Ha ha. That’s a joke. Zombies can clap, but by definition, do not have conscious awareness.
Now that [Health Care is] done, Barack Obama will go down in history as one of America’s finest presidents. It’s always possible of course that, like LBJ, he’ll get involved in some unrelated fiasco that mars his reputation.

Some say the world will end in default
Some say by printing.
From what I’ve heard about the vaults
I hold with those who say default.
But if I could go broke minting
I know enough of fear
To say that for destruction printing
Is always near
And equally unstinting.

Yesterday, thanks to the power of teh Google, your humble essayist posted on how China had recently entered the fray of purchasing US homeowner mortgage debt and appeared to be getting ready to do (much?) more of the same.
The resulting essay appears to have contributed to a rattling of the confidence of at least one of our own. To those of us who live and breathe the crap dished out by our political opponents day in and day out, a very good question or three comes to mind.
Why add to the pile? Why give us yet another thing to worry about? Shouldn’t we stop talking and go do something fer cryin’ out loud?
The answer? Yes (to do more), and no (to stop talking)…
