Toilet bowl cleaner Alan Greenspan pontificates...again

If you thought he had silently gone into the night, he didn't. Toilet bowl cleaner Alan Greenspan's voice once again raises in forked, sybilline tones. The US is on the verge of recession, says he, at a time when it really is and can no longer hide behind the technical definition of what economics textbooks define as recession. Of course the scourer of financial toilet bowl talks of turmoil and the need to rescue the big banks that he as head of the US Fed begninly let do creative accounting to lift hefty profits out of the pockets of the poor. Of course, he is blameless and as the eternal virgin whore that he is, he can speak as though without sin. If ever a man deserves a long prison term and the penance of spreading cow shit with his hands on fallow fields, he is toilet bowl cleaner Alan Greenspan.
