Greenspan May Do Talk Radio Call-In Show
(2003-05-20) -- Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's public service announcements urging fiscal responsibility are so hot, the 77-year-old Fed boss may get his own call-in talk radio show. "When people understand economic theory," he said, "They'll make wise decisions with money. My experience with Congress notwithstanding, I think I'm the man to make economics an over-the-counter product." Buy "Axis of Weasels," the first book by Scott Ott. $12.95 + S&H; Comments

I am first Posted by: King Juan Carlos at May 20, 2003 07:35 AMIn an effort to appeal to a younger, more hip audience, Mr. Greenspan has agreed to conduct the entire interview program in a rap/hip hop format. "Everyone should be able to get jiggy on the economy..." Posted by: Goober Shivers at May 20, 2003 07:39 AMIn a not so suprising move, Senator Rick Santorum blasted greenspan, who used the word Homies... apparently it was to close to the word Homos for the senators liking Hey I can put two articles together. Ther are no WMD(wacky Maoist Demagauges) Posted by: Rob at May 20, 2003 07:49 AMWait, does this mean that those who haven't studied economics are currently not able to discuss these principles intelligently?! LPB Where are the WMD? In thousands of dead Iraqis, and secreted away in many different underground bunkers, you morons! Posted by: Angry Commie at May 20, 2003 08:32 AMEconomics,
Leaves me out of the discussion. I only know how to build things, and break stuff. Posted by: Mike S at May 20, 2003 09:59 AMLPB: ***Yes. :) Mr. Greenspan will conduct the entire three-hour broadcast from his bathtub...There are no plans for a television version of the show. ***Darn - for a minute I was almost overcome by a fit of irrational exuberance... Cass Hmmm, for the first time in my career, that economics degree may come in handy. Then again, maybe not :) I wonder if this is a secret (insert your favorite cabal here) plot to get rid of Greenspan by placing electrical equipment so close to his bathtub. LPB SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT As part of his ongoing effort to bring economic theory to the common man, Chairman Greenspan issued the following statement from his bathtub: "Yo Peeps - I'm a brotha to Ayn Rand Monetary policy - it ain't nothin' to me I hear Jack Kemp Economic analysis say this may be the most conclusive proof to date that white men shouldn't be allowed to rap. Economic ANALYSTS.... I thought I was safe after having proofed the rap part. Posted by: Cassandra at May 20, 2003 11:44 AMWow, who knew that rap could be so enlightening. After polling audience results, PBS decided to shift its entire programing to rap based dialogue and scatter shots of old men in bath tubs throughout its shows. This week the McGlauglin group will broadcast from a hot tub in Watts. Next week it will be Big Bird and his muppet posse throwing down old school Posted by: King Juan Carlos at May 20, 2003 11:56 AMDon't knock rap, there's a story of a calclueless teacher in our area rapping the different integration techniques... Cass, what to do with Eminem, if white men shouldn't rap? LPB Shoot him? (I guess you can tell I'm not a fan) Posted by: Cassandra at May 20, 2003 12:31 PM
That ought to get those pledge dollars rolling in... That seems like a drastic solution for a minor annoyance. Now shooting people who blast Eminem in their cars, that's a different story :) LPB The mental image of McLaughlin saying, "WRONG!" from his bathtub will haunt me for decades to come. I may never be able to take a bath in peace again. Posted by: Cassandra at May 20, 2003 02:32 PMRelated story. Read and return. Help ScrappleFace win a little contest just by clicking. I'll explain later. Posted by: Greyhawk at May 20, 2003 04:23 PMThe SEC won't let me be, And if I can't rap, does that mean Jason Blair can't either?
