I think this is the beginnings of an economy based on perpetual growth and fossil fuel energy running headlong into geological energy constraints. Basically I see an undulatory downward path for the rest of my life. From here out, I think any rallies in our economic condition are going to be met with spiking commodity prices that knock us right back down.

I'm Jewish and I take my holidays/festivals etc. very serioulsy.
They should be working today. With this crisis happening. Only 5% is Jewish . . . . so what?
Why aren't the REST of them there?
This is an excuse for for a paid holiday. My son had school today (but did not go) and is doing a LOT of homework this evening. School didn't stop for him?
BTW, I worked this afternoon too.

30 Rep's not there today due to the holiday. That's 6.9%. The other 93.1% should be doing their duty in this time of crisis. In fact, like you did, the 6.9% who are Jewish should be working too. It's inexcusable. _________________ Got Dharma?

If it keeps them from coming up with more crap like this bailout, then lets declare October to be Arbor month or Black History month or something and keep them away until November.
Yes, I vote for implementing this plan! Keep government away from this mess, they will only make it worse!

Research has led to the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction normally taking less than a second, to take from four days to four years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2-6 years. It does not decay, but undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes, not to mention multiple oxymorons.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. That hypothetical quantity might normally be called 'critical mass' but, in this unique case it is known as 'critical mess'.
When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (Am), another just-discovered element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons
