Apparently TED has been anointed a charter member of the "Econoblogosphere." Thanks, Felix.
It is certainly flattering to be included in such eminent company, and I suppose I should not look a gift horse in the mouth, but I worry a little for some of Felix's readers who come to this site with no preparation other than his brief characterization. After all, he lumps your Tetchy Correspondent in with "The Finance Geeks," whom he describes as "translating Wall Street gobbledegook into English." Faithful Readers of this site know rather that my aim and design is to translate Wall Street gobbledegook into English gobbledegook. Besides, I think it would be much more fun to be sitting in the back row throwing spitballs with "The Snickerers." If only they could learn how to spell.
Oh, well. Do not despair, Dear Readers: the newbies will soon leave, bedazzled and befuddled, and we will have our limited-distribution blogo-nicheo-microsphere back to ourselves. Just remember our watchwords: turbid and orotund. Pass them on.
