We’re off to Madison for the weekend. Weather looks to be fantastic for pumpkin patching and brewery touring. We’re really looking forward to it.
I leave you with a surprisingly succinct piece on the denouement of the U.S. mortgage industry collapse by Christopher Hitchens in the latest Vanity Fair. He’s pissed, as should be we all:
Remember the scene at the end of Peter Pan, where the children are told that, if they don’t shout out aloud that they all believe in fairies, then Tinker Bell’s gonna fucking die? That’s what the fall of 2008 was like, and quite a fall it was, at that.
Enjoy your weekend, fair readers.
