Is it true that the market made a significant rebound today based on Krugman saying the recession will be over by the fall? My, my, what laudable creatures we are: set fire to the sacrificed entrails of a sheep and if the flames lick high, well - Krugman's a genius!
addendum: this just occurred to me, it's so obvious I don't know why, but playing along with the whole Obama is a socialist meme, it strikes me that if that were true he would perforce be required to weaken America, to make it less, in order to make room for the enforced egalitarianism: socialism and a belief in the supremacy of the individual, supremacy of 'the American way' for that matter, cannot co-exist. Interesting I suppose. No doubt there's a reason why the mention of Krugman got me thinking about this.
