Saw this at the Albertsons in Lake Forest Park, down the hill from my house, displayed prominently on the bookshelves by the checkout stands:


Complete Idiot's Guide



Still Complete Idiots


It's not really the usual market for this kind of thing. I've been hearing about a lot of religious revivalism on Wall Street amoungst the traders, too.

Mr. Bush signed the bill almost immediately after passage. The equities markets peaked today right as the House started to vote on this bailout. The Dow then proceeded to fall 470.88 points from that high as the bill passed and into the rest of the afternoon to close.

I don't think that's a vote of confidence.

I must have it

Michael saw this and had to buy one. It's in the bathroom. I think that's a commentary.

Thanks!! I did get a great 'national gift' about 14 years ago- The OJ Simpson's trial ended. Regardless of verdict, it finally just ENDED!! :D :D No more of that trial on the news, back to regularly viewing programs! :D

Happy birthday!

Everything old is new again, by the way. The most recent OJ Simpson trial ended today, with a conviction!

bah. :P At least it wasn't plastered on the news.

Would he have been in this much trouble if he brought a squirt gun?

Check out the forums at RaptureReady.com sometimes, they're a lot of fun along these lines. Crazy crazy talk.

We sell that at my work -- I considered picking it up, ironically.
