I Miss Fafblog Comments, Spot!
Actually, the New York Post did publish a horribly off-base article blaming Richardson’s death on Canada’s National Health System. So actually, I do expect them to pick these up. Should have put MUST CREDIT IMF,S at the top.
Way back when in the 20th century - at a time when people listened to LP records, and used slide rules to calculate - I went to college in New England. My first-semester roommate, like me a graduate of a high school in Virginia, went off to ski for the first time one weekend, and came back with a broken leg.
I have never gone skiing in my life.
True story. Who knows if it's good or bad?
Similarly, although I find myself in agreement with William Greider in his endorsement of "A New Way Forward" and their anti-big bank bailout demonstrations coming up on April 11, 2009 - I could be wrong.

there’s an interesting piece of info that’s come out in the reporting about the red sox postponement of their opening day game and festivities. perhaps the rain, which was the stated cause for the delay was nature's way of punishing the region for verbally adding/omitting the "r" sound from words with/without the letter "r" in them. when asked for comment, one fan asked, "what sound is 'ahhh' supposed to make?"
there’s an interesting piece of info that’s come out in the reporting about the collapse of the ice bridge in Antarctica. apparently, the ice bridge only ever spoke in shrieks, groans and near the end, crackling sounds. had it spoken proper English and given clearer warning, perhaps catastrophic climate change could have been averted.
there’s an interesting piece of info that’s come out in the reporting about the corruption case against former Alaskan Sen. Ted Stevens. Apparently the prosecution failed to realize that high-ranking GOP Senator Stevens spoke English. After U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan overturned the guilty verdict, the Justice Department issued an apology. An embarrrassed spokesman told reporters, "We thought he spoke Alaskan. I don't think anyone could have foreseen that Alaskan is the same as English." Speaking off the record, a reliable source blamed a memo from Dick Cheney. The complete memo reads, "re: REPUBLICAN Stevens. Remember you work for the Dept. of Just-Us." Our source criticized the memo as, "overly cryptic," and claimed to be unaware that only English speakers could be elected Republicans. Fortunately, while Stevens did hide a $250,000 bribe, his conviction was thrown out on a technicality.

there’s an interesting piece of info that’s come out in the reporting about the earthquake in Italy. Apparently most of the inhabitants of the city were not speaking English at the time. That is their own business, of course, but they should expect to pay the consequences.
.
Berlusconi's widely reported comment that earthquake victims should "see it like a weekend of camping" were no doubt made worse for having been delivered in a foreign language. If he had delivered them in English, he might have noted that the victims "were underprivileged anyway, so this is working out very well for them."
so this is working out very well for them
Of course. Only shoddy structures would fall down in an earthquake, and the only reason to put a shoddy structure on a fault would be to collect the insurance when it fell down. Those people who lost their homes knew what they were doing. Why should they be rewarded with a free tent? They are freeloaders taking advantage of the European socialist system. Obviously the European economic system has been weakened by socialism and will collapse any day now. I only hope that when it does, it does not drag the American FreeMarket© system with it.

I wonder what the Italian word is for bootstraps?
I'm not sure what the name is but I am pretty sure that Italian bootstraps are short wide noodles with the ends folded over and pinched together. They go especially well with a rich white sauce.
.
btr3 - You are thinking of mussolini with alfredo sauce.
with best wishes,
Fun factoid, unsourced:
Mussolini never made love and removed his boots.
Also, he did not make the Italian train system run on time.
Nowadays, the trains in Italy seemed (in my visit) to be punctual. It wasn't fascism that made it so.
