Popularity turns on a dime in this country. We have no patience.
Right now imo, we dont know which way anything is going.

Anyone watch the Frontline, how the Bankers were absolutely
bullied by Paulson, Bernake, and then Obama? It may have been
necessary, but anyone who saw that could only conclude
Obama et al. are very keen on massive government intervention
with a big fat arm twisting.

I am glad I am alive because we are living in some very interesting
times. I bet the media outlets are mad as hell we have a tidal wave
of stories all at once. Look at all the events international and
domestically that have occurred. Its amazing.

I'm glad you're alive too, Pgardn! Did your sabbatical turn out well?
