The following was sent to me by a loyal reader and friend of a friend. For obvious reasons he would prefer that his name not be made public because Governor Mubarak of Wisconsin might have him hunted down. Here is his story:

As a public employee I would like to be the first to apologize for ruining the economy. I am deeply sorry that I caused the housing bubble and then popped it in a fit of rage. I apologize for the tech bubble as well, although Bill Gates helped us out with that one.





Please do not forget the S&L scandal of the 80’s, I am pretty sure teachers were to blame for that one, although it could have been the snow plow drivers.





Oh! Just so no one thinks we are trying to pass the blame off on another group of innocent people we would also like to say sorry for the panics of: 1907, 1893, 1884, 1873, 1857, & 1837.





Black Tuesday wasn’t our fault, it was the damn Polish!
