I'm mad as hell and won't take it anymore!
Not sure what these cowards, who have nothing better to do with their guns and munitions than to come out and commit such heinous murder against innocent civilians, want to accomplish. They just end up proving, yet again, that they are indeed cowards!
If they want to look for "westerners", I suggest they go on a proper battlefield and fight like real men. And stop, once and for all, killing innocent civilians.
Peace on Earth!

Dow Jones Index should be renamed Rise! Index
They say the Wall Street does not like uncertainty, etc. I say, "What a crock!"
Back in October, the market was in an "uncertainty" due to the upcoming November presidential elections. Obama got elected and "analysts" started saying, "OK, we got the election out of the way... Now the Wall Street shall focus on the economy..." Great!
Well... How come the traders on the Street were NOT focusing on the economy BEFORE the election? I mean, if you have been going to work before the election, your boss expects you to focus on your work, doesn't he? Yeah sure you can take the morning off on the day of the election - to vote of course - but other than that you pretty much have to "go to work", right? Americans work hard and don't ever give excuses such as "Well I am uncertain these days... So I will just stop working hard", etc. No! We will be out of work if we start thinking like that. But, it seems the Wall Street, while working with our hard-earned retirement money seems to do just that: take days, weeks and months off just because they feel "uncertain" or "afraid".
Once the election was over, the folks on the Wall Street - now quite certain who the next President of the United States would be - still managed to slide to new lows in record speed! They started saying, "Well we are not certain who the treasury secretary will be! So we slide..."
What???! You are going to refuse to buy just because you can't figure out the name of the next treasury secretary? Even though you are absolutely sure it will NOT be "Paulson"?
What gives? I am not sure I understand these fellas. And I wonder if we should stop calling them Bulls and Bears (Bullish and Bearish) and start calling them Chickens and Turkeys: You know what I mean? So, we go like, "Ladies and gentlemen, the market was 'Turkish' today" (to indicate its was cold as a turkey and "gobbled" up our 401k savings) or "The market rallied in a Chicken Run fashion!", etc., etc..
Well if that is too far fetched, how about this: The word "Dow" seems to have "Down" connotations to it - esp. in the last few months. I suggest we change the name "Dow Jones Industrial Average" to something like "Rise Index".
May be, just may be, bearing a more positive-sounding name will cause a Chicken Run... err... a Bullish market!
