Thank God it's the weekend, all right, because that was the week that sucked. Time for the financial markets' dizzying death dive (Slaughtergate?) to take a breather, while we take inventory of the wreckage. Is there a patron saint for lost portfolios? No, we need to go right to the top on this one. A dose of divine intervention -- an awakening of McCain combined with an unmasking of Obama -- couldn't hurt right now.

As the abomination of an Obama nation appears more and more likely, is there anything to look forward to? Here's a hopeful thought: A special prosecutor is named to investigate the principals in the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac debacles, among others, resulting in the indictment, prosecution, and conviction of the dishonorable disgraces Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, and their smug mugs are at last removed from our sight. Yeah . . . I feel better already.
