Abandon your posts! Flee, flee for your lives!

The Dow continues to plunge down the rabbit hole, losing 333 points in morning trading. AIG will get the government bailout that Lehman Brothers didn't get. In the meantime, Barkley's is picking at the helpless body of Lehman Brothers like a vulture. There are some good suggestions about how to fix this mess for the future. Unfortunately that body responsible for fixing this mess is Congress. Like a bunch of Wagnerian sopranos, they're preparing to think about staging a dramatic entrance (translation: we're not doing anything of substance in a presidential election season that might give our opposition an advantage) into this mess. They are also considering legislation to execute a Chesire cat.
