Bargain Hunters!

  • Just as I was ready to jump out the basement window because the Nasdaq was never going to have a positive day again, the "bargain hunters" show up and turn the market around.
  • "Bargain hunters" get the credit?  C'mon.  U.S. stocks closed higher Wednesday as the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite roared back to its first positive day in nine, as bargain hunters stepped back into a market blindsided by economic fears that knocked more than 500 points off the Dow so far this year.  (Are these the same people lining up at 6am to buy Hallmark Christmas ornaments and wrapping paper the day after?)
  • Hunting for votes?  Obama gets the crucial nod from the Culinary Workers union in Nevada.  Voters gotta eat!
  • Hunting for trouble?  "What are you doing here?" man asks wife at BrothelA Polish man got the shock of his life when he visited a brothel and spotted his wife among the establishment's employees. Polish tabloid Super Express said the woman had been making some extra money on the side while telling her husband she worked at a store in a nearby town.
  • Couldn't the wife ask the husband the same question?
  • In other hunting news, bird dog steps on gun, kills hunter.  By any chance, was that Dick Cheney's dog?
