...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

no-doc, lo-doc, or Alternative A:

I spoke with Sheila Bair, who’s the head of the FDIC, last December. I asked her, “How many banks are going to fail?” She phumphered around and came up with the number seventy-six. Now we’re talking over 300 potentially. So this crisis is just beginning, and this is one of the problems here. We read the headlines as if everything has already happened, the worst has happened. It hasn’t yet. And that’s what we have to brace ourselves for.

Okay, well then there now, yeah. How does all this economic nightmare info mix with the rising drums of bomb bomb bomb Iran?
Will people who've been hammered and pounded by imploding housing and exploding fuel be more, or less, upset by an unprovoked attack on Iran?
Will they be more, or less, skeptical about the official bullshit justifications - yellow cake, WMD, some kind of unprovoked and deadly incident - for it if or when it comes?
Same? I don't think so.
