Due to the giant economic snafu created by American banking , real estate and finance sharks , 2008 has been cancelled as the international Year of the Potato . It has been renamed the Year of the Irish Potato Famine and will be in force for at least a decade , if we are extremely lucky.
In announcing the name change , President Bush took the opportunity to use the immortal weasel words of President Nixon’s Press Secretary , Ronald Ziegler, when he said all previous soothing announcements about the strength of US banking fundamentals are now inoperative.
President Bush claimed the bail out of robber barons would result in a trickle down spin off for the unwashed masses of the world. He was unable to say if this would be a wee Irish trickle or an avalanche of waste water that would make life even messier for bog dwellers. Made in China shamrocks will be handed out by the Big Dicks of global finance.
