I AM ALWAYS pleasantly surprised to discover a pearl among the heap of dreary emails hustling weight-loss programs (as seen on Oprah) skin-care and other non-essentials for a man of my age. It was sent by a creative guitar-playing relative in California who shares my views on this year's presidential campaign. He wrote this verse in another moment of cynical despair, but it can be sung brightly to the tune of Sidewalks of New York.
Wall street, main street
All around the town
The fed cut interest rates daily
The economy's falling down
Banks and Lehman's together
Me and my 401k
Trip the light fantastic
While John will cut taxes today.
The economy is on everybody's mind these days with the possible exception of the McCain campaign, which says its wants to change the subject. Oh?
