A wonderful way to start your week.

I don't really agree with Krugman often (albeit I don't have a Nobel prize in economics), and even though his cure for this economy is specious (he thinks the Federal government has not provided enough liquidity) I will agree him that there is a Bad Moon Rising.   Pray that we are both idiots and better times are ahead.

I read the same piece and thought that he had a point too. And I'd never agree with Krugman on anything else, especially his so-called solution. The solution that no one in the administration or Congress (on both sides of the aisle) wants is to cut spending. The G20 tried to tell President Obama that his solutions are tried and true failures, but, as expected, he wouldn't listen.

How is cutting government spending a solution to a recession/depression?

Krugman's a spindly little guy, but get a couple of Maredsous in him and he'd challenge a grizzly bear. I remember one time we were upstairs at Maggie's and he was pounding that Flemish slop. Three large frat rats came in and started popping off about how the flat tax was the solution to everything when Krugman hauled back and flung a HUGE loogy into the Stella Artois one of those misanthropes was holding.

"There's your fucking flat tax, assholes," he spat. "Taste it. Taste the booger flavor."

The wingman clipped Paul with a shot to the jaw and down he went. The guy with the Artois was kicking at Paul's head, but Mr. Nobel had his darts in his paws and managed to hold them points out, so the guy kept stabbing his foot with every kick.

I managed to roll Paul over the balcony and he landed on a table surrounded by bowheads, after which we beat our retreat. Good times.

Cool.   I take it back then.

Chuck is a socialist tool of the communist party and must be stopped at all costs.   If he gets his way, the poor will have voting rights and own land.  What then, I ask you.   What.  Then.

You know what? This is a fine effort. For some reason it reminds me of that scene in Trainspotting where Robert Carlyle tosses a mug over the balcony and all hell breaks out.

You are.  From the far left.   You have everything and want to just share it with every goddamn body.   And then laugh and then and point out how poorly they're using your resources.

For examples; have you watched Ron Brand play golf?

That's in the winter, when the little people with the chattering teeth are trying to warm their hovels. In the summer, you're communing with Central American socialists and trying to scam The Man by returning half-eaten cartons of ice cream.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Indeed. But Sir Brand uses his own resources, such as they are, to play the game.

Reminds me, I was tidying up on the 18th hole this afternoon at about 6. The sun goes down at 6:30, 6:45 or so. I keep hearing this fairly strong hissing sound. It sounds vaguely like the sound the waves make when the wind is coming in from the ocean so I ignore it. But in the back of my mind I know for a fact that it's not waves. As I stroll back to my cart I happen to look up and I see a hot air balloon rising from the airstrip just across the road. I've never seen a hot air balloon in Panama. I have cruise control in my car here. I have never used it. Panama's just really not a cruise control kind of place. In a similar way Panama doesn't strike me as a hot air balloon kind of place, either. Certainly not when you're going up at fucking sundown. I mean, what the fuck are you doing? I have no earthly idea where he meant to land. Fortunately for him the wind is indeed coming in off the ocean. He'll either get tangled up in some power lines or he'll slam into a mountain. Or he'll scare the shit out of some campesino by landing in his field.

I forgot to mention that I did indeed return the ice cream. It occurred to me that the tub I'd bought may simply have melted at some point and lost half its contents. Anyway, I took literally the only other ice cream of the same size, naranja-piña. That's a pretty good flavor, too. You know, now that I think about it I didn't see that five gallon tub of nance. Maybe someone has more of a taste for planting soil than I do.

I think the best way to fix this problem is to let rich people make all their own personal decisions and let the other 99% of the world work harder.  Pull themselves up their bootstraps.  Show some gumption.   Some moxie.   If they weren't so fucking lazy, they wouldn't be in this position.

Never cross the streams.
I'm in love with rock and roll and I'll be out all night.

I like Chicago, Bad Company, Pappasitos fajitas and Jack in a Box commercials.  Nay (we're voting if Alkie should snap a pic of his genitals on a boat, right?)

I will give MusicMan this...since I've spent the last 13 months on the Upper West Side, I've totally lost touch with the redneck Middle America.

I told you so.  You're one Chris Sampson trade away from convincing yourself that the Yankees aren't such cocksuckers after all.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Peter Cetera is going to be playing here imminently. People are actually excited about the show.

They believe in the glory of love.

Alkie, I happen to be good friends with a girl that dated Chris during and after college, I could probably get a written description of how his dick tastes?

Exactly.  As if you needed to be told what Chris' dick tastes like.

Honeydew melons and butterfly wings.   Also, your ass.  Which was NOT what I was expecting with you out of town that week.
