A man did the math and reasoned that if you'd bought $1000 of AIG stock last year it'd be worth $2.15 today, along with other such examples. However, if you'd bought $1000 worth of beer and turned the bottles in for recycling, you'd have $230 instead. Much sounder investment...

You know, sheep, goats....but would he be able to hire Scandinavians to clean the dung?

Yes, the good professor is opposed to the bailout. Do you actually think that Loud Dobbs would permit an opposing view? Mike:

Is he a U Chicago type who signed the petition against the bailout? Or is he going to get screamed at? And by the way, I would probably be voting against it myself, were I in Congress, but for different reasons, no doubt, than Lou.
