Wow, it's grim working in the heart of the financial district right now. I haven't felt this kind of concentrated dread since SOMA circa 2001. I wonder if the brokers are going to start flinging themselves out of their windows soon so I can break into the most blackly comedic rendition of "Its Raining Men" ever. Just remember:
"I think still -- the fundamentals of our economy are strong." - John McCain, Sept. 15, 2008
"The fundamental business of the country, that is the production and distribution of commodities, is on a sound and prosperous basis." - Herbert Hoover , Oct. 25, 1929
