WELCOME INTERNATIONAL BLOGGERS...

This blog gets more attention outside of the US than inside the US... Although US readers are also present.

If you are a non-US blogger...I would appreciate it if you would link this blog to your blog or web page... So other international readers can get the "real deal" on the US economy and political scene.

Because this year of 2007 is going to be a key inflexion point in global economics and geopolitics.

I have even included, in the sidebar, some links to Google's "translation tools"...although my hunch is that a lot is "lost in translation" because language is a funny thing...

In translations, it's not just "the words" or the raw vocabulary that matter...

It's the mental context and the subtext that interprets those words that is most important.

So a lot is lost in the cultural hyperspace that is not retrivable by mere translatiion.

Fortunately, simple sentences and basic ideas are easily translated... So perhaps only the emotional nuances and subtle attempts at humour are truly lost in translation.

Welcome International Bloggers...! Stay Tuned.
