The Nobel Prize winner every conservative loves to hate ( I mean besides the President of the United States) asks the question that should be on every reasonable person’s mind: A number of commentators seem shocked at how unreasonable Republicans are being. “Has the G.O.P. gone insane?” they ask. Why,

And yet-somehow-I am the one that is wrong.
This post is for Phib’s chattering class. One of the most bracing things about going to a blog where hard core wingnuttery prevails-is having to defend common sense. It’s hard-because unlike what they would have you believe-facts are not relevant, and they are more than willing to attack you personally.

Sorry, its been a while since posting. Its hard to type when you are curled up in the fetal position. Today was the first day I felt semi-normal in four days. I’v either been working, working on my course, or trying to sleep. I still have not been able to get

Watching Bloomberg today has been a bit eye-opening. First of all, they are talking about the immediate sell-off that occurred when the job numbers are announced.

Sorry for the lack of posting. For the last four days-if I haven’t been at work-dragging my ass around for eight hours-I’ve been in bed or forcing myself to eat. Finally ran up the white flag and found a doctor through my contacts at the Embassy. Appointment is tomorrow. It’

Greetings from sunny Bucharest! The city seems to have changed very little in a year. Got in late due to Lufthansa leaving Frankfurt late. By the time I got to the hotel I was exhausted. Slept for a while-then realized I needed to eat. So back across the street to

Greetings from Frankfurt Germany. I am transiting through here on my way back to points east. What am I doing here, you ask? Going here to work for a while-at least for the short term, while I work, search, and hope some things fall into place. Whether they will or not

Every thing is a new opportunity. That’s the current fiction I keep telling myself. Next week, I will figure out a new one to tell myself. Working on a short term unique and interesting thing to do-until the rest of this little drama sorts itself out. Monday, we get to hear
