The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Letter to Bloggeditor

Bloggeditor:

There is a bright side to the current housing crisis you seldom hear about. A conservative president in the 1980s had the chance to reform Social Security but fortunately did try to do so. When Reagan signed a Social Security reform in the 80s he missed the chance to privatize social security. Instead of the stock market option in the failed Bush approach, Reagan could have changed Social Security so the money held in trust had gone into home loans. Just think if he had done so. Today the losses in home loans would be losses in the investment portfolio of the Social Security program. The media would be bonkers about the losses. Fortunately, the extra money from the raised social taxes at the time was put into Treasury bonds. The government spent the money instead of losing any of it from current crisis in the housing market.
