I already tweeted this, but since new tweets aren’t showing up in the sidebar right now, due to the hangover from the recent blog outage…
Friday’s Planet Money podcast, about Europe’s debt woes and the potential Lehman-style mega-crisis that could be in their (and our) future, was a classic in the #PANIC!!! genre. It may be their most unnerving episode since early 2009, when I used to routinely listen, on my light-rail commute to and from work, to Planet Money scaring the bejeezus out of me regarding the state of the economy and the financial system. Anyway, it’s worth a listen. Unless you want to, y’know, not be freaked out about stuff.
P.S. There’s one other cause for #PANIC in all this. Two words: President Palin.
No, seriously. If Europe implodes, the financial system collapses, and Great Depression II descends… you still think she can’t win?
The more appropriate question in that scenario would be, why shouldn’t she win? Such an outcome would mean that the elitists had their chance and pushed the car off the cliff instead of out of the ditch. In that case, time to give the backwoods hick “real Americans” their chance, no?
The solution to someone driving a car off a cliff isn’t to put a drunk driver behind the wheel of its mangled but still drive-able remnant and see what happens.
To the residents of the mental ward, the sane person appears insane.
The residents of the mental ward some the people that really are completely and utterly bat shit crazy are also pretty obvious…

dcl #4 – you are being a tad harsh about Helen Thomas, yourself, and David K, are you not ?
Hmm, that should have been too, not the. I blame bad proof reading and auto correct…
Anyway, Al, actually I was implying Miss Palin, and Glen Beck and a few others who, to maintain the car analogy, seem to believe in Wile E. Coyote physics without actually going there.
If you would like to make this conversation about ad homonym personal attacks I would be happy to oblige you there as I do possess a certain aptitude for them when I’m cranky. But I do think it best to actually make some attempt to keep things to at least semi rational arguments. I know and accept that asking for actual rational arguments from you and gahrie is just asking too much of your warped little minds.
Not only is Palin a financial “drunk driver” and all around poopyhead, but she is also morally no better than Michael Vick because she enjoys hunting (at least according to Aaron Sorkin, another liberal putz offering Palin living space in his head rent-free). Sorkin better hope Palin doesn’t have a comeback like Vick’s…
Use of a helicopter for hunting seems a little suspect in terms of how sporting it is. But as a sport, in general, there is not really anything specifically wrong with hunting. Not sure where the line between it actually being sporting and an over use of tech is… but it is somewhere before chopper.
