Ohmigawd! Voting for Kerry will ruin the economy!

From www.thetalentshow.org

Everyone, I'd like to apologize in advance for making the stock market crash :
U.S. stocks changed course suddenly on Tuesday as chatter on the Internet speculated that early exit polls show Sen. John Kerry leading the presidential election in key states. . . .Stocks had been sharply higher earlier, but reversed course suddenly just after 1430 EDT, giving up about half those early gains. . . .Traders said that part of the slide was due to Internet blogs indicating that Kerry was ahead in key swing states.
"That's what we're hearing," said Lisa Hansen, head trader at Transamerica Investment Management. "Apparently the blogs are saying that Kerry is ahead in one or two of the swing states and that's why the market dipped."Jeez, I guess we bloggers better start predicting a Bush victory. Otherwise we could be ruining the
economy without even knowing it.
