Well Nephew Earlie, Of course I respond quickly to you being family and all, and they say that I'm "behind the curve". Can you believe that crapola? Well, for one thing, I noticed that this is a Clown-Free Zone, and, well, I just thought I'd get a note or two into you before they, well, you know, banned my butt from the thread. The margin business. err, umm. Well that's the thingee that I can raise the requirement or lower. You know I might raise it if I thought the markets were irrationally exuberant or something, but it's way more fun pronouncing obscure incantations and making everyone guess what I mean and what I want to happen. I mean how many different administrations can one guy keep having to please to get renominated? I can't exactly say what I mean and please both sides of the aisle, now could I? The thing that really cracked me up was the way they nailed that Slick fellow about "what is the definition of 'is'". Gadzooks, nephew, haven't they noticed that I have redefined every word in the language in my speeches? Why that Humphrey-Hawkins thingee is such a blast, nephew. But anyway, you ask about margin. Can't you see, it's a part of my moral hazard program? I've got to keep the banks lending, the people speculating, the wheels a turning, to keep getting renominated. Nevermind the margin, do what ever you want nephew. I'll bail you out. Think of the books I can write when the whole thing's over. They gave that Hilliary wench eight million smackers. No problem, son, I'll bail you. I have had a lot of practice at that. I've got to go now nephew. Got to refill the punch bowl. They think my printing may not be enough, but I'll show 'em. Uncle Al
