Ed Harrison will graciously be providing proper Links later (I’m traveling today and have to be back up in four hours, and so a bit jammed), but I know e-mail subscribers get unhappy if they miss their Antidote du Jour, so I’m putting one up (Ed will have one in the proper Links later) with one wee item:
Fears of global currency war rise Financial Times
Antidote du jour:
I do love your antidotes, Yves.
Is that a baby Goldman or a baby Sachs?
Invidious comparisons unfair to piggies!
The slandering of the pig,
That is made without care,
Is in fact quite apt,
For life is unfair …
Deception is the strongest political force on the planet.
Concerning Swine Flu and bankers
When pigs can fly
like birdies do
then I’ll be afraid
of that there flu.
Except bankers can fly
(and always first class)
so maybe, just maybe
I should wear a mask.
I had a little bird
and its name was Enza
I opened the window
in flew Enza
Congress had a little pig
and its name was Ence
it opened its donation chest
in flew Ence.
Awwww.
*That’s* why I’m a vegan.
