Virgin, of course will be a trademarked term to the corporation running the statue, because in keeping with the hypocrisy of Wall Street, must prove that they ARE sullied in order to qualify), when they are not providing first-class services for $10000 and above donors, burn newly-minted $100 bills to fuel the torch.

Also, the feet should be depicted standing on the necks of a farmer and a construction worker. In the other hand of the statue should be not a bow but the testicles of the president.

Please take these humble suggestions to an otherwise fitting tribute to the modern state of the economy.

Guy.

Well, I certainly have little faith in your ability to use the proper tense in English.

And aren't feathers usually "ruffled" rather than "roughed up"?

I have an idea for a bumper sticker.

THE TROUBLE WITH TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS IS THAT CORPORATIONS ARE TOO GOOD AT FIXING LEAKS.

Of course, when the money is flowing upward the pipes seem to be impossible to repair.
