Art of the Day: My own photo from the midnight mass on Christmas Eve at Notre Dame in Paris. The lights just took a life of their own, expressing the evervescent and effusive spirit the Cathedral emanated that eve of Christmas Day, marrying solemnity to spirituality in the soul of the evening, as the parishioners gathered in this celebration of God in stone, that I can still feel with just a glance at this photo of what I could not quite grasp at the time.
Wisdom of the Day: "So if you toe the party line and don’t question the money thing, then you can have a great career as an economist, as a professor of economics." Richard Werner.
Recommendation of the Day: The Princes of the Yen. The work that put him on the dissident map, Richard Werner's explication of how Japan's economy could invest billions overseas with inflating housing bubbles at home, without major foreign capital flows in -- namely, the banks created the money, the secret the central planners fought so long to hide.
