I hope you're confident about our economy. I am. We've got some short-term issues to deal with. Fourth quarter growth slowed to .6 percent. In other words, there are signs that our economy are slowing. There's some uncertainty in the economy. But in the long run you've got to be confident about your economy. Inflation is down, interest rates are low, productivity is high. Our economy is flexible, it is resilient. We've been through problems before. As a matter of fact, we've been through problems before since I was your President. We've had a recession, corporate scandals, an attack on the United States of America; we've had major national disasters, and every time we've come through strong. And that what's going to happen this time, too. –Pres. Bush discusses economy in Torrance, CA, Jan. 30 2008 www.whitehouse.gov

First of all, it doesn’t matter whether I have hope or not, because you do the same things anyway. But it’s in fact better than it was. I mean, I mentioned the Vietnam War. There was no protest for years, and the place was practically destroyed before there was any protest. The Iraq War was the first time in the history of the West, Europe and the United States, that there was massive protest against a war before it was officially launched. That’s a huge change.—Noam Chomsky

If you’re wondering why last week was so spooky I can totally clear things up. Of course you noticed it was the first time in more than two and a half years that I didn’t post anything to this blog but did you also know that key world leaders (Bush, Brown, Merkel, Herkel, Schmerkel) don’t make a move without consulting these pages for psychic direction? Without my guidance, chaos reigned. The logjam at the Bali climate talks and Fed rate cut market swoon are just two examples, not to [barely] mention the baseball steroids bombshell, so terribly shocking. Better not to go there anyway because whenever I think about baseball players (well, more their uniforms) I get sorta hot and itchy.
