Suspending campaigning to return to Washington and solve the financial crisis, ducking out of the debates and challenging Obama to follow suit... Seriously, the guy has admitted countless times, he knows dick about economic matters. What's he gonna do? Oversee the financial experts in their brainstorming sessions or make them tea? He's about as useful to them as an asshole on their elbow. This posturing is ridiculous. It's obvious he's shitting it about being humiliated in the debate on Friday and wants out. If the American people see that he cannot be eloquent on this matter then he's utterly screwed and he knows it. So, he seeks a preemptive strike, so that it looks to the American people that he's the purposeful "country first" mover and shaker on this issue rather than the know nothing, war mongering, elitist, Charlie colaborating bastard he really is. Suspend campaigning indeed. It's five weeks until the election. It wouldn't surprise me if this was the start of something much darker. An end of the Republic-style, Revenge Of The Sith-esque, Emergency Power-granting situation whereby the Administration somehow use the current crisis to cancel the election. I know it's constitutionally impossible, but that hasn't stopped them once since 9/11. This worries me, greatly. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

Hello. My computer speakers have suddenly stopped working. Or at least, for 99% of the time they don't work, then briefly flare into life for a split second, then stop working again. But they're bust for all intents and purposes. Funnily enough though, I can jack my headphones in and I can hear everything fine through the 'phones. What's going on here? [EDIT: okay, after a bit of wiggling, resulting in some on/off soundplay, I think the lead on the right speaker is goosed... any suggestions for fixing it?]
