Yuan To Feel Good About This

(Or, as I always say, no matter what kind of day you’re having or how hard it may be raining outside, it’s never an occasion to avoid a really bad play on words.)

Matt Singer, guest blogging for David Sirota, has a good post about China deciding to un-peg (word?) its currency against the dollar (let’s see what that does for our economy, though I think this is the economic equivalent of sending in some charwomen to clean up after the bombing of Dresden in WWII…think about it). He also slams “The Governator,” currently commanding a rip-roaring popularity rating of 34 percent in Kaa-Lee-Fuurr-Neee-Aahh.

(Knowing how badly he’s sliding, I wonder if Ahh-nold has been on the phone in negotiations with James Cameron for the next “Predator,” movie, where he has to fight a jungle beast that has mysteriously vanished but inexplicably turns up inside the remains of the Titanic? I can just imagine what kind of big summer movie “box office” that would do, and of course, Celine Dion would sing the movie’s “love theme.”)
