today the stock market dropped below what it was when bush took office in january 2001---10788 then, 10610 today
unemployment was 4.25% then, and is now over 6% and going up even before all the tens of thousands of financial-genius assholes were thrown out of work by the latest financial debacles (or is it debacli?)---
thanks, george

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
