money, gold, suicide bomber

Throw money at the economic crisis (that is claimed to be over). I am always awed by the off-handed way that Presidents announce the budget - $3.8 Trillion - yes, with a 'T'. It's like God is playing Monopoly or the devaluations that turn a buck into a billion whatevers in some of the undeveloped dictator ruled countries. We are still stock piling a huge amount of gold. I am wondering whether or not as to when the Chinese world economic status will get to a position that it no longer needs the U.S. for its principle export needs - consider the growth in India, Brazil, Europe, etc.Will our gold reserves be tapped to pay off the debt we are incurring to overseas interests? Beats the you-know-whats out of me.
In other news John Edwards' sex tape seems to be on top of everything else (no pun). Pity Nancy Kerigan or Monica L. or Brittany and Madonna aren't in it as then it could claim a cast of characters that everyone would want a piece of (no pun #2).

Woman blew herself up in Iraq killing 41 Iraquis. I wonder what she gets when she gets to heaven? To be one of the virgins for the unwashed male bombers? Sorry, it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
