Whatever happened to the Great Depression? Not the real one from 70 years ago, the lost decade of unimagined misery and Steinbeckian angst, the worst period in the history of modern capitalism. I mean the replay we were promised this year. The one we were told was the inevitable counterpart to the greatest financial crisis since a couple of medieval Italians first sat down on a Florentine bench and invented the word �bank�.

I think that's a fair question. But then, I think economics is just a bunch of political agendas looking for a politician to enact their pet theory of the week.

That's very liberal of you.

According to post after post a few months ago, this mother-of-all-depressions was supposed to have already happened. I think May was down for cannibalizing the neighbors while waiting for this year's vegie crops to come in--if global warming didn't squelch that plan.
