Gentlemen, we do NOT have a bailout! Dow plunges -777!

[Human Snorenado]

We should all depression-ize our avatars.  I call Tom Joad.

[The Fake Shemp]

Will the Dow drop to four digits tomorrow?  How many companies will go belly up?

[Phoenix Dark]

From NBC/NJ's Adam Aigner-Treworgy
When McCain boarded his campaign plane with Rob Portman in preparation for his flight to Des Moines, just as the bailout legislation was defeated on the House floor, he ignored questions shouted by reporters from under the wing about the fate of the bill.

It's unclear if he could hear the questions, but when he heard reporters shouting his name he turned and waved.

So all last week he bragged about his trip to Washington, now he has nothing to say. Holy fuck, is this man trying to lose the election

[Howard Alan Treesong]

my guess is 2 more banks go insolvent by the end of the week

Hmmm, can I just use a picture of Raymond Chandler?  Maybe go back to Bertolt Brecht, the lovable commie?

EDIT: Actually, only The Big Sleep is from the 30s, so I guess Chandler doesn't fly.

Governor Palin has decided to withdrawal from the vice president debate due to the rising prices of milk and bread. Because Obama failed the American people, Palin - like many American women - is on her way to Walmart to take care of her family. As a mother who decided to carry her children to term and then not abort them as Obama and the radical left would suggest, she has everday duties that are more important than debating

Haha, he has no choice.  One of McCain's economic advisers was on MSNBC just now and David Schuster was pretty much not having it.  I would expect McCain to take a pretty big whack on this.  Honestly, Obama might lose a few points too as people will likely just be disgusted with Washington in general.

On a personal note, I turned down an actual job offer at the 11th hour last week.  Fewer projects than usual lately and I didn't want to have to dip into my savings but now it looks like that's what will happen at least in the short term.

So, we've already had the Great Depression. I suggest we call this one the

Haha, my mother is refusing to listen to Paulson or the Dow plunge.  She literally shut the television off.  And then I told her it fell to -777 and she said, "No, it came back - it's fine!"  It's like, she does not want to face reality.  Insane.

What's the best thing to be doing with my 401k now?  Should I maybe just stop contributing for the time being and put what I would be contributing into savings?

CW is already turning on the House Republicans

I don't fucking know how to tell my friend to fuck off.  He truly believes this is something that HAS to happen, so we get away from the debt monetary system.

I don't know much about economics, but I just can't imagine that letting this happen is a fucking good thing.
