BALANCE SHEET?

Balance Sheet.... you can't balance a sheet. It always gives way. No matter hard you pull it or stretch it, it gives in, it folds, it crinkles, it never maintains its shape! therefore, its impossible to balance a sheet so you do the next best thing , you balance a "SHEIK' !

HEDGE FUNDS??!

Hedge funds! Beware of hedge funds. Its not that they are so bad but they can plant a seed. This seed can be nurtured and watered and sunned and can possibly develop into a root and then with time , maybe? who knows?, GOD FORBID...A BUSH!!

SHOVEL READY PROJECTS!

Shovel ready. What an expression! There's only one project that's shovel ready, cemeteries! They're ready all the time, day or night, rain or shine, they keep their shovels ready. They're always there waiting, they never have to hustle for business. Business comes to them.. when you're dead you're dead. That's life! Be shovel ready. - Don Sherman with art by Dave Glover

COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY!!?

Complete transparency..transparency,...

When it comes to money there is no such thing. People will tell you most anything about themselves except how much money they have. Money is always secret. Notice when they tell you to tip the maitre d they say slip him a coupla bucks. Or if you have a lot of cash they say put it somewhere nobody can find it. Money is always being stashed or buried. Its kept in dark places, vaults or safes. you can't have transparency when it comes to money? And do you know why?? BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN'T STEAL IT! - Don Sherman with cartoon by Dave Glover

Congress has appointed these people to answer the the important questions about the stimulus plan that we all want to know about. Like where is it? When does it start? How will I recognize it? How long will it last? We have to know the answers to all these question so we don't get overstimulated!! -Don Sherman with linework by Dave Glover

FANNIE MAE and FREDDIE MAC!!

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac! That's no name for a lending institution. Sounds like a place where they fry donuts. This is the business the Sopranos were in. Even Rocky worked for loan sharks. You can't call these people Fannie and Freddie. No one will ever PAY THEM BACK! Would you panic if you got a call at 3 in the morning with a threat from someone named Fannie? - Don Sherman with cartoon by Dave Glover

STOCK IMAGES

How can you analyze a stock? Who’s on the couch, you, or your mutual fund? Is my broker lying to me? Does he have a clandestine relationship with my fund? Are they going to Acapulco with my fees? Am I the victim of a conspiracy? A few questions like that and you're happy to pay a hundred dollars a hour. -Don Sherman with pix by Dave Glover

LIMIT EXECUTIVE PAY!!!!!

Limit executive pay! There is only one way to limit executive pay, put them all on commission. If the company makes money they make money, if the company loses money they share in the losses. This would not only limit executive pay it would eliminate executives. Then we could get some work done. - Don Sherman with penwork by Dave Glover

BUYING TOXIC ASSETS!!

Toxic assets. That’s a great way to sell something, tell them its toxic. I could put up with second day bread, spoiled milk but toxic jello? Never. But the government knows a good deal when they see one. It may be toxic but you can get it cheap! so if you are looking to stock up with toxins today is your day. Who are they kidding? You can't be toxic and an asset at the same time. It’s an oxymoron. – Don Sherman with artistic blandishment by Dave Glover

STABILIZE A BANK!!?

Stabilize a bank? Are you kidding? I can handle a wobbly chair in a restaurant,I can stop a curtain from waving in the breeze, I can even handle a loose steering wheel but stabilize a bank! I've always thought of my bank as being stable, firm., rock solid. This is money we're talking about, bread, cash, moola! I'll deal with unfair outrageous fees, long lines , frustrating automatic answering machines but no shake, rock and roll. Money needs peace and so do we.. . Don Sherman

TOO BIG TO FAIL!!?

Too big to fail? Tell that to King Kong. Too small to succeed! Tell that to Mickey Mouse. What is this doubletalk? You fail, you fail. If you're big its a big failure, if you're small its a small failure. Failure is failure. We can't reward failure.....only George W. Bush can do that. - Don Sherman
