HMM: There’s this: “Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said that if she became president, the federal government would take a more active role in the economy to address what she called the excesses of the market and of the Bush administration.”

And there’s this: “The stock market was in meltdown today as nearly £60billion was wiped off London shares as fears of a US recession sparked a global sell-off.”

Coincidence, I’m sure.

UPDATE: “They’ll turn us all into beggars ’cause they’re easier to please.”
