Cycles of the crash: hope springs eternal
The other night I watched this PBS program on the Crash of ’29. It was made four years ago, so there were no tie-ins to the present crisis. But the mind can create them easily enough. Each downturn was preceded … Continue reading →
The Onion’s prediction for Obama’s Presidency
This is funny. But it’s the last line that’s priceless.

Yes, indeed, I am that old—old enough to remember when Veterans Day was called Armistice Day. The change in names occurred in 1954, when I was very small, in order to accommodate World War II and its veterans. Since then, … Continue reading →
