More Believable: "Mooncalf" is a Word or Bailout is Saving/Creating Jobs in Houston?

Wednesday October 28, 2009

An interesting email debate (if such a thing has ever occured) has been taking place over the past couple of days with a mooncalf regular emailer who goes by the name Arnowitz1.

It's sort of a tongue-in-cheek thing that I've come to look forward to receiving. Every couple of days he'll (I'm assuming said emailer is a he because he has referrenced Keanu Reeves no less than three times) a list of things are less preposterous than the theory that the bailout has been saving and/or creating jobs in Houston.

A lot of the times it's kind of funny ("if trained properly, a tiger could give a speech about nesting habits of bats") and sometimes it's just flat mean ("the Rockets won't flame out in the first round of the playoffs") but it brings to light a very serious topic: are jobs really being created and/or saved in Houston.

I thought I'd put it to you all to see what you thought. Sound off in the comments. Or list some things that might be less foolhardy to believe in. Your call.
