Garrison Keillor:...after this message—

Tim Russell (GREENSPAN): This is Alan Greenspan, former head of the Federal Reserve Bank back when things were better and somebody was steering our nation's economy on a careful course between deep waters and the rocks of recession. Nowadays, with clowns like this Wolfowitz character and the others, who knows? That's why I took my savings out of the World Bank and put it in a coffee can, in my freezer. And that's why I'm urging all of you to throw off fiscal restraint and have a whee of a time now, while you can — live, laugh, love, and be happy. Forget the stock market. It's going to hell in a handbasket. Take that vacation to France. Rent the big chateau for the summer-buy that Jaguar you've always wanted -hire a band and throw the kind of party you've only seen in movies. Spend it like you got it. And that's why I've come out with Greenspan Green Banana Liqueur. It's a powerful drink that gets you where you want to go.

GK: Greenspan Green Banana Liqueur.

Sue Scott (JINGLE, BREATHY): Spend it...while you can...with Greenspan.
