Now that Dubai World has gone to sleep with the fishes I can roll out my model for the economy - Katie Price. Now Katie in her twenties had two enormous peaks pointing up to the sky kept there solely by artificial means .... and guess what in the good old days the economy had peaks that were kept there by artificial means (that is by idiot bankers employing autistic mathematicians to create models sadly like silicone autistics are some what inflexible and when pushed too far they either snap or deflate). Katie in her dotage however will have two enormous pendula reaching to her knees and beyond the exact shape of the ghastly double dip recession brought on by over reliance on silicone autistic geeks.

To be honest I'm not sure whether the above is a similie or a methaphor that is the sort of arty farty stuff we scientists leave to the girls. I just like the idea of the economy as Katie Price although quite what a cross dressing cage fighter boyfriend would be in the economy is beyond me - perhaps the unsuitable relationship between business and Gordon Brown (someone who like William Hague strangely aquired a wife out of nowhere when it was politically expedient to have one only to find homosexuality had become fashionable and they had exchanged one closet for another given that admitting marriage was a political tactic would ruin them)
