Our mayors have been put on notice

The AP reported today that the President warned the nation's mayors not to waste the bailout money or he'd "call them out".

What the hell does that mean? Oh no, not a stern talking too. That's like dad looking at his 14-year-old son who got drunk and smashed through the sliding glass door and telling him to go to time out and think about what he did wrong.

President: "Mr. Mayor, you wasted $150 million and I'm very disappointed in you. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Mayor: "I don't pay my taxes either. Can I have a job?"

President: "Let me see what I can do."
