I believe in the last two days the world has been turned into something quite unlike itself. Sweden (that's right Socialist, pinko Sweden) has refused to buy Saab, trade barriers are being tightened during these "hard" economic times, Paul Krugman said something with which I actually agree (that is, "cash for trash" is a terrible idea), it has been suggested that 90%! tax be levied against the AIG bonuses, and a girl who was unconstitutionally and unethically strip searched when she was 13 years old is now finally having her day in court nearly 6 years after the fact, while this same court apparently had plenty of time to review "Hillary: The Movie."

It was said most eloquently by Samuel Beckett, "The tears of the world are a constant quality. For each one who begins to weep, somewhere another stops. The same is true of the laugh." I am sure someone, somewhere is laughing it up, while the rest of us are weeping our eyes out: this is not the world we signed up for.

These facts become all the more crippling when we realize how little there is we can do about them. It is sad to say that the most hopeful thing I have heard all week is when Mike, our treasurer, ask "So when's our bomb making meeting again?" Many people even think its gotten as bad as that, even Chuck Norris believes a full scale revolution is right around the corner.

Yea, this definitely isn't the world I fell asleep in last night. What happened?
