European Tribune - BP CEO: oil markets will save us
After 30 years of voodoo economics, we get this sad "all is well, we'll save you if you lower our taxes" gambit and it will be seen as the height of seriousness.

Can we have a [Lower Taxes - Clap Louder!] alert?

I got three sentences into this and thought 'So where's the pitch for lower taxes?'

Serious People are nothing if not predictable.

What's the clapping about?

When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes

Tinker Bell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barrie's fairies are dependent on the belief of others to survive. In one famous scene, she is dying, but will survive if enough people believe in fairies. In the play the characters make a plea to the children watching to sustain her by shouting out "I believe in fairies," and clapping, an example of "breaking the fourth wall."


Wait this is important. Someone is wrong on the Internet.
