Accountable for what? For acting according to human nature?

Yes, there will be layoffs. It'll be the 1970s all over again. And, yes, the CEOs are going to continue getting their multi-million dollar packages.

I recently e-mailed a company about investing my government bribe er um economic stimulus check into precious metals. It's time to start pulling what we can out of the economy.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
