McCain, Palin and Economics

Imagine this scenario: McCain and Palin get elected. A team of top professors in economics immediately meet up with both to discuss about the financial crisis and recession. While McCain is talking with the professors, Palin says, "Excuse me while I deal with home economics. I am preparing some nice cookies for you guys with affordable yet quality ingredients." The professors start to brief McCain on the economic situation. McCain scratches his head and browses through the Economics textbooks for some basic ideas about those alien terms he heard. Then he asks the professors to explain to him what they mean because he's simply clueless. Gosh! The professors can't laugh at how senile a President is or shake their heads in front of him. So they could only pray to God that they'd never have to teach such a moron back in their university. But since they teach in the top universities, none had ever taught such a difficult student before. They become clueless how this moron could be enlightened. Palin, meanwhile, has finished baking her traditional American cookies, and serves them to the professors. Then, suddenly, while McCain is scratching his head as his hair keeps falling, he faints. He has a relapse of cancer and is hospitalised. News of the US President being hospitalised is broadcast and the stock market plunges and needs immediate attention from the White House. Then the econs professors immediately meet up with Palin, hoping that this acting President would know more about econs than McCain. Then Palin replies: "Oh, econs, I sure know a lot about Home Economics. I cut discount coupons and shop at K Mart. I could save a lot by doing these. What else should I do, professors?"
