HUMPTY DUMPTY

I'm currently in Switzerland shooting an episode of YOU CAN'T TAKE THEM ANYWHERE. After a long day of hiking and wine tasting I returned to my room and turned on CNN. The stock market was just closing and the news announced that the Bailout Bill did not pass. Then I thought to myself since I'm watching foreign news I wonder how the International Media is going to interpret this event?

Then two correspondents gave their feedback and said two awesome things that I wanted to share with you.

The first correspondent compared the US economic system to Humpty Dumpy. Saying, "Humpty had a great fall. Now who will put Humpty Dumpty back together again?"

The second correspondent said. "This is as if the US economy has pancreatic cancer."

I think I'm going to chill in Switzerland a little bit longer...

the economic crisis started hitting europe hard today. the austrian stock exchange in vienna lost a total of 8 points, that's the second biggest loss ever :( *panic all around*. I'm thinking switzerland isn't going to go unaffected by this either. but have fun chilling anyways :)

btw: rachel maddow used a great metaphor for the economic bailout as well - kids and candy at halloween (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjAKPutvMjM)

Yikes...I was in Colorado Springs (aka...the HOTBED of BIGOTRY) for the day doing a consulting gig...and didn't hear about the failure of the bill and the resulting stock market dive...it IS H.D. falling. I'd stayed in Switzerland too, but avoid the Swiss banks for now...
