Simply Sublime

Here's a picture of the two clowns that rang the opening bell on Wall Street at the end of the week. I often use the word "clowns" for economic and political bigshots, but I never meant it literally.

This must have been someone's idea of good satire. Right?

From the NY Post: After ringing the bell, Harvey and Grandma wandered the floor trying to spread joy and merriment, placing funny red noses on exchange officials to touch the funny bones of even the most shaken traders.

Say what? They're lucky the next day's headline wasn't Two Clowns Hanged By Mob On Stock Market Floor.

The Dow ended the day down another 337 points. Ha ha. Can I get a balloon animal with my bankruptcy?
