My cable company doesn't have financial market coverage until 3 AM. I'm missing the show!
I'm sure there will still be plenty of panic to watch after the Asian markets close, but dang!

What do the miners do when the canary dies? EVACUATE THE MINE not argue about the color of it's feathers or buy a parrot instead.
Where is my pitchfork and torch? I need them for a visit to the castle!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('thuja', 'H')ow does that even work? Stock prices are frozen? No worldwide trading? How does that stop an economic meltdown? Suddenly people can't sell their assets? Wouldn't that lead to riots and blood on the street?
Nice to see some people catching on!-

You know, I always thought the people with the CT's about how the 2008 election was going to be canceled were wingnuts. Now I'm starting to wonder if they were onto something.

What a bloodbath.
Friday could be the goriest day yet on Wall Street. Brace yourselves for a 1000-point drop.
It would be really interesting to see an interview with the mad scientists who dreamed up the insane "financial instruments" that caused all this. What would they have to say?

The same thing they always say $this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'J')ust because I invented it does not mean I am moraly responsible for how it is used...
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
