Weekend Economists Hit the New Year (and it hits back) Goodbye 2013 / Hello 2014! [View all]
Last edited Tue Dec 31, 2013, 06:46 PM - Edit history (1)
It's the time of the social calendar, when we kick back, let down our hair (if we have any), and tell the recent past to "get lost" while we look forward to rescue, redemption, and validation in the coming 365.
What will the New Year bring? More than you can stand, so just take it one day at a time, please!
We are featuring Bernie Green and his orchestra. He was MY introduction to jazz, Bernie Green Plays More Than You Can Stand. I may even have the vinyl in my garage, as my inheritance...It will have to get a lot warmer before I go looking for it!
A NOTE ON OTHER ASPECTS:
I've just had a brick wall experience in another group...evidently, we have "valid" and "Invalid" news sources....even when you are posting a OPINION COLUMN.
I may, in the fashion of Crocodile Dundee, go walkabout...for 18 months or so. I do not suffer fools. And I think there are too many of them, lately. I cannot imagine what the next election cycle will be like, when this kind of proto-fascist idiocy is already running riot around here.
On the other hand, since the topic was the poisonous effects of Fukushima, I will AGAIN have the dubious pleasure of "I TOLD YOU SO", when "mainstream" MSM ever catches up to those who fixate on something that doesn't involve "twerking" or "number of gullible souls enrolled in rapacious insurance scams by the ACA".
To the New Year, I say:
I love saying I told you so. It's my favorite phrase. But for some reason people don't seem to appreciate it when I say it to them. I haven't figured out why. Anything that gives me that much pleasure must give other people pleasure too, right?

I was hearing about the triple meltdown via enenews since long before TEPCO 'confessed'.
