April Fool’s Day

April Fool’s Day is celebrated with hoaxes and practical jokes. I’m hesitant to post anything today for fear that a serious story would be seen as a joke or a joke would be seen as a serious story.

A few years ago, if I had told you that Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, AIG, General Motors and Chrysler would be bankrupt, out of business or owned by the US Government, you would have laughed. Today, you just cry when you look at your tax bill.

So I will sit motionless today, unsure if anything is real.

Yes, that is a Dharma Initiative Alarm Clock.
