It is my pleasure to introduce the newest F&Ser, Terabyte, to our not-so-humble page. She’s a D.C. outsider with penchants for economics and all things Trent Reznor.

A semi-regular commenter (under a different name) and also a contributor to the wildly popular user post feature (hint, hint people), she will be able to inject perspective from someone with actual economic training–which I most obviously lack.

Ah, it’s nice to have company on the page again…until she abandons me like all the others. (ahem, Raspscalion, et al.)

To make her feel welcome, I submit this as an ADP–in spite of it being neither afternoon nor remotely dance-able:

Yes, I should be back to my habitual semi-regular posting now. Until I find something to write about, enjoy this ditty someone sent me (from the Dish) yesterday.

Over at the Agitator, Radley bared his musical soul by sharing his guilty pleasure iPod tracks. (My list here.) So, in the spirit of Radley’s challenge, I submit the King of Pop as a dishonorable mention to my list. (As if you all didn’t know I liked him already.) I will take any and every opportunity to play classic Michael.

Have a good weekend.

If you run in the Beltway Libertariat circles, chances are, you know Matt Vadum. The master of the awkward one-handed self-photo, the man has more uncomfortable pictures than my proctologist.

In honor of the picture taking King of Taco Night, a daring anonymous friend (no, not me) has put together a montage for the ages. Enjoy!

This isn’t a traditional song to dance to, but it’s catchy and I’ve always liked it. Deal.

Americans, less so:

Denmark, with its democracy, social equality and peaceful atmosphere, is the happiest country in the world, researchers said on Monday. Zimbabwe, torn by political and social strife, is the least happy, while the world’s richest nation, the United States, ranks 16th.

I suppose money can’t buy everything. But look what other countries are happy:

Puerto Rico and Colombia also rank highly, along with Northern Ireland, Iceland, Switzerland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Canada and Sweden.

Respectively: rum, cocaine, whiskey, vodka, cheese, whiskey, weed, maple syrup and hot blond women.

Yeah, I’d be pretty happy in most of those places too. But as a researcher noted:

“Though by no means the happiest country in the world, from a global perspective the United States looks pretty good”

Damned right.

And a little ADP to go along with the theme:

So, I received a complaint from one of our long-lost contributors that a lot of my ADP’s are the same.

Well, excuse the hell out of me!

So, in deference to the individual whom shall not be named (and who should get his sorry behind blogging again), here is an ADP that isn’t so much a dance party, but a nice groove to kick off the afternoon.

A nice little ditty from the 90s to get you ready for the weekend:
