The Humbug Express
By PAUL KRUGMAN
Hey, has anyone noticed that “A Christmas Carol†is a dangerous leftist tract?
I mean, consider the scene, early in the book, where Ebenezer Scrooge rightly refuses to contribute to a poverty relief fund. “I’m opposed to giving people money for doing nothing,†he declares. Oh, wait. That wasn’t Scrooge. That was Newt Gingrich — last week. What Scrooge actually says is, “Are there no prisons?†But it’s pretty much the same thing.
Anyway, instead of praising Scrooge for his principled stand against the welfare state, Charles Dickens makes him out to be some kind of bad guy. How leftist is that?
I would love poured concrete in bright white. LOVE IT. Saw it once on tv and fell head over heels for it. Other than absolute black, I’ve never seen a granite that I liked.

I put granite in my tenants kitchen. Now I have to redo my kitchen. The original built-in has soapstone, and I really like them.
DIBS, have a good trip
Sounds like you are headed in the right direction Dave. DOWN WITH GRANITE! 🙂
MC, dibs.
I particularly dislike granite that looks like this:

Looks like the damn counters have monkey pox or something.
Time to hit the road. leaving the house with granite countertops and headed to the one with soapstone.
H, Snappy.
Howdy Arkady and RF 🙂
