What was unimagineable yesterday is today's reality. Up is down and red is green, and the rabbit hole Alice fell down has become a corporate suite. ‘Perfect storm’ is an over-used cliche’, but never more applicable than now.

Thanks Bill for more reinforcement.

And much previously said also true. That's why America needs a real authentic true economic depression. It needs one real bad. To last until 2010. Because at this point 90% of the crap is still around. So much more crap need to be flushed down the toilet. The real 'hope' will not come from Obama, but when 90% of the toxins that have poisoned American society are removed. Then Obama, if he is smart, will stand up and take credit. Bill, all true. And much previously said also true.

Their CEO has announced, in bracing for the downturn, to cut his salary in 09 to below $10,000...down from the $1.2MM he was compensated a year ago. Make it the regular coffee though, that which is still relatively affordable amongst their product line! Enjoyed the Madoff article by the way. Hey Bill,
