"Meanwhile, like Nero, inode plays his ridiculous violin."

Bagpipes. Nero played bagpipes. Which is a better analogy, i-node is trying to drown out everything with his cacophony...

Meanwhile, like Nero, inode plays his ridiculous violin. He foolishly thinks that by underplaying economic debacle, he will strenghthen the Rs and bring down the Dems. What a silly man.

Exactly.

Instead what he's doing (well not him, he's meaningless, but the people he gets his talking points from) is reinforcing just how out of touch and unfit to lead Republicans have become.

They're still trying to take FDR down a few pegs. How much more out of touch can a group be?

The entire global financial system was on the brink of collapse.

Somebody, some day is going to write a very interesting book about that brief time period. Maybe Woodward? And it will clearly explain what was about to happen... probably make a great movie except the characters... Paulson and Bernake are not exactly superman material.

But people will wake up to what almost happened. It will be an eyeopener.
