		<description><![CDATA[Over at The Economist, my BFF notes the strange and wondrously-transformed political context in which, suddenly, &#8220;corn-ethanol subsidies are going to expire this year, and [...] no one is defending them.&#8221; Which is remarkable not only for itself, but for the timing, as just before reading the above link I was thinking of a post [...]]]></description>

Oh well. I was thinking about these today: Six Phases of a Project Enthusiasm Disillusionment Panic A Search for the Guilty The Punishment of the Innocent Praise [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another gloomy item about our financial system appeared today at Reuters. (Seriously, Reuters. It&#8217;s like &#8220;doubt about casino capitalism: it&#8217;s not just for hippies any more.&#8221;) The basic outlines are pretty much just confirmation of one&#8217;s general post-crisis pessimism, i.e. not enough has been fixed to really make the system more stable, and almost no [...]]]></description>

Mostly in little ways yet, without any clear reason thus leaving one asking &#8220;why?&#8221; Why now?

It  definitely can get too weird for me. So I&#8217;ve had little time or energy for the wider world of weirdness. But I&#8217;ll jot down a [...]]]></description>

Thus, no punning title for this [...]]]></description>
