Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac...?

Nobody Flashes Anymore: Last night a young woman named Fannie Mae took a lawn chair, and got in line in front of her local AT&T store, so that she could be one of the first people in San Francisco to get the really cool, nifty new IPhone, put out all over the world on the same day, by that lovable genius, Steve Jobs. She had to wait a very long time...

Tonight, she is still there.

Good thing too. Not only did she miss finding out that the new IPhones didn't work, she also had the government come in and pay off all her outstanding debts.

Somebody offered to get her the phone in exchange for her rather large "smoke" but she didn't answer.

Okay, silly. But so is the bailout of two companies---obviously named by people who either were very stoned at the time, or drunk. Really--- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Who thought up these names? Jesse Jackson?

Where's the limo?

Will the real Fannie and Freddie, please stand up?
