The many can compose? December smiles

It should frighten you out of your wits
To learn what was done to those tits
The Great Berluscosa,
Who does nothing sub-rosa,
Had them touched up with clothing that fits.

Degenerate art? Degenerate audience? Degenerate past? Past as prelude?

And can you say for sure you know
Where Tony's money's salted?
Tit for this and Tat for that
Can cost a pretty penny.
Who will say if Gordon's acts
Have cost Our Tony any?

Grows great until its mown,

BushCo's fatal delusion.

It shines the light on an unpleasant fact: "investors" bailed out of those CDOs and freed from SIVs with public money, take the profit from short sales and hot-foot it to China, leaving no money for modest Main Street loans.

The Technology Trap

(l'Engrenage technique) Pub: Gallimard, 266 p; by André Lebeau

Reviewed for Le Canard Enchaîné by Jean-Luc Porquet

When, in 1722, the Dutch navigator Jacob Roggaveen discovered Easter Island he observed only barren grassland. Not a tree on the horizon. Only 400 inhabitants eked out a miserable existence, sustaining themselves on vegetables and chickens. Without trees, therefore without wood or any sort of vessel, they were unable to go out fishing in the surrounding waters, rich in all species of fish. Divided into eleven strongly heirarchised tribes, each of which boasted a leader, they fought fiercely over a territory about fifteen kilometers by twenty.

and perhaps even Blackstone Security's overdraft (aka: "working capital"?

This is how it would work, were it to happen.

The FT would run a schadenfreude-inspiring piece on how little demand there now is for IMF loans.and how the International Institution will have to live for several years off the profits (interest-rate spread) it had squirreled away following any scandalous speculator-bailout you can name. (Think big, think - erm - Russia.) Maybe the article would be entitled, let's say, something like Falling income: IMF in dilemma as new loans decline(1). If your reading's almost up to date, you'll enjoy the thought of those slathering Wall Street thugs twiddling their thumbs for the next few years, looking for trouble that never comes, over your morning coffee.

But that's not all.
