his name is Alan not ron.It says it right there on his name tag.Hon Alan Greenspan.Hon means Honorable
I think the misnomer is funnier than the LOL. Good job, PK! Thanks for the laugh today!
“Hon means Honorable”
I thought it stood for Honest Mistake.
LOL, I was about to post the same thing.
Honorable ALAN Greenspan, not Ron Greenspan. Sheesh.
LMAO, I was coming to point out the mistake, I didn’t even see they took it from his name card. Win!
Jeez, what do you guys have against Ron Greenspan?
“Hon means Honorable”
`
Unless it’s your significant other calling you “Hon”, but we can probably rule that out in this lol.
Ron Greenspan?
Alan greenspan silly.Honorable Alan Greenspan like on the name tag
Apparently they think that printing money and flooding the market with it will make the economy better.
It’s the usual response to what’s called ‘Stagflation’… it’s what’s called ‘an article of faith’
If inflation is dropping at the same time as the economy, it is the perfect thing to to. There is little that could be done better than flood a market with money in such a situation.
HAY GUISE! HAS ANYONE SAID HIS NAME ISN’T RON YET!? LOLOLOL
I prefer to call him “Captain Douchebag Greenspan”
Jackie Mason is looking rough these days…

Maybe someone thought the Hon was Ron…??
Then he’d have four names. Must be hard filling out those standardized tests. o_o
My brother has four names. It is not as uncommon as you think.
Oh, I know, not saying it’s really rare. Just sayin’. =P
Oh, argh. Another pet peeve of mine – standardized form with too little space. It often happens that I have to give an address which is positively unusable because the space for “street name and number” is made for someone who lives on “Main St 1012″, whereas mine needs 21 signs, counting spaces. (And having three “first” names, I rarely can give my full name when promted to do so, either. :p)
It is. You should see how schools mangle/combine tha names, too.
*the
Honorable Captain Ron Alan Douchebag Jackson Smith Greenspan Money Money Sugar Sugar and More Money, Jr.
I believe that should be:
`
Honorable Captain Ron Alan Douchebag Jackson Smith Greenspan Joey Joe-Joe Shabbadoo Money Money Sugar Sugar and More Money, Jr.
It’s Alan Greenspan’s twin brother, Ron Greenspan.
Which one is the evil one?
There BOTH evil, unc…it’s just a matter of “degrees of evilitude”
“Moviegoers will delight in the madcap antics of Alan and Ron Greenspan in their latest comedy feature, The Economy Trap! It’s a whirlwind of mistaken identity and zany misunderstandings.”
Written and Directed by Henry Paulson.
Says on moviegoer: “I haven’t seen acting with that kind of depth since…well…I’d have to go all the way back to Larry Storch on F-Troop!”
F-Troop! ah, comedy gold… subtle, almost Pinteresque in it’s refinement and underplaying…
Most of my Mexican coworkers have four or more names. It makes it hard to figure out which ones use a different name because I only know three of their six names, and which are working under false documentation.
I’m torn… is that social comment or latent racism?
I don’t know…I have had a similar issue. Some of the kids I work with are of Mexican decent and sometimes it is difficult to get their real names without documentation. Most of the kids we get cannot present a birth certificate or Social Security Number (and even some of those are Aliases).
Many of the documents we recieve have a number of Aliases only which they (or their parents) had been using at one time or another and it makes it tough to sort out who a court officer is ACTUALLY looking for…
As I’m a manager, and one of my jobs is to make sure I don’t employ anyone who isn’t legally entitled to work in the USA, which do you think?
I think it is a social comment about the latent racism in the world since Uncle Fester came out of the blue with the racism comment when you were just talking about names. However, it is not your racism but his perceived racism within you.
So short version, he’s projecting.
Which is better than projectiling…
Actually you’re probably projecting since I didn’t know PM’s role (there again, since I don’t usually give a good god damn about anyone’s private life but my own, that’s a ‘quelle surprise’ moment…) Knowing it’s on his job descriptions ‘keeping the filthy Latinos out of our glorious homeland unless they’re carded’ then it’s fine…
That’s not what he said…there’s some pretty major penalties for employers who either knowingly or negligently hire foreign workers without the proper immigration credentials. Apparently PM is tasked with ensuring that his company’s in compliance and out of trouble, which means checking to make sure anyone hired is working legally. I’m pretty sure he’s not deporting them, just not hiring them!
Did you have your sense of humour surgically removed, or
are you somehow on the autistic spectrum?
No, no, no, Fester. Canadians and Europeans are entitled to the same treatment, regardless of skin color.
Sorry, ‘dirty foreigners… glorious homeland’ NP
So I’m projecting that your projecting that PM is projecting that carp have scales and Latinos smell of elderberry that projects into younger berries…
Got it.
…but that’s what you said about the sperm whale!
No, you’re simply missing the fact I’m taking the piss…
As a manager it is also my job to make sure I know a person’s name.
It’s difficult when they don’t even know their own name. At least, the one on their papers.
Well, I know we call him “Juan”, but his Mexican ID says “Juan Carlos Jorge Jiminez-Interian Gonzales”. Worse yet are the nicknames that are to mexican names what “Chuck” is to “Charlie”, ie, not clearly realted.
Nesting Fail
Shouldn’t this be posted to the Fail Blog now?
Alan Greenspan looks a lot like my American government professor…
Basically it works like this: We take money enough to give every man, woman, and child in this country $2,750. But we don’t give it to them. We give it to:
-Companies that are failing.
-Companies that aren’t failing yet, but are doing the same things that the failing companies did.
-Companies that do something that looks cool.
-Non-profits that brown-nose the federal government.
And that makes the economy work better. Why, if we had tried this 20 years ago, then today you could hop on an Eastern Airlines flight with your mini-disc player in hand, stopping in the lobby to check on your arbitrage as you head off to Hands Across America ‘09.
You missed out
“Companies that not only failed but accelerated into the ground, taking us all with it”
Who are you, and what have you done with steroid?
It’s hard to watch the effects as they progress, isn’t it?
Right, because blaming socialism for the world’s problems is so not me.
I trust it’s you. Blaming something and calling it socialism definitely sounds like you.
OK, then help me out here. What is the name of the ideology whence comes the idea of using government spending ostensibly to prime the economy but actually to fund an agenda and then delaying paying for it until the choice between higher taxes and inflation becomes unavoidable, then doing both? That’s a lot of words. Give it to me in one or two. Pragmatic Keynsianism? Short-term populism?
-
It was a tenet of Mussolini’s fascism in Italy… and in the current situation as it’s been handled, inflation AND higher taxes can be the only out come. There is no choice.
TBH, what they’ve done with this ‘bail-out’ is introduced a long term instability that will take decades to die out. The economy is not a negative feed back lop
Not totally sure, but giving money to the rich is not socialism.
