Bailout hope teeters on dubious desks
As I come to the end of a working day in the midst of a week like this with negative financial news dominating both the dial and the internet, the best thing I can think of to do is be thankful for the strength to make it through the day. The next best thing I can think of to do is remember in November to vote in such a way that there is the least chance of this mayhem repeating itself.
I see that financial expert Warren Buffet is investing in at least one failing company. I heard some people say that Mr. Buffet should be running for president. But that's the problem. If he had to take time from his financial workings in order to run the country he would probably no longer be such a great investor. Instead, we're going to have politicians, not professional investors, trying to pick up the pieces of the lending and banking crisis. A friend of mine wondered how I could make jokes about it. I didn't have to make any jokes. The jokes are just built right in.
