So, are we having this big drama because China cut Walmart off?

[SmileyRose]

or is it because McPalin have been proven to be incompetent idiots?

or is it purely to create a crisis for McCain to boldly lead us through?

or is it merely to drop the Veep debate?

or did space aliens finally eat the last of Bush's brain?

Whatever it is, I can tell you this, it's ISN'T because Bushco is really really really really worried about Americans ending up in bread lines. That right there is one heck of a knee slapper.

1. I go with all the above

Except the last one, Bush never had brain!

2. That's true. What he does care about is power. It's all a political game to him.

3. No, they are threatening to cut off our debt financing.

They can pull the plug. That sends panic through Washington.
