It seems like a millions years since I’ve done a link round-up, but if ever a situation called for one, it’s the situation we’re currently in.

Unless you’re still hiding out in your underground bunker, you know that the $700 billion bailout plan has passed Congress and has been signed into law by President Bush. And there has already been a lot of reaction to this historic event - and not just in the knoxnews.com comments.

Some people mourned the loss of a piece the American dream…

…others mourned the loss of free market economy…

and others just tried to look for the light at the end of the tunnel.

Oh yeah, and Wall Street didn’t exactly fall in love with it.

Other people just tried to make sense of it all …

either by laying out all the facts about it…

…or by putting together a big ole’ helpful mess of links about it. (h/t Inman Blog)

Still others noticed some pretty odd provisions in it.

As for me, I do what I always do when the going gets tough. I work my butt off and turn to YouTube to drown my sorrows - you know I’m a sucker for kitties in times of crises. Please to enjoy, Ninja Cat -
