We're all screwed and the planet is going to hell. I fear that not even Obama can save us. I really must move to a place where the booze is cheaper, since clearly a lot of drinking is in order.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432497142155757992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473538325200961460.post-92116897203617282682009-01-11T21:36:00.000+01:002009-01-11T21:36:00.000+01:00It's really too bad for all the charities that got...It's really too bad for all the charities that got ripped off in the Madoff scheme, but what really gets me is the rich people who obviously figured that those outsized returns his fund was promoting was due to his status as the insider's insider on Wall Street.

He said yes and when it happens it happens very fast and you don’t see it coming. Next thing we know someone flies a plane into the World trade centre. My question seems so naive now. These days I’d be able to give you a fairly good argument that The War never even ended. In 2000 things felt like they were in balance, the biggest thing we worried about was the Millenium Bug, but they weren’t. It’s like we’re on a small ship and we’re rocking it from side to side, every time we reach the apex we think we’ve fixed it, the last thing we expect is the boat to start rocking to the other side, and then it does. Now I know why my Granny has an entire walk in cupboard of tinned food.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
