    Strange.....

    MonkeyMan bush gets on TV, the markets crater worldwide.

    Paulsen wants to give a cool 700bil, and the markets slide downward.

    The Brits/Europeans talk about guaranteeing loans - and not giving money the markets starts to rise.

    The theivery is obvious - the markets do not want any part of it.

    If we can keep commando chimpo off the teevee talking about "we're in this together" we might actually survive this.
