You're a true ideologue, Frank.

WASHINGTON ‹ For years, a Congressional hearing with Alan Greenspan was
a marquee event. Lawmakers doted on him as an economic sage. Markets
jumped up or down depending on what he said. Politicians in both parties
wanted the maestro on their side.
But on Thursday, almost three years after stepping down as chairman of
the Federal Reserve, a humbled Mr. Greenspan admitted that he had put
too much faith in the self-correcting power of free markets and had
failed to anticipate the self-destructive power of wanton mortgage
lending.

So you want to do for the environment, what the neo-liberals have done
to the banking industry. You're insane, Frank.

Meanwhile, north of La-La Land, back in the garden, rhubarb has broken
the surface of the soil, and some errant, unharvested potatoes, and
garlic are spreading out leaves.

Buckle up, and tape up a roll or two of dimes, here comes another season

The buckwheat and the rye have sprouted in the gardening beds
