    In my Swedish-American household, the fiscal policy I was taught consisted of "That's expensive put it BACK." So I think the Swedes would make a fine model for our times. Pepparkakor for all!

    If there's one industry that doesn't need a bailout in these lonely, stressful, confidence-killing times, it's got to be porn.

    The food in Sweden is very good.


    Also, Pareene, you had the chance to show us some half-naked boys (which your female and a good deal of your male readers would prefer) and you blew it. Fail, darling.

    Greenspan was proposing a larger TARP bill?
