Our learnéd colleague, The Revered Investment Guru [The R.I.G.], has provided both the word of the week and the kernel of today’s reflections. The word is “Coulrophobia” and means “An extreme fear of clowns.” The R.I.G. says the stock market is afraid of the clowns in Washington. The American public also has this fear, with the Bush Approval rating sunk to 30%, and the Congress (both parties) even worse. So, we need not talk today about Stateside trashings of the budget or Constitution or norms of civilized behavior. Instead, we consider living on the small island of Anguilla, and ask whether life here is truly less complex than up North. The answer, in the best U.S. Senatorial manner, is both Yes and No. [Please do not ask The OO to run for U.S. President, although he is more qualified than some we could name.]
