Evidently, the global financial system is scheduled to melt down this weekend and we (On The Fly) would prefer not to take any of the blame. No, we didn't engage in any subprime loans. Nor did we bundle loans into questionable securities and sell them to investors. Actually, we haven't done anything other than provide our customers with the accoutrements they need to live the good life. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and since John McCain is suspending his Presidential campaign until a bailout plan is passed, On The Fly is suspending all suspender sales until a bailout plan is passed. 

After all, It's a Global Market, and the problems that started in subprime loans have caused a Chain Reaction that has Wall Street feeling very High Strung. While many analysts predicted the economy would Take a Dip, few expected these assets to have taken a Shave and a Haircut like they have, and I-bankers used to riding high are now on Full Tilt. It's Third and Long now and the Sands of Time are running out. The View from the Top looks scary, as leadership appears to be an Endangered Species. If we don't resolve this crisis soon, you may want to spend your next Holiday Abroad.

Country First -- if you don't believe us, just try to order a ton of suspenders. We won't ship them to you (unless we do by accident in which case, Thank you for your business!)

And to those looking to make a few extra bucks in this economy, we have a $50 gift certificate to any reader that writes the most creative yet relevant use of any pair of Limited Edition braces not mentioned in this blog entry. Now, that's change you can believe in.
