How Kraft's Entry Affects the Dow

Kraft replacing AIG on the Dow Jones...

It makes perfect sense that Wall Street would want cheese to go with their whine.

After picking up the $85 billion tab, using money that the Fed is currently printing in their basement, most American taxpayers will have to make due with eating Kraft Dinner - at least they're being honest about that much.

Gee George, be sure to pat yourself and all the GOP majority members on the back - no really - I didn't want any of the lobster and champagne that the AIG execs are feasting on anyway.
