YUD’s mother would like to point out that, in fact, she could NOT be Ali McGraw’s older sister unless there have been at work some bizarre time-machine machinations involving a DeLorean, a large supply of plutonium (compliments of your friendly neighborhood plutonium-suppliers), and, of course, the elegant brilliance of the flux capacitor.

Hey guys,
So, someone I think you may know is writing a recession column on this rather cool site called True/Slant, and we think/hope you will like it…
