rabid1stI'm sitting her working on my writing and behind me Jan has the business news on...and the foreign affairs specialist talks about the new Iraq. He says, "We must try to redirect the Economic Insurgents." The newsperson provides us the following definition:
Economic Insurgents, those people who take money and then go into an area with an explosive device and blow themselves up thus creating a lack of consumer confidence.
Didn't we used to call those people Suicide Bombers?
It is good to have the gloves off when it comes to admitting this is all about the money. Especially as this is the business news and they are talking about Iraq as an "emerging market."
Now, I need a shower. Sheesh!
