Existentialism For Dummies
As the saying goes, there are only two things in this world you can count on—death and taxes.
But there are a whole host of things you can't.
Moving from left to right and up the unreliability continuum you have...a Chrysler, any Windows-based computer, Lindsay Lohan, Lucy holding a football, and the gold standard of all that is undependable—an Obama promise.
Well, step aside Barry, there just may be a new unreliable sheriff in town.
Yep, the elusive Eurozone bailout deal is charging hard on the outside and could nip Obama at the wire.
How many times are we going to be told one day that all parties have reached agreement (major market rally) followed the next day by disavowal of any such accord (big market sell-off)?
Has the absolute unreliability of items at the top of the continuum, such as an Obama promise or a Eurozone bailout deal, in essence made them ultra-reliable?
I'm no Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, or Sartre, but can something reach the point of being so knowably unreliable that it is actually reliable?
If so, does that mean that unreliable and predictable are not mutually exclusive?
This is mind-blowing stuff.
I'm going to run outside and into the woods to see if I hear anything when a tree falls.
Oh wait; I can't be there when it happens. Damn!
Hmm. What if I see a bear while I'm there and he craps? Boy, this is confusing.
And what If the Republican presidential nominee falls in 2012, will the country still be around to hear it?
Death, taxes...and Obama.
