Let's be real: Should Kerry win this election, we are most likely not in for a spectacular and unprecedented ride of shiny progressive glory that will astound the world and reignite the collective soul and float us all to the hereafter on golden wings of sparkly well-lubed bliss. OK?

Here's a secret for everybody.

The high price of oil WILL cause a recession in 2005-2006.

The stock market is signalling that right now.Look at the charts.

The recession will be tough.

It will make today's economy look like a cornucopia.

The choices we face on Nov. 2 are stark.

Bush will weather the recession.

He has had experience in battling recessions.

Kerry might ignite a depression.

Remember Jimmy Carter?

Kerry is a bigger fool.

It's time to cash out of properties that are at peak values now and find smaller domociles.

I've been an optimist my entire life, until now.

Sorry for the downer, but my gut is right more times than not.

Just another nuisance to go along with terrorism.

Yep Fannie Mae is a harbinger...
