Paulson:
Dear WFMU listeners:
I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a
transfer of funds of great magnitude.
I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had
crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion
dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most
profitable to you.
I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my
replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you may
know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the
1990s. This transactin is 100% safe.
This is matter of great urgency. We need blank check. We need the funds
as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names
of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family
lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person
who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred.
Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account
numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to
<mailto:wallstreetbailout%40treasury.gov>wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for
this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with
detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the
funds.
Yours Faithfully,
Minister of Treasury Paulson

I hope you're right Ike. I know I'll have to cut back if I lose my job (I'm not in the financial sector, I'm in the media biz but we're already hearing ominous phrases like "cost containment initiatives" around the office) and even if I don't the ol' retirement fund has taken quite the ass-kicking. If it comes down to "support FMU and eat Alpo" or "don't support FMU and at least eat canned pork 'n' beans", well, dog food doesn't really appeal to me.

Sept. 24 show was particularly brilliant, Ken. But you're my all-time favorite dj anywhere, any time, anyway, so I think you're pretty brilliant already. I have an idea for an WFMU show. Check out TalkingStickTV dot org ... The NYC area could go to town with a similar program / Web site. Nu?
