This means war

Niall Ferguson, a Harvard financial whiz kid and Debbie Downer, is on the cover of today's Globe and Mail online edition, with yet another financial doomsday forecast. This time he's eager to report that the "prolonged financial crisis" could even result in Civil War.


This makes the second time in two days that I've actually heard someone talk about the possibility of Civil War in the media.

Has Niall Ferguson been watching too much TV?

Yesterday one of my smarty pants, politically savvy writers, sent me the link to Glenn Beck's War Room. It's a Fox news report that tacitly acknowledge the rise of the militia movement in the US and, in a series of reports, shows how several war game worst case scenarios might play out.

Watch this if you want to know what people are watching at home now that they're laid off.

But in positive news...I've won two coffees in Roll Up The Rim To Win.
