Horror

If you look horror up on google images, this is the first picture that is shown. Just in case you were feeling horrified because our economy is going to die and everything we have ever known is going to die! 

I personally am very happy that the bailout plan pushed by all the powers that be did not pass. We love our horror films, like the pictures above. We love getting scared and clinging to our friends in that moment. You know who knows we love getting scared? CNN, NY Times, etc. They love to get us all riled up and freaked out; they love us looking like emo guy top right. We love watching about how scary everything is, so they freak us out. That is why I was so scared the bailout plan was going to pass.

It was only a couple of days after the economic crisis had happened and all of the sudden some guy named Paulson told us that he needed to be in charge of 700 billion dollars going to save the big corporations. Then Bush got up and told everybody we needed to stand behind this bill, much like he told us to get behind the Patriot Act after 911 when we were filled with horror. To each his own, but the Patriot Act scares me and so does this bailout plan. 

It was pretty interesting that the representatives voting against the bill tended to be either really far left or really far right, and the heads of the parties and the president all wanted the bill to pass. I am glad that our representatives are going to take some time to better work out this bill. It does not seem like something to rush in two days. Once it happens, you don't just take it back. 

Anyways, we should be writing our representatives to tell them how proud we are of them, or not proud of them if you really wanted the bill to pass. 

In other news, Our intramural football team won another game. We are 2-1 now but our defense is yet to be scored upon. (We lost the first game 2-0 on a safety, yeah it sucks)
