Maggie’s Farm:
There’s a monotonous feel to the interaction between the stock market and government these days. A government hack says something dumb, and the market tumbles. The only adult left in the room, Ben Bernanke, will appear in some forum and talk a little sense. First the market stabilizes, and then jumps. Lather, rinse, repeat. […]

I shouldn’t go back to bed. When I do, I awake in a fog and stay that way. Oh well. I don’t think I’ll be making a trip to the Texas Roadhouse later for ribs. Too foggy.
