...worry about that until the Fed's next FOMC board meeting in January. For now, Greenspan rates a gushy Christmas card for helping the rest of the world get through an economic crisis that, so far, Americans have only read about.

Even the ostensibly non-religious--or those who are privately religious but feel that religion has no place in politics--still play the "God card," as evidenced by President Clinton's well-choreographed visits to church (arm-in-arm with Hillary) whenever he finds himself in yet another crisis. So we are left with the supreme conceit. Politicians wag their fingers at those who act out of religious conviction, yet dutifully put their hands together...
