President Bush will select the successor to Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan later today. The leading contender is Larry, who used to give George tips on itemizing his deductables, although he is not a CPA. Larry spends most of his time at the Duke Diner in Crawford, Texas, where he reads the paper twice a day while nursing a single coffee. He prides himself on knowing what football teams should have done the night before if they wanted to win the game. He says he'll make a great "Reserved Fedora Chairman or whatever you call it" because he once lived an entire month on just $10. This is another fine selection by the Bush administration, who earlier in the month selected Harriet Miers for the supreme court, because "she knew all about them laws and stuff."
