Bob Wang, one of my regular readers, tipped me off to this cartoon. In light of the revised bailout plan for AIG (story link here), this cartoon, dear readers, is for you!
I'd like to run a cartoon a day, so reader help would be much appreciated.

Heh, heh.
See, Bob? I'm really good about taking stuff like this and turning into a story idea. Your cartoon has now spawned a new feature at creditmattersblog.com.
Thanks, pal.
That's pretty funny :-)
I'm all about innovation, baby. Hell, look what I did with my Google searches.
Now sure how popular the cartoon feature will be, but I will always try to post a relevant story along with the cartoon, too.
I'll keep my eyes peeled.
Thanks, BW. Much appreciated.
First, love the new feature.
Now...I have stopped reading articles that include AIG news in them. I just keep getting more and more angry. You know what I think, guys? I think we should just sign over the whole budget to AIG. I am sure they could find a way to blow it and still ask for more. ::angry::
LOL. Lion, stop holding back. Yeah, the AIG story is amazing.
Nothing surprises me any more. Just a new thing every day.
Seriously though. Come on. I wont be a bit surprised when their own personal bailout reaches at least $200b. Not a bit. After all, they are "too big to fail" and we will get sooo much out of this in the end.
Of course they'll get whatever they need. We've already made $150 billion available to them. What's another $50 billion?
You kidding me? It's on like Donkey Kong for these companies looking for a handout. GM will be next. It's too big to fail.
Need is very subjective, CM. They don't "need" 150b. They obviously didn't "need" 85b judging by the way they spent it. What shocks me most is that many sources say they still have some of the money and are still asking for more. Spend what you have first! Christ!
Need, need, need, Lion. Haha.
Want, need, whatever. Same result.
Who is next in line? Next!
How about me? Or my neighbor? Or heck, most folks these days? I think we could all use a little extra capital.
Or hell, just quit wasting my tax dollars. Yea, that would be nice. Maybe one day...
Lion, I'll be stopping by your house for a handout. Have the suitcase full of $$ at the front door when I get there. : )
LOl! Right?
I just don't get it. Maybe I was my idealistic than I realized but I THOUGHT that my tax dollars were supposed to benefit me. How exactly is shoveling cash into what is STILL a failing (by their own cause, mind you) company going to help me?
Oh I know! It'll make the stocks stop falling right?
The goal of the future is to get so important that you can't fail. That's the precedent being set now.
Next I say we bail out WalMart!
I won't be surprised if we hear of some old guy named "banks" that lives in North Dakota getting a surprise 20M in his bank account.
Good one, Anon. But it would probably a dog or a cat named Banks.
They can give it to my dog...I'll rename him Banks!
Woof woof.
