Alan Greenspan, 94 years young and still a pain in the ass, has some words of, well, they’re definitely, you know, words! Here are some of them:
China’s current success is happening at a time when the United States sometimes looks as if it has lost its way. America’s politics have taken a populist turn. America sometimes seems to be unhappy with the global institutions (the IMF, the World Bank, the WTO, and even NATO) that it fathered and did so much to reinforce its power in the twentieth century.
Ya think, Alan, ya think? “the United States sometimes looks as if it has lost its way”? “America sometimes seems to be unhappy with the global institutions … that it fathered”? Could you be any more ballless? Huh?
Don’t you really mean “Donald Trump is a total fucking idiot and I wish to God that dumb-ass Hillary Clinton had won the election so I could piss all over her and all the rest of the Goddamn Democrats who want to spend all of my Goddamn money”? Isn’t that what you’re really trying to say, you Goddamn fat-ass Republican, who sat on his fat ass instead of rallying all of his Goddamn rich Republican friends to, yes, endorse Hillary Clinton for president when it would have mattered, instead of waiting four years after the fact to mumble and groan about, well, something. Go move to Switzerland, where you belong, you fat-ass son of a bitch, and spend the rest of your life counting your money and leave us honest folk alone.
Also wise (wise and ballless) after the fact, Colin Powell.
Afterwords
For those few born after 1955, I’ll explain that, back in the Carter years—the Jimmy Carter years—a Philadelphia newspaper prepared a headline for an editorial endorsing Carter’s proposals for something or other regarding the environment bearing the headline “All Must Share the Burden”. During editing, some “wag” substituted the gag head “More Mush From the Wimp”, which made it into print. The Washington Post ran a funny editorial with the head “All Must Share the Burden”, expatiating on the dangers of that formidable oxymoron known as “newspaper humor” and how the Post guarded against it.
