joie d'apocalypse

I think it's really starting in earnest now.


When Black Friday comes
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor
When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out
I'll be on the road
When Black Friday falls you know it's got to be
Don't let it fall on me


anyone want to bet that the Dow is under 10,000 before February?

anyone want to bet that we'll be eating human flesh by 2009?

Didn't the Fed flood the economy with two injections of multiple billions of dollars last week? Seems like the only people who believe in the American dollar any more are Americans. It's like when we went off the gold standard.

I've heard the likely outcome of the current situation compared to the recession of the early 1980s. I'm not that optimistic -- but I've been a millennialist for longer than it's ever been fashionable.

yeah, optimistic is a good word for it.
I think we'll be lucky if it only gets as bad as the early 1930s.
