Re-Animating a Debt Dog
I have discovered that I am never, ever too drunk not to be instantly angry at the mere mention of the neo-Keynesian halfwit morons who are, despite mountains of evidence proving its complete failure, still clinging to that same, silly meth-based economic theory which I originally meant to write as "same, silly math-based economic theory" but, due to a typo, came out as "same, silly meth-based economic theory."
"Meth-based economic theory" is, of course, an accident of the keyboard, now that I think about it, but the horrors of methedrine addiction and overdoses are probably much more descriptive, and would have more impact, than the terrific editorial cartoon I had just drawn, where I had depicted an old, ugly dog, which was obviously a Frankenstein-monster that had been reanimated after being stitched together out of pieces of various other dogs, and it had bare electrical wires leading to its ugly, misshapen head, and they were making sputtering noises like "Zzzzt! Zzzzzzzzzzzt" as sparks flew spectacularly through the air, which turned into equations to indicate that this hideous monster was, indeed, math-driven.
The "dog" in the cartoon was cleverly labeled "The Economy", and it was precariously and ineffectually straddling a toilet seat, trying to take a crap in the toilet, but ended up getting it all over the bathroom and all over itself, instead.
The point of the cartoon was not, despite opinions to the contrary, about how I seem to be fixated on the lowest form of excrement-laden bathroom-humor that I defend as perfectly befitting my opinion about the Federal Reserve creating so much money that we will be destroyed by inflation in consumer prices, but about how, when you examine the cartoon itself, it shows all the neo-Keynesian quacks, like Ben Bernanke and Paul Krugman, standing around in the background celebrating their grand achievement, slapping each other on the back and shouting excitedly, "It craps all over everything!"
Of course, this fabulous pictorial allegory of mine brings up many, many questions, such as the popular, "What in the hell are you talking about?"
