Two presidents, two economics crises, two quotes... you choose.

QOTD Obama
"It is only government that can break the vicious cycle where lost jobs lead to people spending less money which leads to even more layoffs. And breaking that cycle is exactly what the plan that's moving through Congress is designed to do."
- Pres Barack Obama, Feb 2009
QOTD Reagan
"In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price."
- Pres Ronald Reagan, Jan 1981
And the dream team spit the bit today... Geithner wasn't ready with the Treasury bailout details, and the market took a 5% hit. Doesn't everyone know these guys are the smartest people in the room?

Enough already... I'm typing from the floor of my office, on my "old" XP machine.

And the "new" boat anchor Vista machine I just bought sits on my desk, unable to connect to the flippin' internet.

The last piece of advice Dell gave me was to contact their pay support line. Pay Dell to get their boat anchor working on a vanilla cable modem. Not with my money!

I wonder if Dell will finally push this old horse to Mac-land.
Stay tuned.
peace... yow, bill
