Before I take off for a little-deserved holiday, I'd like to solve two world crises. Firstly, inflation from diseased pork is threatening the Chinese stock market bubble.
A disease killing millions of pigs in China has sharply lifted the price of pork, the country's staple meat, fuelling fears about inflation and prompting calls from Beijing's top leadership for increased production of the meat.
If the Chinese implode then they can no longer sell their own currency to buy dollars. If they can't buy US dollars, they won't be investing those greenbacks in Treasury bonds, which means the end of free credit/the housing market. The solution to this can be found in Alabama of all places:
The second world issue involves the terrible way the world press has misconstrued Paul Wolfowitz's disastrous, idiotic tenure at the World bank as disastrous and idiotic.
The outgoing president of the World Bank, Paul Wolfowitz, has told the BBC an "overheated" atmosphere at the bank and in the media forced him to resign.
This simply won't do. In this case, I suspect we could learn much from the way our Eastern cousins deal with corruption and dishonor:
TOKYO - A scandal-tainted minister in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s cabinet has committed suicide, media reported on Monday,
and I'd insist Paul use a katana.
