    FDR, I think. Nixon nixed Bretton Woods.

    You're right. My mistake.

    I think of Muldoon every time those words come up. He often wondered aloud about the good it might do the world to have a "new Bretton Woods." He'd probably be getting a bit of media mileage today (and putting the boot in to sundry monetarists) if he were still around.

    None taken Paul. Because really, it's my wife's.

    Andrew, sorry; I am just depping for Craig today.

    Heh. Thought exercise for the week. If Muldoon were PM today, what would he have done about the financial crisis? Probably froze house prices a decade ago...

  • JohnAmiria,

    The other night Amy was wearing her hair up and with her reading glasses on. "Wow, you almost look like Sarah Palin, I remarked." She silently looked at me, removed her hair clip, did somthing slightly different to her hair and ouila! there it was, perfect Palin (but many years younger). I shuddered.

    Yeah, but even so you then proceeded to have the nastiest sex you've had in a long time, right? You called her "Sarah", and she used words they don't use in god fearin' Alaska and ...

    uh ... um ... I'll go stand in the corner now, my bad.

    CER with Iceland.

    A 50 billion dollar carbon sink machine (we can rent it to China!) to be built by hand next to Motonui.

    Hey, Paul is Depp-ing, and it's for Craig, the lucky bastard.

    I got told I looked like Palin on Facebook a couple of days ago. I think this covers pretty much any brunette with glasses now.

    Or got Deputy PM Winston to see if he could hustle a few million off Owen Glen?

    If he's where I think he is, he'll have plenty of opportunity to do just that...

    Actually, he's probably knifed Satan in the back by now. Taken over the whole show.

    I can just see him with a pitchfork, cloven hooves, and going Heh Heh Heh as the next batch of the damned arrived.

    See you do.

    And we want those hands where we can see them.

    He and Friedman spend all day bench pressing anvils, buffing themselves and counting the days 'til Maggie gets there.

    ahem.

    There is (naturally*) a Sarah Palin-based porn film now called "__Who's Naillin' Palin?__" Srsly. I've not seen it but hopefully there's a Joe the Plumber reference.

    *There's probably an Obama one too.

  • Islander,

    Andrewll. - dont forget those well-fed comestibles, entirely unaware of our ways, called 'loopies." With suitable persuasion (lotsa wine) they even dig their own umukai-
