Paranoia Ascending, Part II
The AnchoressScene: Coffee Shop. Breakfast, approximately 7AM First man: I dunno, this stock market thing, I question the timing. Yesterday the big story was Al Gores energy-usage and suddenly the markets go crazy. Second man: That is weird - do you think someone wanted the Gore story off the front page? The whole world is paranoid. The right is as crazy as the left. And the worst part is, when I heard this fellows remarks to his companion, I stared at my breakfast and thought, wait could it be? No, of course not! Get a grip! And suddenly, I saw an image of George Soros in the grain of my toast just like one of those visions of Mary baked into a baklava. From now on, Im sticking to the baked oatmeal at home. While Im at it, Ill re-read Dick Meyer on Political Paranoia. But clearly, political paranoia is not limited to the right. Endnote: For the irony or humor challenged yes, I did hear that exchange. No, I did not see Soros in my toast. But my eggs Part I here. Posted by: Mike 2007-03-01 |
