...patterns imprinted on each one. During the presentation, Niisato demonstrated his approach. He first thinned out a rough shape of a vessel from which to create a more delicate shape; then he drew lines around the vessel with a traditional Japanese calligraphy pen, tilting his work on the wheel to create different patterns. As he did this, he explained that often he draws these lines freehanded, but sometimes he conceives of a pattern, such as a flower, beforehand. Once he outlined the patterns he wanted, Niisato carefully drilled holes along the lines he had made, using differently sized drill bits...
...part literally. And so, a deal: give us drugs, after a certain age - say, 80 - all drugs, any drugs we want. In return, we will give you our driver's licenses. (I mean, can you imagine how terrifying a nation of decrepit, solipsistic 90-year-old boomers behind the wheel would be?) We'll let you proceed with your lives - much of which will be spent paying for our retirement, in any case - without having to hear us complain about our every ache and reflux. We'll be too busy exploring altered states of consciousness. I even have a slogan...
...there any comedians you'd like to work with in the future? -Ansley Hayes, Dallas Phyllis Diller. I want us to do a road comedy together. And she drives.

That's my new thing. All my new films are going to cost $5, or $2 if you bring your own beer. Then we just do one a month, and you'll have Crazy Grandma at the Wheel No. 12 in theaters next July. That's the kind of stuff I'm going to be working on to fight this recession...
...denying it, although Geithner has tried - yet another giveaway to the rich and well connected. Then again, it's supposed to be. Luring smart, informed investors, who've been on the sidelines, into currently dysfunctional markets for mortgages and mortgage securities is the whole point. Some amount of wheel-greasing subsidy is needed - and the question of whether the plan offers too much is pretty much unanswerable. It will be easy to tell if it offers too little: no one will participate...
