Confidence Fairy

One of the things that Paul Krugman suggests as the reason that Republicans are in complete disarray about the US budget situation - is the Confidence Fairy.

I wouldn't mind betting that Abbott and Costello Hockey are roving about in the same la la Disneyland.

The Confidence Fairy is this imaginary being who will magically restore consumer confidence - if only we could find her.

Sorry folks - just my weak little attempt at humour after today's market performance.

And I do like this guy's humour ;-)
