I'd guess, that for some element of our society, it's all their mental abilities can focus on, much like reading those rag tabloids that boast unverified gossip about public figures.<br /><br />And, the media "analysts" are nothing more than a group of blowhards putting out their personal issues on any given situation, to create an element of public hysteria, nothing more! Other than having their faces plastered on a screen or in a news column, what credentials do most of possess that renders them authoritative figures on any news item? Even the so called "lawyers" employed by the big networks got blown out of the legal waters after the Anthony trial came to its disgusting halt.<br /><br />Regarding the circus-like atmosphere and behaviors in Washington D.C., I won't add to your headache except to say listen...off in the distance, there's the sound of nails being driven into the coffins of many of those political rapists. With each action, or lack thereof, with every meaningless statement that they spew forth, the end to their total mismanagement and destruction of this economy, is getting closer. Will we survive until after the 2012 elections? That's the terrifying part!<br /><br />Regarding the stock market, all we can do is hang on...tightly. It's been a bumpy ride since 2007 and it won't be over for a while. Panic paves the way for more loss; as you said, hold on to investments and ride this correction out.<br /><br />Verizon...a reprehensible situation for all those ever employed here who trusted in this company. It's time for all of these corporate big-wigs to be given a dose of reality and have what they feel is their "entitlement" drastically reduced. Where did they get the idea that they could act like politicians, anyway?<br /><br />Will keep the important people at Verizon in my prayers..corporate can suck wind!Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00983686239033756332noreply@blogger.com
