You got it -- one last chance to mark up the inventory and offload it onto the suckers before all the bids disappear, with the added bonus of spinning it afterward that a Dem victory is "the reason" JSP's port got whacked

Mike: Gridlock is preferred over arrogant and stupid action. There is now a small chance that we will seek to redefine our goals in Iraq, declare victory in the midst of an obvious defeat and try to leave before the civil war gets too hot. What so many here and in the rest of the US seem to miss is that the US is no longer THE economic story in the world -- important, yes -- messed up, absolutely -- but the real story now is global growth and in that story we are but one of several forces. Our economy will stagnate. Our housing prices will make us look like fools. Our financial policies will make us look like morons. But in the end, the world will continue on its merry way, and markets will reflect those opportunities as surely as they will reflect our arrogance and stupidity, as somebody recently put it so nicely. Bottom line -- look beyond our shores to understand global companies in gloabl markets.
