I Feel like Steve Buscemi in Armageddon ...

"It's all wrong, man. We should even be up here!"

"Guys, it's time to embrace the horror. Look, we've got front row tickets to the end of the earth."

"Wow, this is a goddamn Greek tragedy."

Realistically, it's not quite that bad yet, but damn. We've got an economic disaster of epic proportions staring us straight in the face, and our Congress-critters seem most concerned with who gets the blame for it.

When I was young, I always wondered with a kind of awe what it must have been like to live through all those times I read about in the history books. Then came the Iranian hostage crisis, the Challenger, the Gulf War, 9/11, the Iraq War ... now this. I am no longer in awe. I just wanna go home.

11. As long as you don't feel like Steve Buscemi in "Fargo"

or "the Sopranos"

[RoyGBiv]

12. Yeah, that would suck a lot ...

Funniest black comedy scene ever, I think. I just couldn't get over the hilarious horror of that foot bouncing around and the dumbass look on his cohort's face.

14. It is ridiculous and all the top economists say so. In fact Congress own Budget Office says the

bailout could make things worse.

So let's throw good money after bad.

[RoyGBiv]

16. Did I mention a bailout?

No, I didn't.

Our economy is tanking. If you choose not to acknowledge that, heaven help you.
