Bear Stearns is being sold for just $236 million. The deal's value is more than 90 percent below the company's Friday closing share price of $30.85 that sounded a bit low to stockholders, but today they got the word that it was $2.00 a share.

This was the first bank to go under, but it'll not be the last. I believe it will be justice if at least half of all the banks in the US are forced into bankruptcy. Then Bush idiots will not have time to dispute global warming, justification for the Iraq War, and Bill Clinton's sex life. These morons will be busy trying to find food and a place to call home. All you Bush people are welcome to come to my place. I bought a large garbage can and have a sign on it, "This garbage and maggots are reserved for hungry Bush voters."
