I heard an unattributed quote - regarding the current financial situation - this morning on the radio: "It's too late to panic, so you might as well stay calm and look for...

First, a clarification. My prediction that McCain will win was NOT an endorsement. I was surprised at the reaction to my last posting...(as did my dislike of Rachel Ray!)...
I remember watching a Daily Show episode where they "called the election" months and months before election day. I'm ready to do the same: McCain will be our next...
I find Rachel Ray annoying. Nonetheless, I always favor Dunkin Donuts to Starbucks. Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Ray is the DD celebrity...
