black monday

well, maybe not---it was only the seventh or eighth biggest drop, percentage wise, in the stock market---but being the largest single point drop (777+) and knowing that over a friggn trillion dollars in "wealth" evaporated today is enough to give one pause---i'm oh so very lucky to be where i am today, but i can't say the same for just about everybody i care about----

at the very least, maybe, this has made it for obama----he's gone from just 4 or 5 points up in the intrade market last week, to 12-15 over the weekend, to nearly 25 the last time i looked----barack and roll
