If You Don't Pat Yourself on the Back, Nobody Will

Dude points out HERE that the Post Office "crisis" is one created by Congress that can be easily avoided.

Looks like everyone's catching on to what I wrote wrote almost three years ago about companies taking advantage of bad economic times to dump their payrolls even if it's not necessary.  Of course, the post office being filled with evil, socialist public workers makes it different I suppose.

Also today HERE Yglesias points out that lenders should be blamed when things go tits up, not the borrower, since "When bankers sit down with borrowers to discuss loans, it’s the lender who’s putting himself forward as a highly trained highly compensated expert in the field of lending money. If it goes bad, it’s because the allegedly expert lender has turned out to be bad at his job."

Which is the same thing I wrote HERE two and a half years ago.

Sigh.  Sometimes I wish I was as handsome as I am brilliant.  "But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), “You ARE that handsome!!!"

I know I know, but I'm trying to pull off looking humble here.  And it's not easy.
