I saw an interesting story the other day about a Brazilian Supermodel who just signed a contract with an agency, and in the contract stipulated that she be paid only in Euros. Apparently she's not alone in her demands to not take dollar-denominated payment, preferring the Euro instead thanks to out Idiot Bastard Tax-cutting Fuckhead Preznit.

Now for those of you who have stuck with me through my ups and downs, perhaps you'll remember this which I wrote a while ago. I have been "going on" about the 1600 Crew's fical policies as a matter of true National Security for a long time, no one really seemed to care much which I always thought was interesting... I guess that minutae like that are only interesting on a wonk level, but now it's starting to take it's toll as we become the most leveraged country in the history of the world and our currency is becoming as irrelevant as our Beloved Leader.

Imminent Collapse Ahead? No, but electing a republican who will continue us on this path will surely lead us there. I have heard none of them save Ron Paul even express the slightest doubts that the destructive policies of the last seven years need to be maintained and even expanded on...and other than Paul's anti-war and fiscal rhetoric there's nothing in that man's talking points that moves him out of the way-right wingnutosphere, sorry Ron.
