R.I.P.: The U$ Dollar, the Nobel Prize, the Financial Crisis... all in one week

Its  De-valuation Stupid!

Back to Business As Usual on Wall St.

(We've even devalued the value of the financial crisis)

Death by a thousand paper cuts,  a million bad policy decisions, the $9 trillion financial bail-out (including guarantees), $700 trillion in nuclear derivatives outstanding, the Iraq War,  Vietnam Redux (aka Afghanistan), Iran,  California tanking, health care mess, deferred pension liabilities,  endless deficits, inability to create jobs etc

This week saw two major devaluations: the dollar continues is tortuous slide into oblivion in economic terms and  and stature but the Nobel Peace Prize going to a shocked Obama is pretty hard to wrap your head around. Probably the most massive unilateral devaluation in history  While getting the prize was not Obama's fault (although he probably lusted in his heart)  now it's his problem.  Hint Mr. President: read Tom Friedman's proposed peace(keepers) acceptance speech.
