I don't know what time it is in France, I must confess. But Sarkozy just announced that "GDP should no longer be a measure of wealth." I saw this with mine own eyes on the oracle known as "CNBC Europe." Wherever the fuck THAT is...

No shit.

Now, who is going to come forth and announce that "wealth should no longer be a measure of happiness"?? Or the meaning of life??

I am not sure whether M. Sarkozy is a follower of Bush, Obama, or any of the lesser demons or angels. In his picture, accompanying this brave announcement, he looked worried. Or is that just me?

If he had a nice pair of Triangles or Focals (contributing, unbeknownst to him, to his country's GDP as we speak), driven by any nice tube amp, driven in turn by some nice vinyl, and crankin' out some happy tunes, he wouldn't have to worry about any of this grandiose bullshit.

And, somehow, we could all feel a bit safer...

Hey. I just got an idea. Instead of buying these guys expensive whores, why don't we all chip in and by them nice stereos, and give them gift cards at Acoustic Sounds for some nice tunes? It would surely be cheaper in the long run...
