Aliens overlords are upbeat, expecting economic gains and good buys

With global stock markets continuing to lose ground, terrestrial investors remained concerned today that the current global financial crisis will lead to worldwide recession. Aliens, on the other tentacle, were upbeat. "With their world in ruins, Earth beings will be mired in day-to-day concerns, allowing us the opportunity to raise our standard of living," said one gigantic, balloon-like being from the far side of Jupiter, whose name is expressed as a billowing cloud of gas.

Others felt the economic stars indicated propitious timing for real estate speculation. "Puny candidate Ma-Keen has right idea, feel time is to buy land and tame wild hu-man population," said K'hhh't the Terrible in an interview. "Hu-man food an-mal. More land at low price."

Tourism experts cautioned Earth residents that with Earth currency declining in value, more aliens would select the planet for their next vacation, where they would enjoy increased value for their travelers' checks.

Reached for comment, Land of the Spawn of Demon Seed President (Ret.) George W. Bush hissed viciously at a member of the press, although mouthpieces ultimately destined to become one with Darkness privately tried to downplay his role in allowing aliens to seize economic advantage from the Land of the Spawn of Demon Seed. "With a plan this big, a few things can go wrong," said Sean Hannity of Fox News. "His ultimate transformation is not yet complete, so, sure, there will be a few economic wobbles. We'll end up on top--of this world, or the next."
