Americans should be glad. The rest of the world can get on with hating China instead! Welcome to Earth Americans!

Not to worry, China might fall apart with the rest of us!

The Blame Game
Historians will be scratching their heads for centuries attempting to figure out how and why the greatest Superpower that ever existed became a Banana Republic. They will not find the answer in current books such as The Coming China Wars, The Black Swan, America's Bubble Economy or The Quants. No, no, no. Too simple. The root cause is people, incompetent liberals as well as conservatives. At a time when government needs the best and the brightest, we have the worst and the stupidest (sic). The opposite of a meritocracy, call it a mental midgetocracy.
http://www.newsweek.com/2010/09/27/w...ally-mean.html http://www.harpercollins.com/books/1...=9780060856120 Have a laugh. This is Friday. When I think of Nero and Sarah Palin, I have more favorable thoughts about the former. Let me be the first to predict that Saraw (sic) will be the next president of the USA. Sweet nightmares. |

What any of this has to do with a store in a mall I have no idea.

I always found banana republic's clothing a little too pricey for me.

$30-$50 usd for a tank top at the BR in the mall? Forget it! It better be embellished with Patron and dark chocolate with caramel filling for that! Unlimited supply.
Of course, I'm a fan of the discount shops. Saving my money for more important things. (I was going to say "like books," but the reality is "like rent!") |

I am the cheapest of cheapskates (except one friend who is worse). I feel ripped of unless I get a really great bargain. It has to be SPECIAL for me to pay more than $10 for a tank top. |

You saw it first on MobileRead
![]() http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/07/op...07kristof.html Here is another blog on reasons why the USA is going to hell in a flaming tarball: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...Tabs%3Darticle Among the 1000+ comments attached to this blog are posts justifying Sarah Palin's right to be a ditz. Those who are sensitive to heated arguments and derisive language should avoid combing through the comments. They lack civility. It's not what you would normally expect of people reading the online content of the Wall Street Journal. What is becoming of the world? We spend 90% of our time arguing with one another.
