On Wednesday, the sky was falling, and the Dow lost 389 points.  Europe was killing us.  Then, Greece elected an economist as Prime Minister to take the place of the third-generation professional politician.  Then, Italy made real progress in passing a budget, when uber-politician Berlusconi will resign.  It is widely reported his replacement will also be an economist.
