Reflections
|
We cry with Clinton, attend a wedding of whores, pity the presidential
candidates, look under the Ron pall, terminate the free market, put old
folks on work-study, consign Warren Buffett to the looney bin, raze the
red-light district, confront the threat of epistemological terrorism,
study the economics of hookers, and ask people to just shut up.
