My family and I have one pet. It is a female beta fish that my 2 year old named Diego. Obviously, this fish was named after his favorite show Go, Diego Go! I was looking at it this morning and I found myself pondering the existence of a pet fish. Especially a lone, antisocial fish like a beta. Even if we wanted to give poor Diego a friend, betas are so territorial that the other fish would be dead within a matter of minutes. Now, I don't have any grand metaphor for how being a single fish in a fishbowl is like life in some way. I just came to the conclusion that I would be a very depressed fish and probably in need of some Prozac flakes.

I noticed that conservatives immediately jumped on the "Wall Street is clearly showing no confidence in Obama's election victory because the DOW dropped again in the two days following the election" bandwagon as if the stock market has been the picture of stability these past few months. It's interesting to think that Obama has that kind of power already and he hasn't even taken office yet. Imagine what he will do when he is able to harness the power and use it for good. Look, I think that we should at least give the president elect his fair share of time in office to screw up the country beyond repair before we start blaming him for things that are out of his hands.

Hey Greg I didn't see these blogs so here is my reply. Regarding Wall Street, they speculate what is going to happen 8-9 months down the road, that is why the market experienced its worst post election drop in history. It is because of Obama and the uncertainty of what he is going to do regarding taxes. Also, I think the fact that you are commenting on Hall and Oates creeps me out a little.... :P
