DAYTON, OH—According to 5-year-old Janie Wright’s mean older brother, Dave, 8, if unsuitable borrowers Ken and Barbie continue to default on their high-risk subprime mortgages, it could spell the worst doll-housing crisis to hit the plastic couple since someone threw their dream home’s roof out a window.
"[Ken and Barbie] were dumb and ugly so now they’re going to lose their home and it’s going to wind up in the garbage," said the big jerk, who predicted that since the dolls have not made a single payment, he might just have to cut off all of Barbie’s hair to sell it for extra money. "Maybe they can move into a shoe box that they barely fit into. But it won’t have any windows so they’ll suffocate and die."
The nasty older sibling added that since Ken and Barbie never insured the dollhouse, they would have no recourse in the event of fire, flood, or stomping.

I just got my friend, for his 30th birthday, the Onion’s "Our Dumb Century" and pre-ordered their new book "Our Dumb World"  If anyone is looking for a book that you can read in your free time for a few years due to the huge amount of hilarious material, I strongly suggest Our Dumb Century.  I think its way funnier than the Website has been lately…

It has to be a spoof.  There is no way the real Bush can say this without messing up:
"But most of all, it hurt those good people who got salaries depending on the free flow of financial liquidity and on being able to package and sell high-risk subprime loans as AAA-grade mortgage-backed securities. "

Parody.

And yes the string of actual sentences being mostly grammatically correct prove that it is parody.

That sign is for real, right?  Not touched up or anything?
