Thanks to the house republicans (well, 133 of them and 95 Democrats), the bailout bill didn't pass. Because of that the market dropped the most it has in history. What is wrong with this country? We are so fucked. Obama is up in the polls. Things may calm down and get back on track once he gets in office.
On another note, my mom is doing much better today and got her rental car. They still haven't decided if her car will be totaled or not. I think she'll know more tomorrow.
