Campbell's Soups stock rose today

I've been sick over the weekend and didn't even go into work today with a 103 temperature.
I don't which made me sicker, my 103 temperature or the 777 point drop in the Dow Jones.


On a positive note, Campbell's Soups stock rose today, as the prospect of soup kitchens opening across America comes closer to a morbid reality because of the failure of the house of representatives to pass a bill.


Since I was home with the flue anyway, I got to sit right in front of my TV and watch it all live.


By far, the best exchanges came from the House Representatives.


Soon after the failed vote, Republican Representatives held a press conference and Roy Blunt (R., Mo.) and Rep. Eric Cantor (R., Va.) holding up a copy of what he said was Pelosi's floor remarks - said they had 12 Republicans who would have voted for the bill but changed their minds because of what Pelosi said.


later Rep Barney Frank (D, Ma.) responded, "Give me those 12 people's names and I will go talk uncharacteristically nicely to them and tell them what wonderful people they are and maybe they'll now think about the country."


Wow. That's awesome. Who needs SNL or Letterman, when we have such outstanding comedians in government.
Enjoy the news,
