“Secession” is a word I’m hearing more and more lately.

And if anyone thinks war repairs economies, I suggest they read up on the “Broken Window Fallacy”. The myth that wholesale destruction and death is good for an economy has been successfully propagandized on a scale equal only to the paper money lie.

It turns out the Detroit Free Press was right on, when they claimed Obama’s wife’s dress represents “a new way forward”.

Now, it has made the cover of Vogue. So there is hope for us, after all.

[And the sartorial truth was, as I wrote: “Michelle Obama wore an awful ensemble. It was a yellow-greenish sequined affair that makes her skin look like old cheese. Not very flattering.” And “First Lady Michelle Obama’s evening gown was only slightly better than the lime number. She should have gone with a veteran, big-name designer. The white tunic resembled a curtain with bulky tussles, and did not flatter her well-toned figure. An off-the-shoulders garment is not the best fit for a woman with such a wide, amazon-like build.” Usually brutal about fashion, the fashionistas ignored her awful outfits.]

No matter how myopic one assumes that both politicians and the general populace are about any economic-related matters of any kind, your expectations will always be exceeded. It’s beyond belief.
