"One of the most irritating things about the current Iranian uprising is that I’ve seen a spate of WWRD (What Would Ronnie Do?) posts all over the place. I’m not on my normal computer, so I don’t have my browser history to help me, but I know there was one or two at Hot Air, I know I’ve seen them at the NRO, and I’m pretty sure there was one at Commentary magazine.

Just as the banksters and their guvamint whores were playin' with the big fantasy bubble, layin' in mythic money by the ton, so now-a-days they is still playas, holdin' onto the worthlessness of everything they got -- workin' the short term and putting off the disaster.

whether it's metaphysical 'puts' or metaphysical 'calls' the slime always rises to the top in economics...
