Sycamore damn well knows that UT knows what the Euro is. Pictures of the new money was on Image of the Day when the Euro first came out. Methinks Sycamore was also being funny. :)

Look, I'm merely trying to help a friend out with his question...ignorance is the beast that must be eliminated.

This is the second time in as many weeks that something I've said has gone over Wolf's head (The first one was the comment on Adam Zion). That's alright though...I still have much love for Wolf.

Our World-Historical Gamble

This one's making the rounds. VERY VERY long and difficult but it explains the big picture in a new way.

"What Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein have in common is that they became rich because the West paid them for natural resources that the West could simply have taken from them at will."

I'm thinking about writing a simpler version of this essay today.

bin Laden didn't get rich off of oil. He got rich because his dad got rich, and his dad got rich because his dad owned a construction empire.

I don't think the dude meant to say bin Laden; I think he meant to say al Qaeda, who gets rich from wealthy benefactors.
