    “Okay, TommyBoy - you don’t mind if I call you TommyBoy do you? Of course you don’t - so TommyBoy, here’s what we’re going to do. You’re going to pay $130 million to pay our troops enough to buy some ramen soup for a month, and I’m going to give you ANYTHING you want. Hell, I just gave Argentina $40 billion, instead of health care for Americans, just so the SecTreas’ friends wouldn’t go belly up in their irresponsibly risky investment with a country that goes bankrupt every 3.5 years.”

    “My name is Timothy.”

    “What? No, it’s TommyBoy now. So whaddaya say, TommyBoy, you in?”

    “Sure, whatever you say, Your Excellency.”
