When the economy isn't funny

...I really enjoy some funny commentary. These days I get irregular helpings of it from The Epicurean Dealmaker, whose unstinting use of FCC-unapproved language sets the tone.

His latest bit on the Chrysler situation (http://epicureandealmaker.blogspot.com/2009/05/more-of-kickin-sitcheyation.html) contains such gems as:

I see little reason to give credence to those alarmists who see the Chrysler case setting a dangerous precedent. With the admittedly substantial exception of General Motors—whose existing creditors should be busy stocking up on Vaseline, ball gags, and Motrin—I cannot fathom why the government would want to get more broadly involved in corporate restructurings.

At least when I start laughing hysterically at work I can claim I'm reading financial news.
