Greenspan ...is every bit as looney.. I'm currently scratching my head over Glasner's "FREE BANKING AND MONETARY REFORM". He's one of the serious thinkers making the case that the Fed is trying to deal with a system that is fundamentally flawed. Given the tools Greenspan has to work with, I suspect he's at least much better for us than those who preceded Volker.

The good and certain thing about interest rate cuts is that Greenspan only has 500 basis points more to go, as he single handedly man the machine gun nest at the fortress gate with 500 remaining plutonium core ammo, surrounded by swarming barbarians from all over the civilized and uncivilized worlds. Wish him the best of luck. In the event that he should succeed in raising matters from the dead, saving the CSCOs and GEs of this world, we will get a fine, god sent, opportunity to short the weebie geebies out of this very fine money-making perpetual motion NASDAQ machine. After we go short the market and are justly rewarded, we can then contemplate the New New Thing while resting on the beach ... Message 15279970

"Dr. Strangelove or how I learned to stop worrying and love the Bomb" (http://www.google.com/search?q=Dr.+Strangelove&btnG=Google+Search) came out in 1964. The character Dr. Stangelove (played among other great roles by Peter Sellars) was based on the pudgy 3D physicist and civilian strategist Dr. Herman Kahn, who had written a book called On Thermonuclear War which advocated clear thinking about the bomb and its consequences and as a result was demonized by many liberals. Dr. Kissinger, an altogether different civilian strategist, was, I think, still at Harvard writing his books on diplomacy and war. How any of this has anything to do with Dr. Alan Greenspan I do not know. True, all three were Ph.D.'s in three different fields (physics, history, and economics), and all were of Jewish ancestry and singularly right wing in political orientation.
