Just a heads-up that our lead correspondent will be/ was in Brussels for the next/past week (depending on where you are on the time-space continuum), hob-nobbing with the EU and seeing what they can do to help shore-up his investment account.
Apparently, not much.
(Editor's note-- No, Jim from Arkansas, "hob-nobbing" does not mean what you implied it did)
(Editor's redux- er, um, not as far as we know... he has made several trip to Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic as well. Should we be concerned?)
(Editor take three-- not that there's anything wrong with that. Although we are concerned that that may be a side effect of the socialism that will undoubtedly rub off on him)
(Your friendly neighborhood editor again-- No, Bob from Maine, "Rub off" does not imply... can you hold?)
