best friends bail each other out.

You know how all of the major stocks in the country went bankrupt and lost all of our money starting a few weeks ago? If that sentence was news to you, this must be an awkward situation… So, surprise! Chances are, anything you put your investments in no longer has said investments. And that also increases the probability that you have no money left. Congratulations- or, as the Jews say, “Mazel tov!” (We’re going cross-cultural here.) But don’t fear, because the $700 billion bailout plan for the market that everybody was flip-flopping on finally got passed. At first, it all seemed grim, because regardless of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s attempts to convince the House to pass the bill- including blaming still-President-for-two-more-grueling-months Bush for the economic failures, and telling Wall Street that “the party is over”- it failed. Yesterday, however, the good people in the House of Representatives did something so unprecedented, so unexpected, so… let’s face it, it’s pretty bitchin’- they passed the bill. The House passed something. So it also took a $150 billion tax-cut incentive, but that doesn’t matter. No middle class workers are going to complain about losing more money. They’re saving the American economy, which means, that in some small, yet significant way, they are also saving the world (suck it, Heroes!).
… Hey, wait, I’m middle class. Oh dammit.
