Never pour good money into black holes and, never, never, never, into other peoples black holes.
Mr. Paulson is clearly taking a stand against critics who support even stricter regulations, while rejecting any notion that the crisis in financial markets or the collapse of Bear Stearns can be laid at the administration’s doorstep. In a draft of a speech to be delivered Monday, he declares: “I do not believe it is fair or accurate to blame our regulatory structure for the current turmoil.

Robert: Old chum, we had better back this one both ways, book the flight for my pad in Malaysia. Load the jet with plenty of currency.
Yes Mr President, I'll put 1 billion, trillion of ... No, No, No, don't load that Zimbabwian crap, it will overload the aircraft. Stuff it full of $100 bills.
Will do! Won't there be a civil war if we jet out of here so quickly, Mr President?
Yes, that's for sure, and the army will take over and in double quick time they'll invite me back.
What a day that'll be, Mr President, a home coming, 1979 all over again.
Yes, I can see it now and a declaration, President for life. Anyway, if all fails to happen, I'll laze away my retirement years like the Last King of Scotland.

Sometime the Aussie$ will tank against the Greenback or at least slide gradually. U.S. shares will rise and it will be a case of just counting profits. When though?hey noi .. as for market - Dow up 50 - "I think I can . I think I can" ..
Then old Robert will sit counting his Dollars whilst Zimbabwe burns.

Ah Mr President, it's amazing what can happen. Just a matter of rearranging them there votes.
Can happen that you win easily in one area and just lose in another. So we have transferred the votes where not needed and put them in those close needy areas.
Yes, you've guessed it, Mr President, you've one the day with 52% of the vote.
Robert M: What a relief. I've been sweating over the results for all of 7 seconds. Yes, Yes, and we've manouvered out those two Ministers I couldn't sack without causing upset.
It's indeed a great day for you Mr President and the people of Zimbabwe.
Robert's Speech: Thank you for your support dear people of Zimbabwe and particularly those who manouvered the result, I mean, I mean, thank you for the efforts of my most loyal supporters and the great people of Zimbabwe.
I am nationalizing all the mines and these thieving people who have ruined our economy will be thrown out of Zimbabwe.
The future is great, the future is Mugabe, err err err, I mean, the future is Zimbabwe. God bless me, Mugabe bless you all.

Mr. President, all the options are available for you now and the extra option of ruling Zimbabwe from Malasia.
Robert M: I don't know which one to go for so its best to stop the count whilst I make up my mind.
No need Mr President, as all the voting papers are piled up in a large room. No need to count them at all, it's just a question of deciding which percentage you want.
They seem to have guessed the 52% victory and will most likely go for a runoff for the leadership.
Robert M: We could of course go for an Army coup and I'll rule from behind the scenes. Infact these days ruling from my armchair is far more comfortable, 84 you know.
Mr President, it could be better with the runoff election and we can delay for quite a while. Then we could discuss a coup with the army and give them time to arrange it properly. If the tide turns in our favour, we could say its so close we need recount after recount.
Robert M: This could go on and on for most of the year. Infact I'm enjoying this now. Can't lose really and a holiday in my Malasian hideaway beckons as the losing prize, can't be bad.

Mr President, you seem to be taking all this very quietly whilst everything outside is waiting for turmoil.
Robert M: I've learnt over the years that it's best to keep'em guessing. Even if they feel they know what is going on, and indeed they do, it's a case of my being master of this exercise and only when I decide, will these results be announced.
Total confusion about the result and no one quite knows for sure. A guessing game indeed Mr President.
Robert M: Infact I haven't quite decided what the result will be yet. Time has moved on and a runoff will follow, hardly worth announcing now. Infact I might announce it on ASF.
I'm considering a tie in the runoff and this followed by several recounts.
Mr President, I go away happy and confident. The result could not be in better hands.
