3. So W will manage this investment like all his others:
He'll hold it until it's worthless and all the little people involved with it have lost everything.

4. When I first heard that term this week, I was reminded of "Event Horizon"
for some reason. It was a creepy, gross, Sci-Fi Horror movie.

Anything this administration dreams up is a Horror anyway.
