Cease Fire Ends as FOMC Announces Rate Hike

During today's FOMC meeting, one of Greenspan's last as Chairman, things turned ugly in the Greenspeak-Bernankular vendetta. Shortly after the Chairman's announcement that interest rates were again raised .25%, Greenspeak fans rioted, overturning small potted plants across suburban towns, teasing puppies and raising their fists high in the air menacingly at young school children.

When asked what he thought about the Chairman's press release, Jay Thomas responded, " It all sounded exactly the same. I mean exactly. Apparently there is a comma in a different place but I can't tell man. Is inflation a problem or not? Just answer the question. My cheeseburgers are more expensive, and smaller, that is all I know."

Bernanke was again oddly silent on the pressing issues at hand. Mr. Thomas questioned his dedication to the cause, "Where's Bernanke when you need him most, speaking for the people? Come to think of it, has he ever spoken in public anyway?"

Shortly after Mr. Thomas’s outburst, an anonymous, chocolate frosted stained note arrived in the mail post-marked from Princeton, NJ tonight saying only, “Writer’s block . . . Jay, help.”
