Bailout Bill Fails: Soup and Gun Stocks Go through the Roof

Well, the bailout bill failed in the House this afternoon. The Dow is down almost 800 points. It's been a good day for Big Soup and Big Guns though: Campbell's Soup and Smith & Wesson shot up almost immediately after the bill failed. I guess people are stocking up for the economic apocalypse in which all Americans shoot each other for cans of soup.

Jared Diamond wrote "Guns, Germs and Steel" - a good read...
I can see Dr. Chris Smith writing "Guns, Greed and Soup"...everything goes in cycles...nature has a way of teaching...the harsh way.

Good idea, Paul. I'll get right on that.
