My opinion on the Wall-Street mess

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upvZdVK913I for those who don't like embeds

We're the people of Rock Ridge. Wall-Street is holding a gun to its own head, saying "give me money or I blow us right back to 1930." And if we do? We are soooo dumb.

President Ford knew the value of doing nothing. He inherited a nation in chaos, with riots in major cities. He knew this, too, would pass. I say we wait it out.

I heard it said "Economics is a confidence game." Yep. And it's looking not unlike the glim-drop or the hydrophoby lay right now.

In an election campaign notable for its surprises, Sarah Palin, the Republican vice- presidential candidate, may be about to spring a new one — the wedding of her pregnant teenage daughter to her ice-hockey-playing fiancé before the November 4 election.

Inside John McCain’s campaign the expectation is growing that there will be a popularity boosting pre-election wedding in Alaska between Bristol Palin, 17, and Levi Johnston, 18, her schoolmate and father of her baby. “It would be fantastic,” said a McCain insider. “You would have every TV camera there. The entire country would be watching. It would shut down the race for a week.”


That's the idea: eat news cycles. Give a happy pretty picture to the voters.


I feel like I'm in a second-string production of La Cage aux Folles.
"My co-founder was found dead in bed with an underage black whore? hold a wedding!"
