Well, maybe I don't want to play your stupid game anyway!

Ezra Klein is guesting on Wonkette today, with a fabulous story about Ford. (I'd link you directly to his own blog, but it seems to be down at the moment.) The closer: Welcome to the ?new? economy. It?s new because you?re not in it.

Indeed. Meanwhile, Wal-Mart will be
opening up to 280 stores this year alone. (Where are they going to PUT them all?) Practically speaking, does this mean assembly-line workers will now become "greeters"? For a lot less money, no benefits, so that ultimately the only place where they can afford to buy anything is...Wal-Mart? - oooooh, they don't call it the dismal science for nothing.

I know
Thomas Friedman can see what's at the end of this rainbow, and I think he's right, but meanwhile, the Yellow Brick Road has got some potholes in it. Wish we could take a long nap and wake up when it's over.
