Also, the same guy who couldn't figure out schedule SE, and himself has admitted that the economic models he was using couldn't predict the economy more than a month into the future, is claiming that the stimulus (oops, "spend-u-more") package is "on the right path."
With all due respect, if Geithner were to give stock tips, I think the contrarians would make a mint, if you catch my drift.

Who knew a French refugee in Switzerland got around so much?
Jacob's post is almost the dictionary definition of a non-sequitur.
I think he was building from a few posts about Calvin on the Bayly Brothers weblog that I link to. Just got confused.
I was anticipating being flayed alive (rhetorically speaking at least) for talking about the possibility that someone could indeed be too fat to do a job well. I guess I lost that one. :^)
