SinCronyCity

or the Un-Try-Pod?

Well, not exactly.

The Un-Pun?

Just in case there is any question, I love humor and a lot of other things.
But this* is serious.

The original inspiration was a missing link, in regards to an article on a potential Fed Stimulus or QE3, which I had printed out and carried around before misplacing(unless I have embedded it somewhere) associated with the Krugman's Bernanke's Perry Problem in the New York Times with the synchronicity triggered by the Brian Morton piece.(a link on the same virtual page) Not that I believe there are any acausal events, especially in** economics, politics or religion.

*not the point but see bold links

[Oh what a mug we weave...
Fed's Ben Bernanke opens door to further economic stimulusFederal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke tells Congress that he expects no quick improvement in the weak job market, and says the central bank is prepared to take steps to aid the economy if necessary. But he suggests nothing is imminent.
...not to dis Krugman but discuss Perry.]

[No synchronicity? Robert Reich*** on Martin Bashir.]
*** link not there yet (OK NOW) [Not to mention: Dylan Ratigan on Social Media Trending Dangerously [8-31-11 link found], Bingo on Hardball, with Eugene Robinson, and retro Last Word. But actually while I am waiting, the president's jobs plan will probably be more of the same, and it should be, more of everything he compromised on and the Republicans blocked.]

Bursting a Bubble.

Wind Energy vs NG
Pyramid Power?

Wind and Solar seem to be Natural Goods. Rising energy prices are seen as an incentive for alternatives. If you need rising natural gas prices to make wind or solar affordable it seems that there may be something wrong. Rising gax prices have not made nuclear affordable? I know there is no direct link there. But I must say the that it seems like bubble headed thinking. Now it may not be all about frackin' but there do seem to be risks to the environment. But the bubble I am talking about is the economic impact of any policy. Environmental impact is a cost that must be accounted for out of profits not as a cost of being at the bottom.

[A similar* pop or thought? * I am not sure where I may have misplaced the latter, but I did run into the author of the former.]

Deficit Pigeons?

Not Exactly Doves or Hawks.
And I am not talking target practice,
but Andrea Mitchell Reports,
with David Walker* of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.

*not yet intended link** nor pun on running, other than nuanced flights

**David Walker discusses:[***] not all tax breaks are equal, nor spending cuts
[Nor are all associations equal when it comes to policy issues and positions. i.e. being concerned about the deficit, does not mean being against stimulus, not to mention what foundation or relationships one has.]
[***] 7-27-10: Avian Update MSNBC has yet to include the David Walker exchange under Andrea Mitchell Reports.
