    And the nomination for new scariest sunovabitch econblogger of 2009 goes to: Rolfe Winkler! You have successfully graphed to us that we are not in the "greatest downturn since the Great Depression," but rather, this is going to make GD-1 look like the Gilded Age with truffles.

    The revolution will be blogged, twittered and generally forwarded until you're blue in the facebook. Epicurean Dealmaker is the hot young-talking financial hipster from the M&A world that's getting the secret globalist conspiracy nod lately. She wears sweaters with necklines that plunge to the little tuft of merkin she lets poke out of the top of her toughskins. She quotes Wittgenstein, Dorothy Parker, and Groucho Marx (Or Karl, I always get them mixed up). And she has a manifesto that the crickets have been chirping up this evening.

    Forget the Juicebox Mafia... with Felix, ED (heh, the acronym for Epicurean Dealmaker), and oh, what the hell, Mike Konczal, aka "Rortybomb," we've got ourselves The 3 Horsefeathers of the Econolypse.

    Financial Times: Bear Stearns and Lehman Executives Cashed in before Collapse

    [www.calculatedriskblog.com]

    Oh my. It's almost as if they knew. Just like it was almost as if Angelo Mozilo knew to cash in his $500B before the microwaved turkey blew. Like almost as if Jerry Brown's sister and Henry Cisneros knew, when they bailed out of Countrywide.

    Almost as if John Paulson knew when he made that big bet with Lloyd's of London and Friends that the mortgage market was going to blow up.

    Here's a tip: I can't read or respond to anyone's replies because they're not showing up anymore when I come to the page. Also, when I click on my name at the top to see activity, either I get a blank page, or an ad for ebay. Hungarian programmers, knock of the tokaj!

    Lord Scrunchington points out this ad (top right of page) that offers a free can of pork and beans with every home purchased. This has to be from the shop that did the funny funny furniture and mobile home ads you guys posted about a few months ago.

    Godless Danish Commies: The happiest people in the world according to some studies, and the most wasteful people on earth. Is there a connection?

    Can't you just see them, sitting there all smug and Danish, eating half a bowl of their rådden fisk med fløde, and then leaving the rest for the flies. When we have people starving in Ethiopia and Manhattan?

    The observer COMPLETELY misses the point. Facebook et al. are all about farming information, not making money from advertising. Digital Douchebags.

    Is Twitter down? Normally I'd ask questions like this on Twitter. I'm confused and sad.

    Per a delightfully polite academic, "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" is a military expression of shock.
