Well, if you kids are not aware of what's happening in the world today, let me reiterate. First, Dow Jones has the biggest drop in its index in many years on Monday, Sep 29. 777 points to be exact. In Las Vegas, that would be known as a LUCKY STRIKE! But not in the stocks market. The last biggest drop (at 684 points) was the day after the 911 disaster when planes went crashing into buildings in the US. Why the drop? Because the US political scene rejected a bill to provide 700 billion dollars to the ailing financial institutions. Well, you may ask how will that concern you? Should I even bother? Since I am in Singapore, I am protected? Not really. But rest assure that your parents will help you face as little impact as possible. As for those who are already adults, be thrifty and spend wisely.
On a lighter note, besides the turbulent stock market, you may have read something about the US presidential campaign going on right now. The butt of the joke on this campaign is someone by the name of Sarah Palin. A self professed Hockey Mom, who is elected to be the Vice President for the Republicans Presidential campaign. Why her? Well, let these videos show you what everyone in US is laughing about. Not that I am asking you to laugh at somebody's weakness. However, you can learn some things from the spoofs. That is, don't claim intelligence when you are not apt for it.
