MoDo finds her character
And I am entirely in agreement with her on this one.
It is the best of times, it is the worst of times.Can't you just see MoDo clacking her knitting needles as with the arrival of every fresh tumbrel she cackles. La Guillotine! La Guillotine! And wouldn't we all like to be right there beside her.
The best of times because W.’s long Reign of Error is about to end.
The worst of times because, well, you know why.
In this season of darkness, as Charles Dickens described an earlier mob scene, I’m feeling as vengeful and bloodthirsty as Madame Defarge sharpening her knitting needles at the guillotine.
I even felt a little thrill go up my leg, as Chris Matthews would put it, when I heard that the Lehman Brothers C.E.O., Richard Fuld, got punched in the company gym after it was announced that the firm was going under.
I can’t wait to see the tumbrels rumble up and down Wall Street picking up the heedless and greedy financial aristocracy that plundered and sundered free-market capitalism.
