 Greece Offers to Repay Loans with Giant HorsePosted on May 9, 2010Fake news by Andy Borowitz BRUSSELS—In what many are hailing as a breakthrough solution to Greece’s crippling debt crisis, Greece today offered to repay loans from the European Union nations by giving them a gigantic horse. Finance ministers from 16 EU nations awoke in Brussels this morning to find that a huge wooden horse had been wheeled into the city center overnight. The horse, measuring several stories in height, drew mixed responses from the finance ministers, many of whom said they would have preferred a cash repayment of the bailout. But German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she “welcomed the beautiful wooden horse,” adding, “What harm could it possibly do?” Elsewhere, two days after the White House Correspondents Dinner, the Pakistani Taliban took responsibility for Jay Leno’s act. Award-winning humorist, television personality and film actor Andy Borowitz is author of the book “The Republican Playbook.” Advertisement  TAGS:

Probably too late for the USA but Greece could try it. Heck, Wall St is still asking for bail out money so we can still do it too. Thank you Republicans for this answer. BARTER WITH CHICKENS!! Of course, why wouldn’t the rest of us listen. The Repubs said it would work for health care reform. BARTER WITH CHICKENS. It may drive up the prices at KFC or Popeyes and at the meat markets for a while, but a small price to pay in order to correct the Wall St errors. Then, then, bring on the AMA and Insurance people. This world is on the mend. Oh-h-h, if we all had only listened earlier.
