Somebody Lend Ben Bernanke A Shovel

By

Bernanke won’t be able to testify tomorrow before the House Financial Services Committee on the Fed’s exit strategy, because he’s “snowed in.” Right.
What should Ben do with his snow day, besides snow angels with Timmy?

    This is pure snow! Do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain is?

    He will help Obama take credit for the snow as part of the STIMULUS plan to create jobs.

    I’m happy to come over and repeatedly kick him in the balls if that would help at all.

    @8:
    No, you see, The Catholics use gasoline powered snow blowers. Atheists, The Amish, and Presbyterians shovel. I’m not sure what Lutherans or Mormons do.

    By the way, speaking of snow, I wonder if Chaz put snow tires on his Saturn Ion.
    He’ll probably want to tell people what kind of tires he uses….

    @13:
    No. Yesterday, I found an audio clip of The Thug on the radio, waxing authoritative on alternative fuel sources for cars and on Detroit’s woes.
    In one of his interesting asides (as always preceded by him saying “By the way”) he revealed to the world that he drove a Saturn Ion. Now I’m hoping he will let us know whether he swaps out for snow tires in the winter.
    My bet is no, and that he furiously spins the tires if he gets stuck, cursing in Italian the entire time, Rego Park style….

    Not true.
    –Jew who spent his formative years shoveling snow (and still gets guilt-tripped into it even now)
