Things Are So Bad, You Have to Laugh

If you spent the weekend in the office, trying to save your company -- and your job -- or figuring out how to benefit from the government's bailout, here's what you missed on late-night TV.

Jay Leno on the Tonight Show:

"Financial experts are saying we are entering a new chapter in the American economy. I believe it's Chapter 11."

"Man, things are not looking good. I opened the business section of the paper today. It said, 'You Don't Want To Know.' That was the headline."

"Give you an idea how bad the American economy is -- Mexico is now calling for a fence along the border."

"President Bush had a press conference today outside the Oval Office to talk about the economy. He would have had it inside but, you know, the bank has foreclosed on it."

"No, President Bush announced ... that he will be working with Congress to use hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to restore confidence in the market. But that was his second choice to fix the problem. First choice: invade Wall Street."
