That's the Way the Ball Bounces

To everyone who's called on the American people to make a sacrifice,
to everyone who's bemoaned our decadent and soft lifestyle,
to everyone who's lamented that today's children haven't faced real hardship,
here's what you've been waiting for.

I expect shortly to discover just what I've been taking for granted. It will be a growth experience, I'm sure.

Either that, or it will all have been an embarrassing false alarm. Right? That could still happen, couldn't it?

A Mark Hunter wrote in to the Detroit News, saying "I keep waiting for Orson Welles to appear, explaining that, like the fictitious 1938 'War of the Worlds' radio broadcast, this financial calamity is pure fiction."

I think that's wishful thinking.
