Lunch Break

In case: You do not watch South Park religiously. Please start. Last night's deconstruction of the economic mess was wicked funny.



From The Right: The Toxic Assets We Elected.
From the Left: What we are seeing with Obama's "movement" is the most classic maneuver of the American system's playbook: neutralizing and homogenizing any energy it fears.
Winning: Did Bush win the Iraq war?
Yuan for Dollars: Tim G's slip yesterday on moving the dollar aside for another reserve currency was telling, and frankly, amazing. He walked it back latter. But, WOW, that something like this could be anywhere in his head - is a sea change in American policy.
Music: Sometimes some recent country is the only thing that will do.
