YO: I've just written the first song of my first musical called "Bailout on the Potomac."
NEW CD OF IT IS COMING OUT THIS WEEK: Nancy Pelosi on vocals with the Barney Frank/Chris Dodd Big Band. Here are the lyrics....(with apologies to Betty Comden and Aldoph Green)
THE PARTY'S OVER
The Party's Over, it's time to call it a day.
You've burst your petty balloon and taken our sheen away.
It's time to reign in your ugly greed
Your bogus game's up: no free market screed
The Party's Over, the markets flicker and dim.
God knows you shuck and you jive,
So just take your dive---discontinue the skim
Now you must fess up, all schemes must cease
I fear your jig's up. The Party's Over.
It's all over. Call the police.
Undoublethinkingly yours, Orwellingly Yurz

Then what must be,
Must be...

Clever idea, OY! (Background for the rest of you lot: In announcing release of the mortgage-meltdown bailout bill, Pelosi indeed did remark that "the party's over" for Wall Street. Though she didn't sing it.)

Maybe the party's over or maybe they just ran out of booze and are taking it to someone house down the block so's to mooch off us from there. We'll see.
