what's the point?

Investing in our future?

OK, so Bush won. I have a hard time not putting won in quotes though. I'm not a conspiracy nut by any means, my brain just latches on to any possible explanation of how this could have happened. I still haven't come to grips with the thought of four more years of the Bush regime without fear of reelection. There is some hope though. If the moderate Republicans actually get off their asses and stand up to Bush's fundamentalist base we might be able to minimize the damage done over the next four years.

In any event, I left for San Diego Wednesday morning at 5am when the election still hadn't been decided. Right as we arrived at the hotel at around 10:30, I saw Kerry come out to give his concession speech. Finally back home now, and I checked out our mutual funds for the first time since the election. We're up almost $2000 in 3 days. Oh my ill-gotten gains. This is when the idea hit me, why not start a mutual fund that accepts donations. Or rather, start a PAC that accepts donations, and have them invested in a mutual fund, one that targets stocks in industries likely to benefit from four more years of Bush. Halliburton! Defense Contractors! You get the idea anyway. Then, in 2008, donate everything to the DNC, or if that goes over limits, some to the DNC, spread the rest out among specific candidates and PACs. Someone set that up, ok? I'm just the idea guy.
