Oh Yeah, This is Gonna Work

This is utterly surreal.
The International Monetary Fund is finalizing a $100 billion loan from Japan and is considering issuing bonds for the first time in its history, as part of an effort to double the financial resources it has to fight the deepening global recession.
An ethereal organization with no national backing at all is going to issue bonds in the teeth of the most ferocious financial suction ever? Hilaaaaaarious! By the time The One and his minions get finished, there won't be couch seat change left over for the IMF.

Word Verification is..... an actual word. It's a sign, IMF! It's a sign!!!

Are these bonds being issued through the Franklin Mint?

Have you been watching too much late-nite TV?

**Word verification was two first names, one male and one female. Did I read something about this in the Left Behind series?
