Economy

Help us brand this financial crisis- we like "Bread's Big Comeback"

If this gets any worse, I'll have to spend time with my kids.

The Dow is crashing faster than Cindy McCain when her prescription runs out [eds. note: it was actually the prescription of a worker at her charity, not hers]. The question is: what do we call it? A "meltdown," a "crash," a "downward spiral," the "great depression?" It's become confusing, because those words have all been taken by Lindsay Lohan. And now we can't even call the economy a "temporary lesbian."

Clearly some new ideas are called for. Not for how to solve it -- there's no chance of that -- but for how to describe it? Here's what we have so far. Tell us what you think...

How Should We Describe the Financial Crisis?
The George W. Bush Commemorative Apocalypse
Bread's Big Comeback
What Happens When Someone Befriends A Terrorist
Cormac McCarthy's "The Road"
Bernanke Panky
The Search For A Hard Bottom
CNBC Audience Enhancement Project
The End of John McCain
A-Hole Banker Reduction Event
God's Retribution For Tolerating Elisabeth Hasselbeck
Dowbama '08

The Return of Humility ! (screw that.. let's scapegoat some class of people...maybe imaginary people like the Fairyfolk..no; they're real and they don't work in banking much. I know: Ferengi. We can all agree this was the Ferengi's fault and not have to embrace Humility ever!)

Better yet, they should get the bread with mould on it.

Can we give all of the stale, weevil bread to the fuckers who voted for GWB 4 years ago? I think that would be fair.
