>>I guess when TTT sets the bar as low as he has and (allegedly) caused the kind of damage he caused to the markets, Bernanke sounds like Williams Jennings Bryan, regardless of the substance. << To which I have to append my favorite HL Mencken quote about Bryan, written during the Scopes trial. He could have been writing about Bernanke today! One somehow pities him, despite his so palpable imbecilities. It is a tragedy, indeed, to begin life as a hero and to end it as a buffoon. But let no one, laughing at him, underestimate the magic that lies in his black, malignant eye, his frayed but still eloquent voice. He can shake and inflame these poor ignoramuses as no other man among us can shake and inflame them, and he is desperately eager to order the charge. Ever since Thompson bought the farm, there's no one around who can write like that anymore.<NG>
