Sole-O Diplomacy - After years spent attempting to perfect the 'shoe bomb', radical islamic terrorists have been shown the way forward by an Iraqi TV reporter. Getting an American president to duck (twice) from shoes (allegedly size 10) tossed by an indignant newsie was a public relations coup. One of a magnitude that has left Osama bin Laden Kermit-green with envy. We can expect elite shoe-tossing squads to form soon.
Free Money - A new low in both interests rates and governmental sense and reason was reached on Tuesday, when the Fed announced it would cut it's prime rate to 'between zero and .25 percent'. What's next? Maybe Ford, GM, and Chrysler will announce an incentive deal for negative 0.99% financing. Under the plan, the longer the loan period, the less you pay! I can gel with that. Meanwhile banks will likely raise the rates they charge consumers for credit cards by 5%. Again.
Will the last honest person please turn off the lights - Are there any honest brokers left on Wall Street? There must be at least one. Ironically it is probably someone nobody trusts, unlike Bernie Madoff, who everyone trusted. Anyway, if you are there, please turn off the lights when you leave. Cancel the mail, close shop, and take up a job at Ford, GM, or Chrysler.
