		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Life happens in parallel but is experienced serially&#8221;
People and their constructs (politicians, markets, organisations, etc) can only concentrate on, react to, and cope with one thing at a time. Sadly, the planet, and physics in general, is oblivious of this constraint, which may explain much of the misery attendant on the human condition. The phrasing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Greetings Reader.
I must admit I haven&#8217;t a clue where we are. We could be on the cusp of the second dip and some global deflation. We could be on the brink of a heavy dose of inflation courtesy of the ECB joining in the QE process. My prejudices still lean towards the former.
I do not [...]]]></description>

The narrative is purely a &#8216;technical&#8217; one and does not touch on the [...]]]></description>

NORFOLK, Va.—Eleven indicted Somali  pirates dropped a bombshell in a U.S. court today, revealing that their  entire piracy operation is a subsidiary of banking giant Goldman Sachs.
There was an audible gasp in the courtroom  when the leader of [...]]]></description>

A mere burp from her innards and swathes of humanity&#8217;s economic &#8220;juggernaut&#8221; are brought to a standstill. A significant proportion of European and trans-Atlantic air traffic has been grounded by small volcano and an odd weather pattern.

The grass is always greener where the herd hasn&#8217;t trampled it.
Well, I liked it. An &#8216;AD&#8217; original &#8211; there&#8217;s more where that came from.

It doesn&#8217;t say much for our &#8216;Smart Economy&#8217; entrepreneurs that we can&#8217;t properly brand a nationally oriented and self-referential Internet campaign with the most appropriate name format.
