Money Talks, Wall Street Walks

It has not gone unnoticed that it was the Democrats in Congress who shepherded through the massive seven hundred billion dollar banking bailout bill or that it was the Republican side of the aisle in the House, that nearly succeeded in torpedoing it.

Quietly, over the past two weeks, from coast to coast, the entire investor class and their raucous West side legion of drovers, jounglers and camp followers on Wall Street, have quietly changed over to membership in the Democratic Party. It is rumored that real estate brokers and insurance agents are also making the move. So far, there has been no substantiation of this story. CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo was set to break the story this morning but failed to make the announcement. She has been unavailable for comment and was reportedly last seen trudging shoeless, down the steps of Bill Clinton's Harlem town house, in a stained blue dress, smelling of cigar smoke, with a smear of Blue Star ointment on her chin. We hope to hear from her soon.

In other news, attendance at Sarah Palin campaign rallies has fallen off precipitously. Apparently someone has been targeting trailer parks across the Appalachian region and Mississippi basin with very authentic looking Email notifications from Kenya, concerning the disposition of the Mombasa Sweepstakes Grand Prize, which will be paid off by monthly installments over twenty years, in fermented goat urine and powdered rhino horn.
