Ledes & Limericks. Wednesday February 7 2018



The bizness plan for papers is to outsource all the chores
To sweat shop enterprises on exotic tropic shores.

When you outsource reporters and the photogs of the news
You get a cheaper story and homogenized world views.

Artisan reporting may be pricey, but at least
You know it comes directly from the belly of the beast!



I want to relax at the beach --
From worry to be out of reach.
To count ev’ry grain
In sunshine or rain,
And never to hear human speech.


It’s automated trading that done in the Wall Street mob --
Those crazy algorithms caused the toughest ones to sob.
As pension plans collapsed and cowards sold their mess of pottage,
The frenzy reached across the globe with super duper wattage.
But now financial seas are heaving less and less away --

Cuz Wall Street widgets want to toy with us another day . . .
