Yes it would help if politicians would quit spinning that we are in a democracy. We live in or are supposed to live in a Republic---not a democracy. And after what I have seen, I like the republic a lot more than a pure democracy for a lot of obvious reasons. Truth

Good News/Bad News First the bad: from an article in today's WSJ by Paul Sherer and Jason Sapsford about the tightening credit situation: First the bad news: <<At Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., corporate-bond strategist Steven A. Zamsky agrees it is "premature to say we are in the middle of a full-blown credit crunch" but adds that "that description would be a fair representation of what is already happening in parts of the market.">> Now the good (for SFY longs, anyway): <<A sharp line has been drawn between the corporate haves and have-nots. Companies that have strong credit ratings or are in sectors currently in favor can still get plenty of money. At oil-driller Swift Energy Co., Chief Financial Officer Alton Heckaman gets a constant stream of cold calls from bankers and investment bankers offering to arrange financing. "From a standpoint of credit, we've actually seen quite an improvement in our sector over the past nine to 12 months," he says.>>
