You know you're in trouble when Old Europe chastises you for being too socialist. But, hey, nobody's perfect — except maybe Michelle Obama, who landed in London with a huge Obama entourage, wearing a daffodil yellow dress and looking like a confident ray of U.S.A. sunshine.
As President Obama renegotiates the terms of American leadership this week in Europe, those of us left at home struggle to get over our affluenza. That condition, the bane of the middle class, is defined in a book of the same name as "a painful, contagious, socially transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety and waste resulting from the dogged pursuit of more."...
I heard a French scientist on a radio show once explain that Americans would always insist on supersizing things because our "reptilian brain" likes things big. We're still big, as Norma Desmond said. It's everything around us that's collapsing and shrinking....
That's the big nettle we're grasping. How big do we need to be to still feel American? How big can our national debt grow? How big can our cars be? And how big is our clout abroad these days? Will Michelle's style in Europe make as big a splash as Carla Bruni-Sarkozy's?
The cowboy push by W. and Dick Cheney to be a hyperpower and an empire left America a weakened and tapped-out power, straining to defend its runaway capitalism even as it uneasily adapts to its desperation socialism.
How do we come to terms with the gluttony that exploded our economy and still retain our reptilian American desire for living large? How do we make the pursuit of the American dream a satisfying quest rather than a selfish one?...

Just to keep it real
Your options:
A) Be squeezed out of the car like a tube of toothpaste.
B) Be crushed inside the car like an aluminum can.
Every sort of safety device adds weight to the car and reduces gas mileage efficiency.

Anyone who is considering buying this “car” should be forced to watch “The Critical Hour” and “Trauma: Life in the ER”.
A heated philosophical struggle began, resulting in The Great Lucianne Exodus and the establishment of Lucianne.com. Jim Robinson wished them all good luck in their endeavors and to this day still posts banner links to what is variously referred to as L.com. Lucianne.com and I Love Lucy.
I thought it was spelled "Isle Of Lucy" :D
