style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> – The U.S. Federal Reserve
raised rates again this week prompting readers to wonder, “Who the 'F' is
this Greenspan dude, and why the hell does he seem to have complete control
over our economy just by farting?” Every time we see that same exact
picture of him in the news they always use, we think, “shit! Alan
Greenspan’s looking worried, maybe we should be worried too!” The
Federal Open Market Committee, who’s name never ever comes up in a
regular sentence, is now going to bench mark the federal funds rate and
influence credit costs throughout our economy those bastards! The Fed also
reported that inflation pressures have eased or not eased, despite higher
energy costs although the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region>
economy, which remained balanced between weaker growth, and other
incomprehensible information about possible growing or growth despite outlying
conditions we cannot possibly understand that may or may not translate as a
complete failure of the tax cuts of the Bush Administration. Or maybe not. We
guess since they keep recycling that same Greenspan dude looking so worried
picture, it must may or may not be so.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
