Arianna Huffington, former Santa Barbarian, has proved to me that there is big money in low-brow blog blather so I am considering revamping The Daily Capitalist™ into something similar in order to cash in on the big bucks. I’m guessing that some down and out web media company will need my catchy formula to rescue their failing concept. If she can get $315 million for her crap, I could make some big bucks with mine.

I’m going to try out a few headlines on you to gauge my plan. I don’t think I’m actually stealing her idea, just improving on it a bit to serve my unique audience.

Michelle Obama’s Secret Passion

The Daily Capitalist has learned that the First Lady has a secret passion that she kept hidden from her husband for years! Sources tell The Daily Capitalist that Mrs. Obama was caught by her husband reading a secret book by flashlight late night under the couple’s sheets. After a brief struggle, from which apparently the President needed several stitches in his lip, Mr. Obama came up with the book, Ludwig von Mises’s brilliant study of epistemology and methodology, Theory and History. Sources say that Obama was stunned by Michelle’s behavior. “I thought you gave this shit up years ago!” he said. Mrs. Obama agreed to enter private therapy with top experts including Larry Summers and Paul Krugman. Malia Obama was overheard telling friends at Washington’s posh Sidwell Friends School that “Mommy and Daddy aren’t speaking to each other.” Stay tuned for more on this exciting story and what it means for America.

“I Make Money!” Will The Government Shut-Down Stop The Fed’s Printing Presses?

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke announced today that if the budget isn’t funded on Friday, the Fed may have to shut down the U.S. printing presses. “We’ll run out of paper notes by Monday which would be an unparalleled disaster for the economy,” said Bernanke. Bernanke noted that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing has been working 25/7 to meet the Fed’s demands for its monetary policy known as quantitative easing. “The whole economy runs on currency,” said Bernanke, “and if we stop the presses we stop the economy.” Heavy criticism of the Fed’s printing policy has come from House Republicans as well as Democrats. Dennis Kucinich, Dem., Ohio, said, “This is absurd. Why don’t they just use plastic bills that last longer and make them in bigger denominations, too. We’ve got to get this economy rolling again.”
