Andy Borowitz has an amazing piece on his request for a bailout in Shouts and Murmurs:
Why am I too big to fail? It’s important to grasp the critical role that I play in a wide-ranging but fragile web of economic relationships. If I go belly-up, I will no longer be able to tip my doorman when he gets me a taxi. This is not a hypothetical situation. I have studiously avoided tipping him for a solid month now. Consequently, he no longer has cash to spend at the liquor store after work, and the liquor-store owner no longer has money to spend on Internet porn. Given that Internet porn is the only fundamentally sound engine of the American economy, we’re playing with fire here. If that stalwart industry is allowed to fail, Asian porn companies will rush to fill the void, offering porn that is both cheaper to produce and way hotter than ours.

That was a good read. Maybe the Govt will let everybody make their currency soon. I have a lot of plastic Target bags I need to get rid of.
I was gonna say I hope the new currency is blog posts, but I don't even have many of those.
