Another Trillion Down the Drain--Maybe Two

The Dow Jones lost 679 points today to close at 8600. But I remember the glory days of the Clinton administration when there were predictions of Dow 36,000 in the air. I feel a nostalgic little tingle just thinking about that number--Dow 36,000.

Speaking of nostalgia, here's some lyrics from Mary Hopkins' "Those were the Days."

Those Were the Days
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way

La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La La

Or something like that.
