Mark Steyn calls this “the dead parrot” economy, after the Monty Python “Dead Parrot” sketch. Despite the apologists for the Flatline Administration constantly ranting about how the economy is really and truly out of a recession, (No, this time we really mean it! Really!) businesses still aren’t hiring. This report shows why, and with what suspicious timing, the jobs aren’t there.
“It’s not pining, it’s passed on! It’s rung down the curtain and joined the Choir Invisible! This, is an ex-economy!”
WWII veteran Jack Leroy Tueller tells a story of one night in France after D-Day. He was an Army Air Corps pilot who was spending his first night there, while a German sniper kept shooting at him and the others at the makeshift airstrip. He was a trumpet player who carried his trumpet with him all through the war, and still has it and plays it to this day. He played “Lili Marlene” in order to persuade the sniper to stop firing. Watch these all the way through.
The power of music, indeed.
