Listened today on the radio briefly to commentary on how liberals were comparing Obama to Jesus Christ and engaging in idol worship as they tried to wipe out Christianity. The only prayer I say to Obama is for bankruptcy based mortgage modification having taken out a half page ad in the yellowbook for next year. I thought this was an interesting demonstration of black and white thinking and wondered at all the empty small churches around demonstrating this crisis as they retreated to massive edifices with coffeeshops and dedicated daycare for protection against the liberals. I also wonder were all the readers have gone given the shrinking number of small bookshops.

As Obama took I office I noticed the DOW was flirting with the important 8000 level. I think this represents exactly how deep the systemic problems now run. However, unlike the great depression, our government is directly turning on massive economic stimulus before the problem gets out of hand. Many point to Japan?s malaise as evidence this doesn?t work, but Japan has a massive shrinking demographic absent here where the population is growing at a steady low rate due to immigrants performing useful functions like nurses, doctors, and salespeople, though some go to law school and become a burdensome leach on society, which is something that should only be done by unfocused WASP?s.

In fact why don?t we make all the lawyers retake the bar and make the lower ¼ go to nursing school. I?m game. I like tests.

Lavoro?s has reportedly taken my pizza comments to heart and I plan to rereview eventually. Went back to Old Venice and while the cheesesteak?s had slipped I noticed it apparently had acquired a really happening bar scene.

Speaking of bar food, the notables so far are Kudzu?s for bacon cheeseburgers, Flying Saucer for Pretzels, Young Avenue for the fries and a generally all around solid fare except for the cheese logs which while admirable attempt at bigness are simply too big to become appropriately gooey through and through.

Speaking of Memphis. I?m over my first year infatuation. While I still don?t think its quite as bad as often accused, it?s a bit of a drag. I find its somewhat insular and for some reason everyone is hanging out with their high school friends. Read on quick facts on the us census data that above 26 with bachelor?s degree is only 20% as opposed to 30% in Dallas or Nashville.
