Because I do not spend enough time on the Internet, I have started a twitter.

If the first couple tweets are any indication, my twitter will be nothing but exhortations to save our economy through hard work and smart spending, like:

Work: It Keeps Away the Hunger.
Work: Remember When People Used To Do It and Things Were Better?
Work: It's What Bankers Do That Makes Them Feel Entitled To Their Wealth Even Though Their Compensation Structure Encourages Short Sighted Greed and Renders Sustainable Growth Impossible.

Yeah, okay. My sloganeering needs some...work.

Good day yesterday. The President gave a good speech; Jay Z performed his best-written song wearing his best-ever glasses. But let's remember--in six months, in a year, in two years--that we already knew things would get awfully bad.
