I’ve been enjoying retelling the drama of yesterday’s news to Stephanie (I stay up later reading, she wakes up earlier), and as much as I think that’d be a neat concept for a blog (or maybe a series of posts), it probably comes out better in real life. Who knows, maybe I’ll give it a shot. I do love dropping bombs like, “Oh, by the way, Iceland’s economy collapsed.” I mean what does that mean? It’s so abstract.

Whether you’re for or against the US bank rescue, I found this excerpt on Boing Boing amusing:

In essence, money is taken from the poor (via taxes, printing, and weakening of the dollar) and given to the wealthy so the wealthy supposedly will have enough money to lend back (at interest) to those who have just been robbed.

I just love that our darling president was allowed to say this:

“These measures are not intended to take over the free market, but to preserve it”

Is that free as in…beer?

• What a crappy time to have started investing in the stock market
• Marketwatching
• Learning how to save, two years later
• What would you free with $100 million dollars?
• this is how i feel today
