“…Til Your Well Runs Dry.”
I’ve been casually monitoring & trying to make sense of the whole Wall Street fiasco, paying even more attention since last Thursday. And before I said that Wamu would be my own personal panic signal.

Fat Joe: “Daddy Yankee Is A Sell Out”
“I opened the newspaper and got sick to my stomach,” Joe continued. “I felt like I wanted to vomit when I seen that.
