And in Appalachia, fat people are considered ‘kindly chuffy’ and Santy Claus comes down the chimley.

And Brian, little Alan Price probably had it right:

i

When there’s a bluebird singing by your window pane
And the sun shines bright all day through
Don’t forget boy
Look over your shoulder
‘Cause there’s always someone coming after you (la la la la)

When everything in life seems just as it should be
At last success seems just around the door
Don’t forget boy
Look over your shoulder
‘Cause things don’t stay the same forever more (la la la la)

Hope springs eternal in a young man’s breast
And he dreams of a better life ahead
Without that dream you are nothing, nothing, nothing
You have to find out for yourself that dream is dead (la la la la)

Yes, let's all move to Singapore, where everything is right. As Friedman says in his op-ed column today. Even around here I'm seeing a lot of scowly faces. I can't scowl because I am congenitally optimistic and good natured. It's a character defect of mine.
