Rome is burning and as I write this entry, it has just been announced that the $700 billion bail-out plan has been rejected. Wall Street is not going to be saved by the American Tax-payer - at least not under those terms and at closing, the impact was evident as the bell didn't ring - it tolled, 777 points being wiped off the share price. Cataclysmic Stuff, huh?
So, is the brief candle out? Will there be any more frutting and stretting. One thing is for sure. The poor player's hour is well and truly up. The lame duck President continues to hobble and everybody knows his tale never signified anything. He lied to his people over and over again and his reign will go down in history as a most shameful period for the US. November is creeping closer and the world is becoming a bleaker, more Beckettian landscape. Exit George Bush Junior. Enter The Four Horses of the Apocalypse.
