LOL! Honestly, I posted my Recession Confession poem to Drills and Amusements today before I saw this thread!

PS--I hasten to clarify that, if ANY religious theme played ANY role whatsoever in this meltdown, it was probably all the bumperstickers on SUVs saying, "CAUTION: In case of Rapture, this vehicle will be unmanned!" (A lot of my neighbors seemed to think the world would conveniently end before any environmental and/or financial pigeons came home to roost.)
PPS--No, wait! I forgot Bruce Wilkinson's runaway bestseller
The Prayer of Jabez , a.k.a. the Creed of Greed, which offers the following financial planning advice:
"Attempt something large enough that failure is guaranteed…unless God steps in!"
PPPS--Nah, I take it back. The whole crisis had to be precipitated by my personal failure to say "Merry Christmas" to all my non-Christian friends and relatives. Sorry about that. I'll try to do better this year.
