LOL Definitely a dope groove <<While the rave was "definitely a dope groove," Fed Governor Bradley Muer said members did exhibit restraint. "Some people were going to candyflip (combine Ecstasy with acid), but most of us are Old Economy, and acid just seemed more traditional," he said.>>

ROTFLMAO! This would explain their latest policy...errr...DECISIONS!<G> The closed-door session of the Federal Open Market Committee reportedly began with Greenspan discussing his upcoming Congressional testimony. However, it quickly raved-up after an unidentified staffer, frustrated at not being able to understand the opaque chairman, passed around tabs of Ecstasy and LSD, which he identified only as "Greenspan Decoders." "About 45 minutes later, (Fed Governor) Nathan Gladstone says to me, 'Julie, can you bring us the reports on monetary interventions, bond yields, and three dozen pacifiers?'" recalled Lindstrom. "Then we ordered some glowsticks and Jurassic-5 CDs, and the Open Market meeting got really, really open.".... ....Hours later, the board finally agreed to cut rates half a percentage point. Initially, said Cohen, committee members decided to lower rates by 8 million basis points, from 2.00 to minus 7,999,998, but were talked out of it by an art deco wall sconce that claimed it was Cary Grant. Phew! Good to know there are still inflation hawks on the FOMC!<VBG>
