			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just in case you&#8217;ve been living under a rock and haven&#8217;t heard, insurance giant AIG has succeeded in totally pissing everyone off. They recently received $173 billion in federal bailout funds and then turned around and <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/17/aig.bailout.congress/index.html">gave out $165 million</a> in bonuses.</p>
<p>Now, <a href="http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_11950170">Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd</a> has come out saying that the Obama administration asked him to include language which would allow AIG to hand out bonuses that had previously been agreed upon in contracts.</p>
<p>An Obama administration spokesman had this to say, &#8220;Chris Dodd is a big fat stupid head&#8230; with farty pants. This is all his fault. We had nothing to do with it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Senator Dodd responded, &#8220;No way, Jose! This is totally not my fault. I didn&#8217;t even know what I was writing when I was writing it. Obama made me do it. He made me!&#8221;</p>
<p>Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi weighed in on the argument, &#8220;Don&#8217;t even look at me. This was a Senate thing, 100%. We never even saw it in the House. We never even heard of it. We never even heard about seeing it, or thought about hearing about seeing it. So don&#8217;t even try.&#8221;</p>
<p>New York Senator Chuck Schumer said, &#8220;I thought it was a good idea, well, I mean, I thought it was a good idea before it was a bad idea. I thought the good parts were good ideas, but the bad parts were bad ideas. No ever listens to me though.&#8221;</p>
<p>Finally, Republican Congressman Eric Cantor said of the whole ordeal, &#8220;Clearly the Democrats are a bunch of moron nincompoops, so can we not agree that Oasis is greatest band since the Beatles?&#8221;</p>
<p>I hope this has renewed your faith in the federal government as much as it has mine.</p>
