Cease-Fire Declared as Both Camps Await FOMC Announcement

Both the Bernankular and Greenspeak camps declared a 24 hour cease-fire in the ugly battle of words, key stealing and occasional egg-tossing while both groups eagerly await the next FOMC announcement from Chairman Greenspan. Emotional Greenspeak activists are setting up midnight vigil camps and making s’mores on the Great Lawn in Washington tonight, “We have so few Greenspeak Fed announcements left!” one woman cried, “I want to be able to tell my grandchildren that I was here when it was all happening.”

Jay Thomas remains suspicious though, “I don’t trust these Greenspeak people. Let them eat their grahams crackers but I have a feeling covert missions are underway. I am relaxing with an 8 pound bag of candy corn and the next thing I know they’re sending ‘little people’ pretending to be children trick-or-treating to my house to shaving cream me while I’m in a sugar coma. It won’t work; I’m always watching.”

Bernankular team members worry about Mr. Thomas’s paranoia but have agreed to selectively screen potential trick-or-treaters at the Thomas home in Astoria tonight, profiling anyone dressed as key financial advisors or Harvard alumni.
