Weighty Problems

No more sweets, jelly and marshmallows for Koko"s cousin Osine (pic). The starets at Monkey World in Dorset are putting her on fruit and vegetables - like other primates - until she loses her belly.

Koko tells me Osine has become depressed by her economic projections and having lost her future orientation, is now "heavily invested in futility", and "living for the moment".

She may even have to miss out on the next G8 meeting, according to concerned zoo officials.

Her handlers are doing the impossible to put her in shape for the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2011
Davos-Klosters, Switzerland 26-30 January. Nothing in the world could make her miss those cozy evenings in the Swiss Alps. She is already scheduled to chair the session on "Capitalism's Future: Monkey Business?".

Koko will be delivering a lecture entitled, " Wall Street's mild, slight conflict of interest-the 600lb gorilla in the room"; followed by "Hanky Panky with Mr Bernanke: An Asian Perspective", by Miss Yeti.

Apres Ski to be hosted by "Curious George" Soros.

Koko, as we know, is the most successful speculator on Wall Street, yet she is complains that no one seems to notice her.

She feels very insulted. People calls Fuld "A Real Gorilla" in her presence, totally ignoring her.

It is rumored, however, that Koko is the real brains behind Soros. She may have ghost authored his latest book, "Reflections, Retractions and Recriminations on Reflexivity, Reflexology and Refractology", and is said to be currently working on the next one: "Mass Immigration and the Open Society-It's a Real Zoo Out There!".

However Koko denies these allegations. Says she: "If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys".

Koko is behind Soros's worldwide promotion of Human Rights and behind Soros's 100 million donation for the Human Rights Foundation. This is a paradox (Soros's humanity is in doubt, while Koko is a proud nonhuman). But it is only an apparent paradox, because Koko calculates that Open Society will bring equality and voting right to primates (her dream is to be elected the first female President).

As a Primate, Koko can be assured of the Catholic vote. She will of course pick up the "diversity vote", since she will trump Hillary on a number of parameters there. , I am convinced, furthermore, she will attract Obama's endorsement, since she knows little of her father and was doubtless brought up by naive white people.

Where she might fall down, however, is in the mud wrestling competition with Sarah Palin.

Also, Koko doesn't yet know that Osine has been drafted in as Palin's campaign manager, to provide some intellectual heft.

Koko is writing her memoirs titled "Nightmares from my Mother" where she analyzes her fears of falling while jumping from one tree branch to a distant branch. It is a kind of "coming of age" story, where her immature fears are solved by her becoming President of the United States. It is also a prophetic dream, that turns out true.

Since America has now become a banana republic, at least we can rest assured that Koko's fastidious dietary requirements will be easily satisfied.

Nuriel Roubini just warned about the coming double dip banana crisis in the USA. It will be a real banana shake.

A shake-down, in fact.
