Going by Barry Ritholtz's theory that magazine covers are a contrary indicator, I predict that Time's current cover on Jamestown means there won't be any more major Jamestown commemorations for, say, a century.

I'm currently working very hard on my column for the next issue, which explains the lack of posting today.

    Wow. "The Man?"

    You make it sound as though you're working in a coal mine or something. Does Time have a company store too?
