Euroweenie Alert! In the Guardian (natch) something called Will Hutton is peddling its new book by retailing the the thesis that "behind the crisis in corporate America is a combination of pernicious Southern conservatism and unadulterated greed." Will hopes fervently that Europe will not be contaminated and that America will come to its senses. America hopes Will will pick up the clue phone when it rings.

Durn! I knew all along it was the climate of excess inspired by the Southern Sinkmeister, Bubba Clinton. Those Southerners, they're everywhere!
