Whoopie, the Dow closed at 13,000 yesterday. For me, that means, um, let me see…pretty much nothing. Gas is back up to three bucks a gallon, I broke my hydrometer, Iraq is still Iraq, and that goddamn 50-page paper isn’t exactly writing itself, is it? But the Dow is up, and CNN thinks news is a video of cat pretending to play the piano. Whoopdie-doo indeed.
