Standard and Poor's will restore the US Debt Rating to AAA under the following conditions:
$4 Trillion dollars in budget cuts, in unmarked bills, placed in a brown paper bag and left under the bench in front of S&P headquarters at 5:23 pm sharp.
40 Virgins to be thrown into a volcano of S&P's choosing.
Remember that whole subprime mortage thing a couple years ago? Neither do we.
A pony.
0% federal income tax rate on all Americans with the last names “Standard” or “Poor.”
Justin Beiber tickets (good seats this time, damn it.)
Fava beans and a nice chianti.
Any photos, video or other recording from the last Standard and Poor's board meeting after- party must be destroyed.
Derek Jeter embarks on an exciting new career as Special VP to Special Projects prior to the start of the Credit Rating Agencies Softball Fall League.*
John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Harry Reid, and Mitch McConnell to meet privately with S&P executives. Bring knee pads and a wash cloth, you'll need 'em.
*If we lose to Moody's again this year, the deal's off.
