Daniel,

The whole thing is a big diversion. It occupies the same psychological space as the Simpson trial.

I said essentially the same thing to a co-worker today.

America today may be summed up in this golden-oldie:

"Two things only the people anxiously desire, Bread and the Circus games." -- Juvenal (40-125), Roman satirical poet. Satires, Satire 10.

Bread = stock market; Circus = Clinton (for now).

Regarding Clinton's confession and the predictable, tiresome, self-righteousness reaction to it, a minor modification to a line from Casablanca comes to mind -- the one where the local chief of police (Claude Rains) feigns surprise at the existence of gambling going on at Rick's Place in order to have a pre-text for closing it down at his convenience:

I'm SHOCKED -- SHOCKED that there's lying going on here!
