Just kidding, but I wonder how long before we start seeing wing nut articles and posts on that. I'll have to keep a watch out...

DOW Drops 777
That is kind of a weird number. If 666 is the devil, then is 777 the sign of God? Is this a sign from God?? Oh My God!!
McCain No Stranger To Tough Times In Economy

The last time our Country was in a large economic crisis caused by lack of regulation, like now, was the Charles Keating Savings & Loan Scandal in the 80's. Like now back then John McCain was a prominent fixture in the headlines. Except then it was because he got caught using his position on the commerce committee to interfere with the regulation and investigation into Keating's scam. McCain along with four other Senators were known as the Keating Five.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Keating Five, google it. Great insight into who he is, what he thinks about regulations, how close he gets to corporations , how he abuses his power, etc. You will find the type of person the Republicans are throwing out for President this year and probably a whole lot more.
Point is, the guy is a criminal. He wasn't young when he did that. He knew what he was doing and I guarantee our problems will be ten-fold with his boys running things. It would be Phil Gramm, Carly Fiorina, Lindsay Grahm and a whole host of other anti-regulation type champions, paving the way for even more abuse. Soon we (US) would be the ones filing bankruptcy. China would be re posessing our National Banks. John McCain would be blaming it on the Democrats and so on and so on.
Fact is the best economies happen under Democratic Presidents. I say we all do our best to make sure that happens in November.

John McCain Says Economy Strong; Dow Drops 500 Points

John McCain said today that the economy is "Fundamentally Strong". The very same day that the DOW dropped 500 points, Lehamn Brothers filed for bankruptcy, and Bank Of America bought out a failing Merrill Lynch. The things this man says make my head hurt. Oh and he quoted "Herbert Hoover" in talking about the economy today. There is no end...
