What a lovely day

When I wrote this, it was late morning. By the time I got around to posting, it was after the closing bell and Wall Street ad closed over 500 points down.

Lehman Bros. is sinking, Merrill-Lynch is being bought by a monster bank and sweetheart money manager AIG has just said that it needs $40. BILLION in emergency funds to keep going. The Dow slid 300 points within 15 minutes of the opening bell, and John MCain has just told a crowd in Florida that our enconomy is "fundamentally strong".

This man is smoking exactly WHAT, for breakfast?
