This is the lead in Andy Borowitz’s new essay. I tend to like a lot of his material and I’m happy here to call attention to particularly timely and funny column on his part.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – Just days after downgrading the credit rating of the United States, Standard & Poor’s was on high alert this morning after an unmanned Predator drone was seen hovering over its headquarters in lower Manhattan.

While the mission of the Predator was unclear, some insiders speculated that S & P might be in for a downgrade of its own.

Please go to his web site and read the whole essay. It’s worth the trip.
