You betcha. I think this would be a good time to invest in a Chinese toy
manufacturer or a company that produces lead-based paint. That's the American
way.

By some fluke, my pension funds are all in Canadian dollars. When I left
Canada, a CAN$ was worth about US$0.65. Now it's worth US$1.07. So just by
moving to the USA, the CAN$104.37 I had in my pension fund has dramatically
increased in value by about 43 cents. That should be enough to buy some
stocks in that Chinese leaded paint company.
I am acutely aware that this financial windfall has come about almost
exclusively as a result of carefully thought out Republican policies, so Dan
can add this item to the list of things I have praised Bush for.
