TANKED!

That's the word of the day. Why? Because the US pretty much made history today. The Bailout Plan failed in the House of Representatives. Granted, it was a seriously flawed plan, but it was an option. Still, it got intensely heated, and thus, the 228 No - 205 Yes result. There's gonna be lots of scrambling this week. The (already slumping) stock market practically tanked immediately following that decision, closing at -777. That's lower than 9/11, and a record for a single day of trading. The global financial markets just had a meltdown. In other related news, Wachovia has also been picked up by Citigroup, making it the latest and largest banking casualty. Oh, and there's a not-so-hot stirring at my job.

Dontcha love Mondays? I know ya do.
