On three, everybody panic! 1 ... 2 ... YAAA! (

As you know, we are in a big flap, because it turns out the state of Florida invested a lot of our money in yak dung.
Hah! Just kidding. Got to keep a sense of humor, right?
(Long silence.)
Oh. Okay. No humor, then....
Was our money invested by idiots? Do we have another Enron on our hands? Is this why that guy in charge suddenly resigned this week?
I dunno. There are some smart folks out there who say that the state should have been steering away from these investments....
This is not as much fun as panicking, I realize. It is more fun to use words like "disaster" and "debacle." I will be curious to see whether the Legislature rushes forward to "fix" this, just as it "fixed" our insurance and taxes.
In fact, if you have a bent toward conspiracy, I would be wary now of attempts to hijack the whole honey-pot and turn it over to Wall Street. Did I mention that the fees charged by the state are ridiculously low?
:wtf: :argh: :grr: :shrug: :wow:
