Eddie, re:"Emaciated economists"

If the old emaciated fart would speak English, we would all know what he meant

<ggggg>
Re-reading the speech (which Nancy posted), he was amazingly straight-forward: used the term "bubble"; said rates could go in any direction, requiring "restraint; echoed historical innovation cycles (econ-speak for "mania"); said the US had (and would be) influenced by global deflation; etc.

Call me a kook, but (despite his appearance) I think he's got quite the dry humor. His tongue-in-cheek dissection of the "new economy" was about as 'Oliver Twist' as an economist can get.

Cheers,
Alan

ps. Media mongrels have stooped to all time lows!!

Now, is that anyway to refer to one our leaders under our great modern leader who is about to resign? Be impeached? An emancipated fart? Don't you know what power this fart holds in our economy????? Well, anyone that would take power under an unconstitutional govt entity (The Fed), who used to believe in Ayn Rand, he says, in times of weakness, I guess we can't expect too much can we. What I expect is a revolution of some kind. Anyone here read Exodus? As the Boy Scouts say: BE PREPARED!
