Change the subject

I know we at REL said that the crisis had blown all other news of the agenda, but this morning and all of today, the financial catastophe (if that's what it is) has slipped down the agenda. The MSM nozzles I frequent have all dropped the story from their headlines. The bailout passage has been built up as a line drawn under it. 'Juicier' news has been presented. The OJ trial is a classic diversion. Next week will be tumultuos. The MSM's message this w/e, though, is 'Remain calm. All is well.'

Either they are right or things are about to get really out of control. My bet is on the latter.
