The chickens have come home to roost

So ever since the financial markets started to unravel, I have heard Dad's voice, summing it up perfectly, saying, "Well, it looks to me like the chickens have come home to roost."

He was wise that way, our daddy.

So it's going to cost all of us an arm and a leg to pay for the mistakes of the idiots who have been asleep at the wheel. There's the rub.

But yes, indeed, those chickens have come home to roost all right. Do you suppose the governor from Alaska has the answers to this one? I mean, she supposedly knows how to balance a budget -- or so we've been told.

Maybe we can get those chickens to roost in Wasilla.

Uh...from what I read, she left Wasilla in a boat-load of debt. Plus, Wasilla had about five thousand people in it. What does that have to do with the United States of America or the international economic situation?
Not much.
If anything.

My point exactly. If she's the next vice president or tie-breaking vote in the Senate, does anyone seriously think she has a clue what to do about financial problems of this proportion? But when McCain announced her "qualifications" early on, he twice in one sentence said she "knew how to balance budgets." We have a big "duh" factor here. The woman scares me.
