Vestiges of widespread mental illness abound.
So writes Dr. Brian Moench in “Schizophrenics, Psychopaths Holding America Hostage”. In fact, he prefaces that statement with:
I've been struck by how large portions of the country are mired in schizophrenic distortions of reality and how prominent business leaders and politicians overtly display personality traits common to psychopaths. Vestiges of widespread mental illness abound.

Robert Prasch has what I think is a pretty good piece on Obama's SOTU address over at Translation Exercises, if anyone wants to mosey on over there. I am not at all familiar with Robert Prasch, so I would welcome the reaction of Correntians who are well-versed in economics to his work. Read below the fold...

Don't Trust Them As Far As You Can Throw Them
The candidates are on the TV pleading
for a chance to get my allegiance and my vote
they try to tell me why they are the only guy
or girl who has the stuff to bring me hope
They offer inspiration and a vision

with analogies and metaphors abundant
you'd think they were an ale and not light beer Read below the fold...
