Prosperous AND Subversive. I LIKE it!

The Stoopid People now in power in the U.S. will push “change” and create chaos. In change and chaos there is opportunity – we just have to figure out how to profit from the chaos, and where to hide the proceeds.

Happy Prosperous and Subversive New Year to all.

Julie, I think you would be a “Samisdatistette”.

–Well, but why was it decided that that is the correct term? I tend to assume it’s a parallel with “Sandinistas.” But if so, why don’t we say “Randistas” instead of “Randists” (I prefer “Randites” or even “Randians” –not quite the same thing as “Objectivists,” by the way–myself, but that’s just me) or “Trotskyistas” instead of “Trotskyists”?

The owner of Samizdata and his appointed lieutenants, of course, properly have the final say on what their group-name is…so, I’m just sayin.’ And as he has posted the posish above for all to see, from now on I shall behave myself.

–At least on that issue. :>))

and the same to you and all Samisdatistas (if that’s the correct term)

It is indeed the correct term.

Prosperous and subversive! I don't know which would be better. Thanks for the fine wish, and the same to you and all Samisdatistas (if that's the correct term).

And indeed, I hope that 2013 brings health and happiness to every Samizdatist and friend who roams round these parts.

Happy New Year to everyone! :>)))

A very happy new year to all.

As it’s past midnight Babylon time, I am given to understand that I have now fallen off a cliff. I shall now cease wondering why I spent much of today looking to see whether politicians had found a “solution” to an imaginary problem of their own manufacture and learn to enjoy drinking in free-fall.
