Just some election humor

AlGore I am (with apologies to Dr.Suess)

AlGore I am!
Can we count them with our nose?
Can we count them with our toes?
Should we count them with a band?
Should we count them all by hand?
If I do not like the count,
I will simply throw them out!
I will not let this vote count stand,
I do not like them, and AlGore I am!
Can we change these numbers here?
Can we change them, calm my fears?
What do you mean Dubya has won?
That is not fair! It ruins my fun!
Let's count them upside down this time.
Let's count until the state is mine!
I will not let THIS vote count stand!
I do not like it, and AlGore I am!
I'm really ticked; I'm in a snit!
You have not heard the last of it!
I'll count the ballots one by one,
and hold each up before the sun!
I'll count, recount, and count some more!
You'll grow to like this little chore!
I will not let this vote count stand!
I won't leave office, stayin' here
I've glued my desk chair to my rear!
Tipper, Hillary, and Bubba too,
are telling me that I should SUE!
We find the Electoral College vile!
Recount the votes until WE smile!
We do not want this vote to stand!
We do not LIKE it, AlGore-I-am!
How shall we count THIS ballot box?
Let's count it standing in our socks!
Shall we count this one in a tree?
And who shall count it, you or me?
We cannot, cannot count enough!
We must not stop; we must be tough!
I do not want this vote to stand!
I do not like it, and AlGore I am.
I've counted till my fingers bleed,
and still can't fulfill my counting need.
I'll count the tiles on the floor,
and even count the ones next door!
And I will not say I am done,
until the counting says I've WON!
I will not let this vote count stand!
I do not like it, and AlGore I am!
What's that? What? What's that you say?
You think the current count should....
STAY?????
You do not like my counting scheme?
It makes you tense? Gives you bad dreams?
Foolish folks, you're wrong, you'll see!
Your only care should be for ME!
I will not let this vote count stand!
I do not like it, and AlGore I am!

Heinz, add to that the robust Fed activity on Monday: $771M coupon pass; $2.99B 28/repo; and $3.5B overnight. Grand total: $7.26B

And then net out the $3.6B overnight drain on Tuesday. It all seems a bit schizophrenic.

And here's proof positive that the price of printing presses (and salaries) has gone up along with the prices of other real-world items <g>:

<<WASHINGTON, Dec 13 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a $2.44 billion budget for the Fed's 12 regional banks in 2001, a 6.3 percent increase from this year's estimated expenses.

Nearly two-thirds of the banks' budgets will be devoted to salaries and benefits, the Fed said.>>

Hope all is well, Ken.
