Its Like We Gave Ourselves a Self-inflicted Lobotomy Today

We won't be as aggressive in the future. For the moment we still look about the same; little puffy around the eyes, but other than that about normal looking for the moment. But we have just changed. Its as if we took a rusty old knitting needle out of grand-maw's sewing basket and jammed it right up the old snout. Crashing through the sinus and right into the lobes; a quick twist and turn, pull it back out, and Bingo! A new tame us.

So now we have a failed banking system, one that by all accounts will come to more or less a complete halt by the end of the week. Someone tell me what's next. I'm just sittin' here feelin about half brain-dead myself.

3. What's next is.... 1930.

No need for a time machine.

We're about to relive it.

8. And what if all your quite dire predictions turn out to be just BS

What point is your sky is falling panic? Are you into blaming DUers for their opinions? What is your point and just how constructive is it? None of this is DU's fault. None of us have been happy with Congress for quite some time. In fact Congress has a much lower approval rating than Bush*. So why are you so intent on your brow beating? Offer something Conmstructive for a change would be my advice..

10. I really hope this is your 3rd OP because I'm tired of hearing about your

portfolio woes. Do you give half as much energy to helping the poor in society?
