Ugh Tries to Understand

 If you’re a boneheaded Neanderthal like me, Wall Street news make head hurt. Crit no Stone Age brain surgeon. But here’s more rocket science.

Betsy Newmark’s caveman, one smart Homo Sapiens, paints it easy to see on his cave wall. Crit notes “Boston” has something to do with it, and is not surprised. Boston is a great cave place that should keep its politics and policies to itself. Betsy has more, easy enough for even a Neanderthal to understand. Turns out some people want cave easy, big chiefs say OK, easy easy, a cave in every pot. Unscrupulous cavemen hold a big potlatch with other people’s clams. A lot of bad clams in that pile. Then the whole thing caves in. Now chiefs argue, try to blame it on other chiefs. Chiefs say we need more taboos. Cave values headed down that back of the cave place where … you know. Whole thing gonna cost you a lotta clams. Got it?

Meanwhile, my cave neighbor Michael Graham whacks Barney Frank with a big club.
