Washington (ANS) In breaking news, Colorado Senator Douglas "Dooley" Neall (PNCP) came under fire for his proposed legislation to prosecute fiscal impropriety as treason. A national organization of lobbyists has quickly decried the bill, which would include lobbying in the same prosecutorial basket as bribery and kickbacks. A lobbyist for the New York financial industry, who asked to remain anonymous, virtually screamed into the phone during an interview. "That hayseed from the middle of flyover country hasn't got a clue about how things are done in the world. Does he understand that one of the possible penalties for treason is death? What? You're going to slip somebody the needle because a few billion dollars gets misplaced? I've never heard anything more rediculous in my life." The Journal will continue to watch this story as it develops. We have two reporters who will be on the ground in D.C. within the next two hours. In the meantime, we'll keep you posted with updates from ANS. |

Boulder-Springs, "It's about damned time," a surly consumer stated as he walked out the front door of a local Banco de Puerco branch this morning. Earlier today, the Journal learned that legislation has been proposed to freeze credit card interest at 18%. Bankers around the country are in arms, stating that it's impossible for them to make any money at only 18 percent on the total $2.6 trillion (Federal Reserve information April 7, 2009) in total American credit card debt. Banks have stated that they can barely get by on the $624 billion they are currently collecting in annual interest charges. "We need to be able to raise rates when fuel costs and other items increase," said a Banco de Puerco spokeswoman who declined to be identified. "How do fuel costs effect banking?" The question came from local television reporter Marly Reese. "In a number of ways," the bank spokeswoman responded. "Fuel costs for corporate jets, limousines, the yachts we use to entertain congressional staffers." We'll have more on this story as it develops. |
