Tom Tomorrow, Not "The Invisible Hand," Gives Us The Finger This Week!

Classic movie/radio serial episodes ended with: "Come back/tune in next time and see/hear the thilling conclusion to...." Last week, Tom Tomorrow promised "Part II" to his riff on "The Invisible Hand" of the market. This week, we are treated to "Part I" of the "2008 In Review." WTF? Last week's "Invisible Hand: Part I" is followed by this week's " 2008 In Review: Part I"! This blogger learned, at the knee and other low joints of Miss Larue (his first-grade teacher), that I/1 is followed by II/2, then III/3, and so on. So, "The Invisible Hand" lives up to its name and disappears to be replaced by "2008 In Review." If this is (fair & balanced) serial disillusionment, so be it.
