Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

What version are you on?

I'm not on it anymore. All the lawfirms eventually succumed to the Word juggernaut.

What happened? Did Henry Paulson sneeze?

It looks like the bailout didn't pass in the House.

Wow, that was WordPerfect's life line.

I've pretty much moved to .txt, but it's not like I'm worried about intricate formatting these days.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

From what I gather it may yet pass. However: even the NY Times story that you pointed to acknowledged that the results might not be as dire as many said. (In the very last paragraphs.) More to the point we don't have buy the Panic!Panic!Panic! Move Now!Now!Now! The Bush administration has said they intend to spend about 30 billion a month. So call a special session for October 14, and give them 32 billion under the terms of the current proposal to use until then. In the meantime, hold hearings to design a new proposal from scratch rather than just modifying the garbage exclusively designed by current and former Goldman Sachs executives.
