republicans blame democrats, and vice versa — myself, i’m just glad that they weren’t as lame as the post-911 congress. they didn’t let the executive branch tell them what to do. now, i’m all for fixing the markets, and even profit taking by opportunistic investors…but paulson et all just seem way too shady — we need some checks and balances. kudos to congress. they’ll tweak it, maybe even get rid of some capital gains taxes(hooray), and hopefully put in some other things that are ideal for those of us who are liquid and ready to take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves in the not so distant future. i’m stoked. you should be too — unless you have a ton of cash tied up in the market — in that case, you should have known better. seriously.

another early day. another 6am spin class. i can’t pick a song of the day just yet — my head is filled will all of those pop house tracks that fitness instructors love…give me some time to get them out of my head. i’m tempted to post one…but i won’t.
