Put on Your Rally Caps...We're Heading for Victory

It seems like all those wacky investors are "drinking the punch," and worse yet, they're liking it! The Dow has been up over 100 points this morning. How is this possible? Well, ADP came out with a surprisingly happy employment report stating that the private sector as created 9,000 jobs this month. Maybe I'm a simpleton or possibly just a Debbie Downer, but it seems to me with the plethora of layoffs in the news, including the 15% job cuts announced by GM today, we are still waaayyyy in the red.

But never fear, the FED IS HERE! Yes, they have become quite the wily Super-Hero as of late by once again extending their emergency borrowing program to Wall Street Banks. I might try to pick up some extra funds by designing Bernanke a fun super-hero uniform, complete with a utility belt. Of course it would be flashy and green (for money), and would have one side with black stripes for when things are good, and the other side with red for when things are going down. He will be able to shoot lightening bolts from one sleeve to tell people to be more responsible and realistic with their funds, and sprinkle glitter from the other arm to let us know when it is time to start singing, "Let the Good Times Roll," again. Yes, this is clearly what we need to move forward in this country. Screw hope & change, I vote for CAPTAIN FED! Seriously folks, I feel that we are living in a cartoon world these days where people just say & do with no basis on fact. Normally this type of behavior would not bother me, but when it effects the world at large and people's opinions of their current state, we all might as well dress up as super-heroes and at least have some fun!

Since it seems as though I am on a bit of a rampage today, let's just go ahead and turn to the Hollywood Minute, shall we? The only thing I have to look forward to these days is the return of the new 90210! Can you even believe it? But it does get better....they are bringing back Brenda Walsh & Kelly Taylor!!!!!! Dylan McKay turned down initial offers, but I bet he will be back in no time, along with the lovable Steve Sanders and the super cute Brandon Walsh. It's simply too much!
