Dow falls…

It appears the  stock market  is finally waking from its hopey changey slumber and begun to realize the economy is in real trouble.   Gee,  I can’t wait to see how His Oneness spins this news.

Dow shocker…

The Dow  dropped 1,000 points,  the second  largest drop in history,  and now the question is  why.

Theyre now claiming a  trader error created the slump,  though Citigroup is basically denying it is involved.

Stay tuned — this may be a  technical glitch or something even more  interesting.

UPDATE:  A little  more information on human and computer reaction and intervention.

Exploding earth…

You go to Iceland to shoot outdoor clothing and Eyjafjallajoekull blows its top,   turning you into an accidental nature photographer.

Others captured photos from above,  including one disturbingly reminiscent of Edward Munch’s  “the Scream.”

I’m sorry for all the travelers who can’t get where they’d like to go,  but it provides His Oneness a  convenient excuse to miss the funeral of those Polish government officials killed in the airplane crash.   He played golf instead.

The L.A. Times ignores the spewing natural phenomenon as it warns that   cleaner air could speed global warming,  providing an excuse for geo-engineering,  a fancy name for a bunch of scientists who want to tinker with things they don’t understand.

And is anyone surprised by Al Gore  taking money from Dow Chemical?  You shouldn’t be;   his interest in greenness stems wholly from his interest in being rich and powerful,  which is why he is pushing for cap and trade legislation.   Meanwhile,  the UN is still pushing for  climate change action.

All a-twitter…

His Oneness has invited Twitter co-founder and CEO Ev Williams to a “young business leaders” summit to discuss the economic crises.

With 6 million members and 700% plus growth, Twitter makes NO money in the US.    This apparently fits in with Obama’s economic model, which has thus far resulted in:

unemployment at 25 year high;

a record 38.1 million on food stamps;

and the fastest Dow decline for a new president in nearly a century.

At this point, you shudder to imagine what other records His Oneness is going to achieve in his first 100 days!
