from neil gaiman's online journal:

If you spend your life sueing newspapers for libel on behalf of others for fun and profit, do not be surprised if, when your life is over, and you can no longer sue for libel, your newspaper obituary is less than glowing:

Cowboy, Chucky, Donny or whatever your name is, it is probably fairer to compare year end closings from 2000 to the present, taking in all the Bush years. The Dow closed at $10,786 and change. There is still away to go to even during the Bush years.

Unfair? Maybe, but the economy is the economy. :-)

Okay, so Bobk can't type worth a damn. But, he does know his way around the financials.
