So Two Central Bankers Walk Into a Bar...
"Monetary policy humor" is usually a contradiction in terms. Any attempt to inject some laughs into the meetings of the Federal Reserve's policy group, the Federal Open Market Committee, deserves applause, if not a chuckle or two.
Unsatisfied with today's interest rate decision? Maybe you'll find one you like on this website. There you will see a phony Fed statement that is akin to mad libs for Wall Street wonks.
Every time you click on Ben Bernanke's face, up pops a different rate decision.
You also get new economic justifications, like " the rapid increase of blog launches," "the relaxation of crop-circle incidents," and "dizzying underlying growth in the price of Nebraska real estate."
Not exactly comic gold, but we take what we can get.
