BREAKING: Barack Obama Gets a Puppy! Wait, No, He Gets $350 Billion
Puppies are to Dennis as economic policy is to me, and lemme tell ya, I've been twitchy with suspense all day, waiting for the Senate to vote on the release of the final tranche of bailout funds.
Would Senators give the incoming administration the $350 billion that remains in the troubled asset relief program, so those funds could be handed out to greedy/fail-prone banks and/or the homeowners upon whom the greedy, fail-prone banks have foreclosed?
Or would Senators perpetrate their first rebellion against the president-elect by voting to block the funds' release and/or dumping crates of tea in the Potomac?
The Senate on Thursday approved the release of the second half of the $700 billion bailout package to the incoming Obama administration.
The Senate voted 42-52 against a resolution disapproving the release of the funds sponsored by Sen. David Vitter (R-La.).
Ah yes, David Vitter.
You remember David Vitter and his somewhat strained history with the Senate, don't you?
Of course you do.

I truly hope the beginning of this article teaches those bastards at the S.A.T. lab a lesson on analogies. Future readers of Indecision are FUBAR.

This bailout is nothing but bullshit, and every congressman who voted for it is an utter fool.
