I have a question about that 'fat finger' and the Wall Street ride:

Was it Cheney's or one of his minions?

:whatever:

I had been thinking about selling when the DOW got somewhere between or around 11,200 and 11,500....well, as always when I think about selling something....the bottom falls out.

...and Mr. Cheney did not call on me to cause the fall.

The Little Goon will start out by spouting out about five sputtered lies that you can easily dismiss away with they truth. Soon your exchange will end with a lot of spit flying and screaming (in order to drown you out) of "Racist! Racist! Racist!".

Why sure he was. You know Cheney was standing right there behind the guy and pushed his hand down and forced the error. Sheese even a non-DUmmie like me can figure that out.

The whole thing does sort of make you wonder if someone,knowing he had that much power would "fat finger" a key and make a killing from the resulting dive.....

I hope that that someone and all his friends and relatives are being looked into for a sudden influx of cash.
