Yep. A sad day for responsible investors.

For fun, a list of sweeteners that were added to the bill to overcome GOP and democratic resistance:

$2 million in tax breaks for child-friendly arrows
$10 million for bike-to-work programs
$478 million in tax breaks for big Hollywood production companies
$100 million in taxation adjustments for racing track owners
$192 million in tax breaks for rum (no tequila, sorry Vinny)
$148 million in tax break extensions for worsted-wool garment makers

Next up - the Detroit bailout package (with earmarks for goldfish, Value Meals and banjo manufacturers) and the California bailout package (with free Gummi Bears for all, money for a new "don't beat your cat" campaign and tax breaks for people who are going to lose out on the tax breaks in the Detroit bailout bill.)

"Senator John McCain is in favor of the bailout. He loves bailouts: he bailed out on me." --David Letterman

"One day after the worst day in the history of the stock market, the Dow surged almost 500 points, with one of the largest single day gains ever. But don't get too comfortable. The Dow is a little bit like Britney Spears, in a way. Yes, it made a nice comeback today, but at any moment, it could chug a Red Bull and shave its head and punch a photographer and we'll be right back where we started." --Jimmy Kimmel

"And the Senate voted on this bailout package again tonight. Senator Larry Craig missed the vote. I understand he was in the men's room, introducing his own package." --Jay Leno
