At the time of this writing, Missouri’s still up in the air with a slim margin for McCain. And though it doesn’t really matter anymore in the grand scheme, it just shows how important a guy like Ralph Grigsby was last night.
Since June, Grigsby, 66, has been a limo driver for Hobson’s Limousine & Transportation Service. Hobson, a member of the St. James United Methodist Church, apparently was concerned about people getting to polling sites, so he told his congregation he’d volunteer his limo service to help.
“I wasn’t doing anything tonight so why not?” Grigsby said, standing outside his white stretch limo while he waited for his last passengers to vote as the polls closed on the corner of 32nd and Prospect. “Hobson donated it through the church, but we ended up driving everyone who needed it. I started around 2 p.m. Some people were at the wrong polls, so I’d take them to the right one. Some people didn’t know where they were going, so we’d figure it out. I had a lot of first-time voters. A lot of them were confused about where to go."
“No, none of them were for McCain,” he added, and laughed. “Tonight’s been a lot of fun.”
His last five passengers came out of the polls – two middle-aged women and three younger guys – and he held the door open for them like the professional that he is, waiting until they were settled before driving them home.

You betcha I do, David.
Let�s start by considering Vanity Fair as a credible source for stock market analysis. �Nuff said
The consensus amongst credible market analyzers is that the stock market decline is due to 1) profit seekers from the previous several day gains, 2) dozens of other indicators showing the incoming recession, 3) uncertainty. Unlike the country�s people, the stick market is not a big fan of change. They like predictability.
Mr. Obama�s selection of Treasury Secretary will have even more of an influence on the market than the selection of Mr. Obama.
If you want to invest today, David, I suppose that would be putting your money where your mouth is. But, I would certainly advise against it.
Sure you want to make a stock-market argument, Trevor?
