Not Sure What Category This Falls Under...

So, I figured I would just hit one of the 'default' buttons that I see every day. I clicked on the 'Next Blog' button in the Blogger banner on top of the page. It took me 9 clicks of that button to finally arrive at a site that was aimed at English speaking visitors. I will be checking this out again and will have to report back with my findings. If you have had a similar experience, please comment. Like I said, I'm not sure what it means, or even who cares, but I found it quirky enough to post about.

    This is all pretty crazy stuff that I'm reading. The Dow dropped like 800 points over the course of the day. It is currently closed on the day with a loss of 370 points. Oil has hit $88 a barrel. European markets are in turmoil. And all this is due to 10% of the loans given out? Enough money squandered to drop financial giants to their knees.

The @#&$%!* IDIOTS who approved this method of lending need to be held TOTALLY responsible for this upheaval. So the question remains... Who has the balls big enough to hold these IDIOTS to the stake and nail them to it? Who?
