“Another one? JJ, don’t you think you’ve had enough? You’ve been hitting it pretty hard.”

“Oh, will you just pour it. I can take it. It’s only teqWWWuila after all. I’ll tell you when I’ve had enough because I haven’t had enough, so pour.”

“If you say so.”

…

“And pour me another one.”

“JJ, that’s it. I’m cutting you off. I really don’t care if TARP turned a profit today. That’s no reason to get so sloshed. You’ve got a blog to do, for crying out loud.”

“Blog shmog! This is a great day for America. A great day! And you know what? No one is reading us today, no sir. They’re too busy drinkin’ and, er, drinkin’. A great day, I tell you! America, baby!”

“Yeah, well you’re still not getting another drink.”

“America, America, God shed His grace on Treasury … and crown thy … doh, I think I just spilled something …“
