There's more financial news this Sunday night than on most weekdays.

[randomness]

Lehman Brothers looks like it's going to file for bankruptcy tonight.

Merrill Lynch is selling itself to Bank of America to avoid a similar fate.

American International Group has asked the Federal Reserve for a $40 billion loan.

It's the phase of the moon! :) Or the phase of the business cycle, anyway.

I blame this post for the lengthy dream I had last night that my mother's farm mortgage had magically converted into a variable-rate mortage that had a new interest cap at 30% and was expected to reach that cap some time in the next year.

And yes, I thought "they can't do that!" even in the dream.

Good thing they can't, eh?
