Last week, there was much anxiety over the Large Hadron Collider potentially blowing up the world.

Of course, that didn’t happen. But, only a few days after the massive atom-smasher came online, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch imploded, touching off the current American and global financial meltdown.

Just to cover all the bases, maybe NATO should send a military strike force into Switzerland to knock out that suspicious hunk of hardware. The markets should respond nicely to such a futile gesture!

It’d be a particularly aggressive, even irrational, form of active governmental economic bailout. But when Wall Street starts swirling down an LHC-generated black hole, it’s time to kick Keynesian policy up a notch…
