The DOW Is Currently Up...

[Median Democrat]

Reading the tea leaves, and the entrails of small furry animals, the Financial News media attributes this rise to the fact that Rush Limbaugh must have broken wind.

The Financial News media further attributes any future drops in the DOW to the lack of specificity in Obama's (blank to be filled in later) plan or proposal.

That is all.

1. Puppy plan....

..... investors aren't pleased with the potential dog selection. They were banking on a labradoodle.

2. The DOW Went Up 100 Points During Obama's Speech, But...

I am sure that if it finishes down, the financial news media will blame Obama's speech, rather than the plethora of economic indicators that are just confirming that we are in a bad recession. Or, perhaps they will blame the expiration of the Bush tax cuts, which is actually old news.

BTW Here is a financial news media type saying that investing in alternative energy is not profitable:

Of course, there are a lot of contrary analysis and reports discussing how the pursuit of alternative energy can be profitable. Heck, Thomas Friedman only wrote a bestseling book on it.

Yup, the media is really liberal...
