Today's Happy Thought

When I was a wee sprog (that's age 9, in this case), I listened to an album quite frequently with much adoration. Years later, as an adult, I sought to add the cd version of this album to my collection, but my searches were in vain. Periodically, I would look for it, but I did not find it.

At last, the CD is available! My inner child is positively squealing with joy!

Actually, it was available in 1990. But hell, I was still in college then, and did not trifle with such picayune pursuits of my childhood!

And soon, this shall be mine:



I've missed these songs:
1. Wynken, Blynken And Nod
2. Jelly Man Kelly
3. Be With Me
4. Blueberry Pie
5. Share
6. One Good Turn
7. I Want A Horse
8. The Sailor And The Mermaid
9. Pajamas
10. A Friend For All Seasons
11. I Have A Song
12. In Harmony

Man exploiting man

Work today was marginally productive. I did get in a good visit to the gym, which was much needed. Upon arrival to my humble domicile, I fed the little predators and flicked on HBO. "Down With Love" was on, starring Ewen McGregor and Renee Zellweiger. The movie was largely terrible if you try to take it seriously. Since I didn't, I was rather amused.

Ewen is still hot.

While that hummed in the background, I was surfing the Wikipedia, reading up on the Bernanke, the nominee for the Fed, on supply-side economics, and on John Kenneth Galbraith.

I came across this quote by Galbraith:

"Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite."

Hah! It makes me laugh heartily. Why, oh why, had I not heard this quote before?
