Most of my chrishayes.org blogging has been replaced by tweeting over at my twitter account. You can find it here.
I’ve also been bad about updating my articles archive, but I’m getting on that now.

For the love of G-d, can we please stop it with the Inaugural merchandise?
UPDATE: Andrew Golis writes in to chide me: “Dude, Obama’s the only thing in this country that sells! Do you want to kill the economy?”
Fair point!

This was emailed to the Nation:
Please advise the young Mr. Chris Hayes that on Countdown tonight he
has conflated two terms that are used more precisely by his elders.
“Jury-rigged” is a nautical term, centuries old, to describe a
temporary or emergency repair.
“Jerry-built” is an army term from WWII describing temporary
construction.
“Jerry-rigged” is an abomination which implies that soldiers and
sailors have gotten drunk enough to try to communicate with each
other, but not too drunk to actually speak.
Yours very respectfully,
XXXXX

My blogging on chrishayes.org has been, in the words my brother “piss-poor,” and for that I apologize. I’ll continue to post curios and delights from the internet here, but most of my substantive blogging is done over at the Capitolism blog at The Nation. For a while I was cross-posting here, after asking y’all if you wanted that, but in deference to my benevolent overlords at America’s oldest continuously published magazine, I’m now just posting there in an effort to drive traffic (all six of you!) their way. So please: read mah blawg. And also, if you happen to use RSS, the feed is here. I apologize that the feed isn’t full text, but I’m lobbying hard to change that.

For anyone who is not a Cubs fan, this will make exactly zero sense. For those who are, this will be about the funniest thing you’ve seen all winter.

Miss me? Sorry for the hiatus, I’ve been taken a little holiday blogging break. Had a lovely Christmas in NYC, and headed to New Orleans for New Year’s. I’ve managed to see quite a few movies of late, and highly, highly recommend Doubt. It’s masterfully compressed, the writing is brilliant and the acting is sublime. I also really liked Frost/Nixon, though it’s not quite on the same plain.
If you’re looking for a lucid, concise and highly readable book that attempts to explain the origins of the current financial crisis, it’s hard to do better than George Cooper’s “The Origin of Financial Crises: Central Banks, Credit Bubbles and the Efficient Market Fallacy”:http://www.economist.com/finance/displaystory.cfm?story_id=12209655. Cooper belongs to the “central-banks-are-to-blame” school, and makes the case quite convincingly. Though it’s important to note that his account is by no means the final word.
Finally, for a dose of fiction: I’m about 100 pages into 2666 the final novel by Chilean writer Roberto Bolano, who died in 2003 before the novel could be published. His literary executor arranged for its publication, and just recently, the mammoth work was translated into English and is now available here. Like I said, I’m only 100 pages in, but so far it is stunningly good. Wow.
