Bush raises eyebrows with stock market comment

US President George Bush has made an unguarded comment at a Houston fundraiser.
Bush was addressing a crowd in a private home when he said: "There is no question about it. Wall Street got drunk and now it's got a hangover".
He went on to say: "The question is, How long will it take to sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments?"
White House spokesman Tony Fratto said Bush simply was describing the stock market as a place which deals with complex financial instruments, "and it's clear to everyone that the markets didn't fully understand the risk those instruments posed."

Reading the 12:41pm Post Brought back a long forgotten story!
I used to watch an old woman pour water on part of her sidewalk in the winter time, forming a patch of ice.
It was a mystery for some years.
Then one night when a bathroom call woke me, I was just returning to bed, when I heard a lot of cursing going on outside.
Investigating, I saw on old drunk laying on his back peeing up in the air and subsequently on himself, cursing the god that created winter and ice!
A week later the act was repeated! And the next week also.
Later and in the summer while cutting the old woman’s grass I found out the old druck always had to stop about half way home to piss, and he stood leaning against her post. The regular pissing left an odor, and she was getting her revenge!
