Well, Paul Krugman is good today, twice! (5.00 / 3) (#1)

First he Champions Knight-Ridder/McClatchy  and links to Bob Somerby, and second he gives a sobering column on the prospect of a wage-price spiral.

Go high end e-shopping In memory of YSL... (none / 0) (#141)

Neiman, Bergdorf, Saks, and Barney's are all having on-line sales in June, complete with free shipping. If you want a $1000 (creative-class) bag for $500, now's the time to go there. And they never close! I just got a black, crinkle patent leather Hogan number that takes me out for a strut and a stroll.

Tips for a long term 'investment' bag that doesn't date itself: pick a bag by a less super-trendy designer; avoid the highly identifiable, tricked-out "it" bags and prominent logos. i.e. a bag that screams the name of its maker and has specific details that identify it as a bag made by say, Marc Jacobs, for the spring '08 collection, that will be dated next fall. (Not that there's anything inherently wrong with Marc Jacobs.)

Have fun.

P.S. Shopping tips for a big ticket item/car (none / 0) (#143)

I wrote the book, well a pamphlet, no more like a single page flyer, on how to buy a new car for less than the Edmund's Guide rock-bottom price.

Let me know if you're interested.
