Psychiatrists have warned that a bad economy can actually have an adverse condition on your mental health.
Just how adverse, you ask. Well, it can bring on wild mood swings.
You're a Republican, say, and you're normal mood is one of anti-New Deal, anti-Great Society, anti-regulatory, anti-government intervention in the economy.
But under extreme toxic asset-related stress, you're suddenly a socialist!
Mental health officials refer to it as bipolarpartisanship.
But, fear not, there is a cure.
Just try a nice Swedish massage.
I just took a 5 mile walk, listening to politics the whole time. I didn't hear ONE compelling argument from the right--and I listened to "Left, Right and Center" and George Stephanopoulos--so there was plenty of righties to listen to.
ReplyDeleteI like they way they completely disregard HOW we got into this mess, as if they had nothing to do with it.
Oh, I hear a lot of compelling arguments from the Right. For instance, last night on Hardball I heard a Republican congressman--sorry, I can't remember his name--blame the financial meltdown on liberal billionaire (his word, not mine; nothing against billionaires, but they usually don't get that way worrying about class inequities) George Soros. George Soros! He didn't explain how, but I was DEEPLY, DEEPLY interested in learning.
ReplyDeleteSo, yeah, it was a compelling argument from the right--just right of the planet Mars.
