Oh, for goodness sake. Here is what the Virginia GOP has been circulating in the mail. If this doesn't speak of wild desperation and scorched earth values, nothing can give it voice. Daffy Duck: "It's Dethpicable!"
The obvious point is for suspicious voters to blend their remembered image of Barack Obama into an altered image of Osama bin Laden. Note that The Evil One (Osama, for those keeping score) has had his visage photoshopped so there is no longer beard, mustache or turban. Not even Arabic skin color. Instead... gosh... it looks like Obama!!
The Virginia GOP is really pathetic to put garbage like this out there. This is the same group whose leader rallied the troops this weekend by telling them to remind voters that Obama and Osama "both have friends who bombed the Pentagon." This is the same state GOP whose standard bearer is losing the Senate race by 30 points!! They are truly a bunch of lost souls. It's no wonder Virginia is becoming an Obama Blue state.
On to the Economy and our diminishing returns... here is how it all plays out for the savvy investor:
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you have $49.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you have $0.00 today.
But . . . if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.

And what better way to battle past the blues than to experience The Neville Brothers, live at the 1991 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival:
The Quote of the Day:
"It took a deadly illness to put me eye to eye with that truth, but it is a truth that the country, caught up in its ruthless ambitions and moral decay, can learn on my dime." -- the late Lee Atwater, before handing the reins over to Karl Rove, who didn't learn.
