I've set my snooze alarm to "the end of the begining" so's I can then get back to work.

Who'll herald the new beginning? Look to the heralds we have had recently. George Gilder, Jim Rogers, Johm Chambers, George Soros. All taken -by the MQ's of this world as "great" minds just to be proved wrong six months hence.

Have you seen Davos political jamboree?

Have you not heard about the end of history and a deafening silence about new beginning of anything to replace it?

I am seating down here surveying the landscape and I do not see anything that could be a sign of a new beginning. I have kept my eyes wide opend for over two decades and certainly see the signs of the end all over the place but no sign of anything that can be taken as a beginning.

Amid Wall Street’s woes,sales slump by 27%, failing American carmakers land a huge subsidy.
...
A recent study by the Cato Institute, a right-wing think-tank, found that the federal government spent some $92 billion subsidising business in 2006 alone. Only $21 billion of that went to farmers: much of the rest went to firms such as Boeing, IBM and GE in the form of export-credit support and various research subsidies.
