UFF DA!

Let's pour another Glug and toast each other "Skoal!". That's the way Norwegians do it. And it appears we're all looking very Scandinavian lately.

No, not in the way that appealed to Hitler.. Instead, I'm talking about the comparison many analysts are now making between our current financial mess the Scandinavian Economic melt down of the early 1990's.

According to the Norges, Swedes, and Fins, the way out of this is basically Socialism. (And even then we're looking at a legitimate half-decade recession).

Which would be better of course, than the full on, Japan-style Lost-Decade. (Made worse by the procrastination and inaction of their Government).

In other news, video game sales are expected to stay strong as folks stay home in an attempt to get the most bang for their entertainment buck.

"Uh, Hi. My name is Sue, and I am a recovering Grand Theft Auto junkie..."

Video Games? Great.

Every time a new GTA video game is announced my pits start to drip (coldly, down my shanks) as I recall the college semester I lost playing "GTA: 3". And the time I quit my job for "Vice City".

I thought were trying to avoid the lost Decade, not veer (from the couch, with sore thumbs) towards it...

On the other hand, maybe this is just the thing America needs to reestablish its core values.
