Wanted to take a minute out from my desperate battle to save my political career to weigh in on TFE. Please refer to this article by the creator of TFE:

which says:

“In the next two, or more years a paper about it will appear in a peer reviewed journal of some standing. In fact, it was accepted for publication but after I had signed the copyright release forms I fell out with the editor.”

Such a tragedy! Can you believe that some hot-tempered editor with a serious attitude problem is effectively blocking dissemination of the most important and revolutionary discovery in the history of economics? That’s why my wife looks so sad in this picture:

Anyway, the fact is, TFE is here to stay, even if I’m on my way out of the governor’s mansion. Thank you, Diebold.

See you at the local brothel,
Eliot Spitzer
(Soon-to-be-former) Governor, New York

Or did you have to make use of undocumented APIs?

H. Paul Wolfowitz
Former Deputy Secretary of Defense and Notable Apologist, TFE

Sounds like the neighborhood literati have really done a number on your lawn. I’ll see if I can pull a few strings with the higher ups at Diebold and have a satellite-based laser beam vaporize any future litter bugs. (Just like they did at Yosemite.)

In the meantime, though, I wanted to make you aware of an important new development in economics. It’s called Transfinancial Economics (or, technically, Non-Taxation Monetary Reform… whew, that’s a mouthful!!) and everyone from Paul Wolfowitz to Bono is singing its praises. It’s already widely acknowledged to be as important to economics as relativity was to physics. You can read more about it here:

With the power of TFE, we no longer need to worry about the DRM implications of ubiquitous backyard zoopraxiscopes — implications that you so delicately side-step in your essay, I might add. Greenhouse gases will become a thing of the past, to be replaced by post-greenhouse gases that trap love in the lower atmosphere while deflecting cancer-causing UV rays. If each of us just does his part (shops at Whole Foods, tosses his litter in your yard, etc.), together we can all have a greener tomorrow, today.
