THIS IS NOT COMFORTING ...

My two most recent posts discussing Alan Greenspan's role in the economic mess we are now in may, for some, be overstated. However, when you read Greenspan's book you will see that I am rather generous.

The real issue, or connundrum, lies in determining what we need to do to avoid what looks like some real economic ugliness around the corner. Robert Reich takes a solid bite at the apple and makes it clear that - as is the case with what Bush is leaving us in Iraq - there are not any good options. To make a long story short, we are no longer master's of our destiny - we need the rest of the world to bail us out.

Can you say Xie Xie? (And pass the wontons.)
