holy schmokes

thought i'd break my online fast and do a quick check of the world while Duncan is sleeping.

1) stock markets are going crazy because of the credit crisis,
2) Fed slashed interest rates 3/4 of a percent a week before their scheduled policy meeting (can we say quarterly and 2007 annual earnings statement week, boys and girls?)
3) the writers strike is threatening the Oscars
4) Obama is looking iffy for South Carolina
5) Meg is retiring after 10 years.

I'm going back into the baby bubble.
