The Holblow/CT/unfogged’s hit appears to have been successful. Or at least they got Emerson the Malefactor locked down somewhere, with Nurse Ratched keeping the thorazine pumpin’.

Ave atque vale, JE.

Emerson didn’t hit the streets, Pz. He’s fucked up, but not that fucked up–and he would still have had library access, and library box. Ergo, he’s either like locked down–as in psychiatric watch, sedated, deep inside some state or Fed clinic, seriously down on thorazine or mellaril or somethin’–or broke on through to the other side, like whacked. One other slight possibility: he fakes his death, ala Morrison, maybe for ID theft, or insurance purposes.

I just had a flash from something in the news. Among other things, the present crash has a social-psychological cause: the human error was randomly distributed among individuals, but was distributed according to a pattern of excessive optimism.

I was just wondering whether this has been called distributed stupidity yet.

The last three sentences of this post are the definitive statement of the era. If you’d come up with them five years ago, and learned to say them with a straight face, you’d have your own show on CNBC.
