I have a LoosyAnna bumper sticker...

It's been a while since Texas came up with anything like the
banana republic extremes of Edwards v. Duke. All I can say
in feeble defense is that we don't produce more odious
politicians than we can consume locally, and that one of our
Senators is a treat for the eyes. We may look back on the
honest zaniness of the lizard and Wizard with nostalgia,
given the synthetic bunch we've got now. I think if the
polls showed an upsurge of Marxism in some key voting group,
Bush would call for a "compassionate class struggle" and
Gore would promise a blue ribbon panel to study the
ownership of the means of production.

Is it me, or was the Barron's this week unusually gloomy?
It seemed like every article was advice on how to survive
an economic nuclear winter. And Birinyi in Forbes was
talking about Avon and Sears. Avon? Nothing he mentioned
had been anywhere near an electron.
