Explains our economic collapse

And so many other things....

LA GRANDE, Ore. -- A mouse found inside an automatic teller machine -- along with a nest it had built with chewed-up $20 bills -- gave an Oregon gas station employee the surprise of her life.

The mouse, discovered Thursday, had thoroughly torn up two bills and damaged another 14 to line his nest. Employee Millie Taylor says she screamed and slammed the machine's door shut.

The bank replaced all the money that wasn't extensively damaged, and the ATM has continued to work just fine. The mouse also got a reprieve: He was evicted from his nest but set free outside the station.

Where did the 9 BILLION go that is unaccounted for in Iraq? Mice. Where did the bailout money actually go when handed to the banks? Mice. Where did the money grabbed by Enron and Madoff go? Mice.

Those damned mice got everything!....

Or do I mean rats?
