The New York Stock Exchange, by signaling business prospects through share prices, has long been a bellwether of the nation’s economic health. The exchange started on this date in 1792, as some two dozen merchants and brokers established an organized approach to their buying and selling. In good weather, they operated under a Buttonwood tree on Wall Street. Otherwise, they moved to the shelter of a nearby coffeehouse to continue their trading. This makeshift setup eventually evolved into an economic powerhouse, watched closely each trading day to see how the bulls or bears are assessing the overall U.S. economy. Eighteen percent of U.S. households directly own shares of stock and about 44 percent invest in mutual funds. Profile America is in its 17th year as a public service of the U.S. Census Bureau.

Pat Robertson does it again! “Pat Robertson Tells Wife of Cheater, ‘He’s a Man’” Checkout the whole story on ABC’s web news posting.

Again freeing the husband of his actions and absolving him of his deceptions. Makes sense to me. It is after all a continuation on the story about the cause of all man’s troubles. You know the story about the naked young maiden enjoying a Golden Delicious while petting her talking snake.
