vianegativaIf you are NOT worried by the Lehman Brothers filing for Chapter 11 debt protection...
If you are NOT worried by the Merrill Lynch being bought out by Bank of America on the cheap, creating the world's largest financial services company, whose credit rating was IMMEDIATELY downgraded...
If you are NOT worried that crude oil is trading below $100 per barrel and it's still not enough to overcome the bearish sentiment in the markets...
Then you must be voting for McCain.
As well as being galactically stupid.
Bank failure is NOT the sign of a recovering economy and this is only the beginning, I think. I expect Washington Mutual to post very bad news shortly as well.
Un-frakking believable.

Oy. So horrifying.

All of these companies are now so many sandcastles in the air. They're about to collapse on us. So instead of a Dust Bowl, we'll have a sand storm.
