The Airportline: Observations

So I subscribe to The Economist and I dive into the world of international politics and economics with their free trade liberal agenda all over the place every week. I enjoy it quite a lot actually, even though they have a tendency to get a bit too dogmatic about their principles at times. But even the sun has it's spots, as some might say. A section I'm enjoying more and more is 'Letters'. Here people can comment on previous stories, and Foreign Ministers and other random people that eat taxpayer money enjoy writing here as they sometimes get agitated by the dry and brute writing of the Economist journalists. Most of the letters are serious and well written, but sometimes the comments also showcase a rare bit of comedic timing. As in this weeks issue when Azmat Malik from Hillsborough Californa writes in and bashes the financial bubble with its, in his opinion, 'make beliefe prosperity.' This is a fair view to have, but it is the closing statement that earns him this post: 'Finance must be reined in like a runaway ass, or we will remain in this hole.'

Azmat, you have just won the airportline monday quote award.
