So ...:You Thought IT couldn't get messier(uh, more messy?)

How about that voting on the Bail-Out ( oh excuse me, Rescue) bill today?

Who would have "thunk" it?

W's blank bullets aren't accomplishing the hi-jacking of the legislative chambers of our government. For far too long, he has held the gun to heads of Congress, demanding that his bills concocted by corporatists must be passed post haste -- or else. And now his own party has shown its serious concern about how they will ever survive the upcoming elections. Boo Hoo. So they pretend to be so mortally offended by Nancy Pelosi that they just can't bring the country's catastrophic avalanche down that slippery slope leading to economic collapse to a halt.

Chalk up another disaster for George W Bush.......what is amazing is how many were blind to where we had been headed the last eight years.

The McCain antics in all this too, begs for an award defining surreal. It reveals seriously flawed judgement, as does the choice of Palin.

Meanwhile we all have our personal fallouts to contend with, in my case I have been sparring with the former A.G. Edwards about their sell-out to Wachovia all this past summer so the news this morning raises my level of concern. My IRA account and trust account have been at Edwards for a couple of decades. When Wachovia bought them out I was shocked, feeling it was a decision that showed no concern for clients and that due diligence was not applied. I felt some of the changes being initiated in order to sweep all cash not invested in equities, strong-arming tactics -- into banks that Wachovia had acquired over the years of their morphing into a monster corporation, you see I owned shares way back when .....before the greed became too great. I can't recall exactly when I unloaded them from my portfolio but I felt their acquisitiveness had exceeded reasonableness and after the merge with Edwards, if what they were imposing wasn't illegal, it should have been. I feel I am living in limbo......I have reviewed various choices for removing my account to another entity, which is like rolling dice in the present turmoil ----no Las Vegas type risks for me, not at my age.
