Fun While It Lasted

To put an end to a matter that had expertly inserted a right prickly burr in the writer's ass, we note that Tyler Durden has very suddenly toned his discourse right down. Note the measured tone of this piece, published to start off a new week and a new life at 9 AM Monday. The same restrained tenor reigns through today. May we suggest that among the reasons for this change in editorial policy might stand out:

1). Zero Hedge's apparent recent public expulsion from the Naked Capitalism fold with the words: ...he tends to hyperventilate, which discredits him even when he has a legitimate target. And he does not seem to know the limits of his knowledge, and will also take on (sic) issue where he does not know enough to discern what is significant and what is mere noise.*;

2). Zero Hedge's comments section having been finally and irrevocably usurped by Tila Tequila rejects.

All in all, a vast improvement. End of rant.

*Does this mean that Ms. Smith will never more link to Ambrose Evans-Pritchard? We can only hope.

Is there a website you can go to to get a phalanx of Paris Hilton lookalike followers, do you think? I'm not sure I'm capable of attracting them naturally, having only the haziest idea how to spell Laboutin, but I'd be willing to pay. Not much of course...
