#10.  Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke decides pundits were wrong on the housing bubble, so he sets Fed Funds target rate at negative -3.0%. Small businesses start receiving loans.

#9.  As part of healthcare reform, Medicare is extended to teens for collagen lip augmentation.

#8.  Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup form tri-merger to guarantee they are too big to fail. 

#7.  Tiger Woods poses in Playgirl to pay for pricey revised terms in his prenup. (see previous post)

#6.  Gold spikes to $3,000 per ounce as government subsidizes dental chains in “cash for crowns” gold melting campaign. Consumers get extra cash, but Jujube candy sales plummet. (see previous post)

#5.  Bernie Madoff escapes from prison. A cigarette Ponzi Scheme created by Madoff generates enough money to bribe guards.

#4.  Apple introduces iPot – a combination iPhone and toilet.

#3.  Kazakhstan pays Brazil, Russia, India and China a 5% GDP royalty to be added to the emerging B-R-I-C-K countries. A win-win for all parties, including spelling teachers around the world.

#2.  Timothy Geithner retires from Treasury after making millions for being cast as Eddie Haskell in new remake of Leave It to Beaver movie. (see previous post)

#1.  Oprah decides to halt her retirement plans. Instead, she signs me to a multi-million dollar deal to co-host a stock & gossip show with her.

HAPPY 2010!!
