Small Torn Campbell’s Soup Can (Pepper Pot),” by Andy Warhol
Bloomberg reports:
“The S&P 500 retreated 106.59 points to 1,106.42, the most since Oct. 26, 1987. Only one company gained, Campbell Soup Co.”
Are people heading to their bunkers with canned goods? Don’t forget plenty of water and doggie treats.

This is great!!
And ammo! Don’t forget the ammo.
totally!
I am glued to CNN. Oddly, no one is talking about any specifics regarding the economy. No attempt is being made to explain the Wall Street financial crisis to the small guy. Has the government taken over the media?
Mortgage backed securities–how many people even know what they are?
We are expected to hand $700 Billion over to make sure that people can still get credit for huge SUVs they can’t afford and so that big execs can continue to pull multi million dollar salaries.
How about a deal where the execs that got us into this mess, do not get to keep the millions they made on this mess? No we got a deal where they get to keep what they have PLUS take another $1/2 million on their way out.
I say let the economy rip. We will survive.
The economy may be in crisis, but there is nothing more important than vacation. Yes, Congress is out on vacation until Thursday. Jewish holidays.
Uh . . . stay tuned . . . Congess will get back into crisis mode after vacation.

I have no idea what is *really* going on. And I would very much like to know who would actually be getting $ from the government (and who is not…and why?) No one is talking specifics. Although I must confess, I have not read the bill either. Maybe it’s there. But, isn’t that what CNN could/should be doing? I think they don’t want to name names to avoid another Indy Mac run on the bank.
But something crazy has happened when I think Tom Delay is making good points (not all of them). But he raises some interesting questions about this whole plan and its necessity.
Bottom line, I don’t know what to think. And that is pretty rare too. I have an opinion about everything. In case you haven’t noticed.
