Long Live the King!

Happy Sunday morning, everyone. I got up with a sick feeling in my stomach. The zeitgeist about putting a crown on Paulson's corrupt, bald head is pretty bad out there. I wonder to myself if the populist backlash is enough to throw a monkey wrench into plans for the "bailout." I don't have a lot of faith in the intelligence of the population as a whole (in spite of Bush's assurances they they are, in his words, "plenty smart"), but this is one time I'd appreciate God inspiring a few million people to get in touch with their freakin' representatives. I will, naive as it may sound.

My intention to read the thousands (literally) of comments posted here over the past week continues to be unfilled. But I need to give you guys a few decent charts first. Later today.
