London Banker: "The market has failed, and officialdom is perpetuating that failure."

The overall financial problem isn’t just a systemic financial crisis, but rather a cultural crisis. America is fresh out of new, profound ideas. Look at Broadway. Listen to the radio. Read the flabby fiction about familial dysfunction. Hollywood is obsessed with making comic books for adults. Critics are duped into critiquing them as if they’re meaningful. Hip-hop, an innovative force that long ago ran out of vigor, still holds sway.
Everywhere you look, everywhere you listen, everywhere you read, you see plastic and artifice. New York’s a shadow of its former self, and will, along with the paper that brought us the Iraqi war — the NY Times — fall hard. L.A. is the capital of derivative schlock. Chicago’s ruled by an egotistical, corrupt governor. And worse, the Neocon Hillary Clinton is getting ready to rule the world. Meanwhile, rural America is waiting for the End Times.
Hey terrorists of the world, you can take off during ’09 and read a few good books, for America is doing a damn fine job of destroying itself.
