#1 The market's the effect, not the cause. Perfect summation.

"I'd Love to Change the World" by Ten Years After popped up on my iPod yesterday. While I enjoy the song, one verse really chafes my a** everytime:

Tax the rich, feed the poor,
'Til there are no rich no more.

Sums up perfectly what the current administration of morons is all about--we don't want to raise up the poor, we just want to bring the rich down to their level and have everybody equally miserable and dependent on government for all their needs!

At least the guys who wrote the lyrics were young hippies likely stoned at the time. What's the excuse for Obama, Geithner, Pelosi, et al?

#2 Dow Jones:
Nov 4: 9625
Jan 20: 7949 -17.5%
Mar 5: 6650 -31%

Before Obama got the nomination the DOW was 11-12K.

Thanks for wiping out 1/3 of Americans wealth and near half from last summer (i.e. When McCain/Palin pulled ahead in the polls).

#5 "...and politicians say 'Mo taxes will solve everything!!'"

And that from a song that is 40+ years old.

#6 I predict that Rush and Kramer are going to have the fight of their lives on this. The WHAM(White House Attack Machine) is feeling incredibly powerful and will crank up the attack on those critical of them. God bless and good luck.
