Can I fish for tuna there?
Side note: Do you think the Dow will hit 7000 by the time Obama gives his speach in Denver? |

I think TDF had you pegged...this is about on par with wishing for another 9/11 because it will make Bush look bad.
Rush Limbaugh made a daily habbit out of mocking Liberals for this.
Buck, are you really a Liberal?

I caught it at work and it was excellent - you can watch it in it's entirety at PBS.org - Inside the Meltdown.
They did an incredible job of unraveling and explaining what caused the banking crisis, which is complex in the details - really well done. Interesting perspective on Bernanke, Paulson and Geithner too - it was an eye-opener for me.
Not exactly light viewing but I'd call it a must see - it will give you a deeper understanding of what happened and where things may end up.
You know, I heard the stimulus likened to giving aspirin to a cancer patient - if you watch Inside the Meltdown you'll understand how far the cancer has metasticized in our economy and across the globe - and why... 
I'm going to try to stay awake for the 2 AM rebroadcast on GBH 2 - at the very least, I will watch it again tomorrow online. |

Glad at least someone else on this board saw this.
I will be watching it again tonight or tomorrow evening, excellent stuff
Not only does it show how far it spread but how fast and how even unrelated senior officials thought various components of the finance system were.
It seems like a true cancer that spreads through the lymphatic system only appearing elsewhere after the 'supposed' all clear has been sounded.
In our economy its more like we have multiple cancers attacking various parts of the system, all purported to be terminal by those areas under attack.
Banks, manufacturers, state and local government, etc..

I don't think asking if the Dow will hit 7000 is on par with wishing thousands dead. IMO |
