Nah, you can have as many as you want actually. Fellow Mencken-ites and fighters of free market fundamentalism are always welcome.

    Philip Pullman calls it "the greedy ghost of market fundamentalism." The link is either in the Saloon Bar or one of the archives, and it's under the heading "Pullman on libraries." I highly recommend it.

    Thanks for the boxen. Feel free to lift any of mine...

      Yes, the phrase "capitalist pig" does not draw the crowds that it used to, so the pinkos need a fresher snarl word of identical meaning.

      The header is actually "Pulman on libraries" (this is why I am a grammar-Nazi; "grep" is not as forgiving as the MediaWiki search engine), and is located here.

        The "greedy ghost" is not the same thing as a "capitalist pig." The former is a metaphor for an ideology, the latter is a label for a person.

          To clarify: The snarl word I was referring to is "market fundamentalist."
