Slog - Comments on Thanks, World! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/thanks_world For bailing us out! ... the Federal Reserve announced that the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, the Swiss National Bank, the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England would all provide extra funding in short-term US dollar markets.

Jubilation must be thrilled, though, now that the Federal Reserve sponsors his favorite football team....
