LIVE BLOGGING THE VP DEBATES: I'm Hungry, Please Answer the Following Questions

Am I the only person in America who doesn't understand what, exactly, happened to the economy? I know all hell broke loose this week (trust me, I tried to pull a career coup with this knowledge but no dice) but, how did it happen? And again, WHAT happen? We keep talking about trillions of dollars being lost and I'm picturing the Hamburgler trepsing off holding bags with big dollar signs on them.

So I'd like for Sarah Palin and Joe Biden to explain, first, what happened? And second, how they're going to fix the mess.

In the meantime, I'll eat my dinner.
