    The bonus of fucking our own economy is fucking the economies of the rest of the world, too. That’ll maake us rich! It’s called trickle-on economics.

    A little tightening of the credit market will help give us some much needed self-discipline.

    Ha! And I’ll soon be going to Spain for three weeks to sit out the election!

  6. Dammit, I was just in Europe this summer and shit was expensive… motherfuckers…

  7. “AMERICA FUCK YEAH, now let’s go buy all of their stuff and burn it because fuck fucking Europe, losers.”

    The Wall Street Journal had an editorial this morning that said pretty much the same thing.

  8. Yeah! stick it up the asses of the Lazy fat cat european IBankers who got them into their mess!!!

    …how does the old saying go:

    “When America sneezes, the rest of the world gets an STD!”

    Wow, Dubya is so powerful he managed to fuck the ENTIRE world in the ass! My friendsTM, that’s juju…

    …damn it Jim, I don’t understand these elitist terms! Break it down for me and tell me whether or not $50 bucks can get me a BJ?!?!

  13. AngryBlakGuy: I didn’t know you sneezed with a dirty cock.

  14. OT, but go read these comments… I think these people would lynch Obama if they had the chance: http://comments.realclearpolitics.com/read/1/211548/212171.html

  15. The Treasury is balking at the Paulson in Leather Pants clause.

  16. USA! USA! USA!

  17. edgydrifter says at 12:23 pm, September 30th, 2008

    The magic power of America has always been to hang on just a little bit longer than everyone else through sheer bull-headedness, and then to celebrate by standing over the fallen, peeing on them while chanting “USA! USA! USA!” ‘cuz we sure showed them what-for.

  18. magic titty says at 12:28 pm, September 30th, 2008

    …awkward

  19. edgydrifter: That’s the American Dream.

  20. slappypaddy says at 12:29 pm, September 30th, 2008

    bloomberg also sez, in a diffo story, as to how the recession we’re in–doan look!–is sizin up to be the worst since the one way back when reagan ana snidely whip-congress first did neocon eco-jitsu before some o’youse was born… merka, fuck yeah! go team go… do the smaller dollar holler!

  21. V572625694 says at 12:31 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Suck it, Eurotrash! Who ever heard of a bank called “Dexia,” anyway? It deserves to fail. Banks should have secure, substantial sounding names, like “Wachovia” and “Citi.”

  22. middleamerican says at 12:33 pm, September 30th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: So do you think that the U.S. is still qualified to be a “Superpower top” or has been relegated to plain old garden-variety “power top”?

  23. Columbian drug lords, with warehouses full of hundreds, are breathing a sigh of relief.

  24. magic titty says at 12:37 pm, September 30th, 2008

    I’m a bit upset about this. I have been relishing in the dollar being completely dicksmacked by the Euro.
    Boo.

    If every damn foreigner in the world would just get their finger out of their nose and write us a check for $700 each we could fix this mess.

  26. donner_froh says at 12:38 pm, September 30th, 2008

    The bank Dexia SA got in trouble because they read all the numbers backward.

  27. OkieHookerinEngland says at 12:39 pm, September 30th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: 50 bucks and a can of Campbells? Me love you long long time.

    If America could export hubris, we would have this whole problem under control in no time.

  30. grendel: However, the empathy which poster “Conservative in CA” has with poor because of the way they’ve been victimized by Obama and his ilk is quite, quite moving.

  31. donner_froh says at 12:56 pm, September 30th, 2008

    grendel: I only read the first 25 or so but some of them were pretty good. For example:

    “This article reeks of Republican desperation. The Party That Destroyed America and the cranky old fart it nominated are going down.”

  32. Take it Europe! We can fail your banks with our mind powers.

    middleamerican: We may still qualify for the dirty sanchez, but by no means do we deserve the “hot carl.”

  34. This *would* happen right after I get back from London. I’ve missed the tide again. Fuckers!

  35. Seems like a good time for me to throw out my old blow up sex doll, which was actually just a balloon with a smiley face, and buy me some cheap whores!

  36. Our German exchange student’s parents got a bargain when they bought dollars for him in August. I can already hear his parents squeal over his next debit card transaction. Serves them right for sending me someone who won’t eat peanut butter, and beats me in chess!!!

  37. Belgian bank regulators: Sacre bleue, someone, zey ‘ave set us up ze bomb, non?
    Uncle Sam: All your base are belong to us! You are on the way to destruction, you pinko-commie, black-beret-wearing, effete, unfiltered chain smokers.

  38. SisterTruth says at 3:05 pm, September 30th, 2008

    George Bush is such a global fuck up. How much do you want to bet that he manages to blow something up by accident before he leaves office. George What Happened: “Well, the red button was so pretty. i just wanted to touch it once before I left office. I didn’t even push it that hard….” Oops and there goes half of Europe and three of the 50 United States.

  39. Let me know when those Canadian fuckers start suffering. I want my American money to be worth something again the next time I’m in Vancouver. And to be able to mock the bastards in Chinatown who wanted the check paid in Loonies only this summer. It’s the American damned continent — shouldn’t the American dollar be good everywhere on it?
