So that's finally over with
Here's the new Time (available on newsstands tomorrow) with the story that's been keeping me from doing the quality blogging that you deserve. I'll link to it when it goes up online.
The piece isn't really about what the cover line says it's about (it's more about what the next president could and should do to make the economy work better for little folks like you and me), and it also involved a lot more journalism by committee than I'm really comfortable with. But I don't think I actually disagree with anything I wrote, so maybe it will grow on me. It better, because I'm supposed to go on CNN in an hour (12:20 p.m. ET Thursday) to talk it up.
Update: Actually, it's going to be at 12:10. Guess I'd better hit the road.

This is the latest puzzle – two simultaneous yet practically bipolar views from highly respectable magazine, newspaper and journal.
1. TIME has just suggested how one could survive the lean economy, surreptitiously implying that the recession is already raising its ugly head.
2. NYT and WSJ, on the contrary, think otherwise; they have just argued that maybe one is going to escape from the financial onslaught without any qualm.Can the big media be right every time? Maybe not.
How many journalists are economists? Maybe a few.
How often can we trust them? Maybe sometimes.
Will the world be better without the mass media? Maybe yes.Maybe things keep changing now and then, after all everything is impermanent and transient – experts change their mind too.
So, we have lots of maybes in life; surely we are not living in a ‘maybe' world. Or are we? (Tan Boon Tee)
