At the same time!.. How the hell are they going to do this, hmmm?

The media is going to go into a very funny double twist today while they simultaneously try to scare us into thinking that not passing the bailout bill as written will lead us to personal financial armageddons for all.

and

They are also going to exhort investors to NOT sell their stocks in order to stave off a genuine market meltdown. (Don't sell, everything will work out somehow)

I personally think this is a good time for a genuine reform bill, with real regulatory teeth and legal, binding oversight, and actual laws that will actually be, you know, PROSECUTED by a strongly re-juiced and re-energized SEC. Lets see what our intrepid, over-compromised legislators come up with.
