BAGNewsNotes, my favorite political images blog, has a solid post up about the particular darkness of our current recession. (click here for that.)

While the related slideshow (click here) is almost unwatchable in its pathos, it is a worthwhile moment of discomfort. One wonders why declining stock prices continue to be the symbol of this extended and painful recession. A solid reminder that "loosing everything" can mean something more profound than weaker than expected annual profits. Props to John Moore at Getty for that.

I promise my next post will be more hilarious Korea anecdotes. As you can see, my mind is elsewhere at the moment...
