The kind of thing I really don't want to read in the newspaper:

As Senator Christopher J. Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut and chairman of the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, put it Friday morning on the ABC program “Good Morning America,” the congressional leaders were told “that we’re literally maybe days away from a complete meltdown of our financial system, with all the implications here at home and globally.”

Yikes.

But is it time to start withdrawing cash and stockpiling soup cans? What say you, oh mighty f-list?

Actually, it seems like today's at-a-glance news is more optimistic: http://money.aol.com/news/articles/_a/bbdp/dow-soars-as-investors-await-rescue-plan/175524; http://money.aol.com/news/articles/_a/bbdp/historic-week-on-wall-street-a-recap/181452. Not good, certainly, but construction of the Thunderdome can probably go on hold for the time being.
