And Rahm, like J. Bruce Ismay, is pressuring Odumbo to steam full ahead.

And Bwarney Fwank promenading on the poop deck; Little Timmy Geithner up at the bowsprit shouting, "I'm king of the World!"; and Juan McLame, Lindsey Grahamnesty, Arlen Spectre, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins on iceberg watch up in the crows nest.
