...arrived in town a few hours earlier than my boyfriend, so I ducked into a divey-looking bar in the heart of the French Quarter called the Copper Monkey (725 Conti Street; 504-527-0868) for a beer and an awesome burger. The toothless gentleman to my right regaled me with tales of the chef training he received in Angola (the state penitentiary, not the country). When I tried to buy him a drink, he waved me off, saying, "Women don't pay for beer down here," and sent one my way. I was really starting to like this town...

One popular gauge of commodity prices, the Reuters CRB Index, tumbled 22.3% in October, the biggest drop in the index's 48-year history. (See pictures of the global financial crisis...

...more than likely go for Obama on Election Day. But his homestead is actually in a little town 8 miles from Sedona called Cornville, in Yavapai County. Until recently, it was hard to imagine Yavapai, an old blue collar farming and mill town that used to supply the nearby copper mines, ever voting for a Democrat.

It's hard to ignore the parallels between, for example, President Salvador Allende's nationalization of Chile's banks and copper industry in 1970, and the U.S. government's recent purchase of part of insurance giant AIG and its bailout of several financial behemoths. It is interesting that the crisis in the capitalist system has been met with the kind of government interference in the economy that was once viewed with...
