Vitriol Espresso "I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I'll kill you all." General James Mattis

Dow index down almost 700 points. For those not paying attention that brings it mighty close to 8000. Depression, anyone? Looks like Hopey McChange will be starting his administration on a shitty note. And if anybody were paying attention, the striking realization that Democrats were to blame for this mess from back in the Carter and Clinton administrations should offer some clue as to what's going to happen next.

Please keep in mind that nothing will bottom out until everyone begins to sell at the same time. You can bet Mr. McChange will step in and make more imaginary money to stave off the bleed. This also gives our overly liberal (read: Marxist) majority the clout to dissolve the republic. They're already sending 20k troops into the US to handle 'emergencies.' One tends to wonder what kind of emergencies this contingency is supposed to handle. Terrorist activities don't happen in 90% of the nation, you know?

Blah. Conspiracy theories are stupid. Let's just watch and see what happens, shall we? Maybe I'll go back to football gambling to pass the time.
