Eugene David<br>...The One-Minute Pundit

Elsewhere in CloudCuckooLand, Mr. My Business is My Business daydreams of a time when men like the Great Big Financier with the Great Big Sexy Carbuncled Nose could singlehandedly cure America's economic problems at four in the morning, conveniently neglecting that 1907 was toward the tag end of Teddy's run -- you know, the communist who uttered that obscenity about "malefactors of great wealth." A certain con-SER-va-tive's idea of a hero is the Jay Gould and Jim Fisk (or KennyBoy, or Rigas) who can get away with anything, presumably because said con-SER-va-tive would be lucky enough to be in his inner circle, making millions like Mr. My Business, writing with quill pens and smoking big fat cigars, maybe 20 of them, or whatever effete snobs smoke. His idea of a great leader is Andrew Mellon, who happily did nothing during his term in office -- indeed he did so much of nothing that he left the job in 1932 with nearly every fourth person unemployed and his reputation in tatters. Ah, but we must NEVER let government solve ANY problem, must we, Mr. My Business!

P. S.

"Liquidate labor, liquidate stocks, liquidate the farmers, liquidate real estate. Purge the rottenness of the system. High costs of living and high living will come down. People will work harder, live a more normal life. Values will be adjusted, and enterprising people will pick up the wrecks from less competent people."

Good idea, Biz. Shall we try it again?
