THEY WERE BEGGING FOR THIS RESULT

So the House doesn't pass the bailout. Big surprise... this isn't the Senate. It's the House and it's full of nutcases like Darrell Issa who apparently said of the bailout it would betray party principles and amount to “a coffin on top of Ronald Reagan’s coffin.”

Huh?

And you better believe that Ronald Reagan would have been first to bailout his buddies to save the market system. Not that this will save it, but you know what I mean.

I mean, I'm not big on the bill. It seems like a hail-mary more than a well-planned- pass. But what else is there right now? Let it go and let the market decide even if it decides to freeze up sending us into a new era of dance marathons, Oakies and apple carts?

Jeez, what a mess.

Still, let's hope that this forces Congress do some work and come up with something better than "turn over the government to Hank Paulson."
