Tariff Riff

I'd thought about using my fairly limited knowledge of economics -- ably assisted by Thomas Sowell -- to explain why President Trump's labeling himself a "Tariff Man" shows he don't get the trade thing very well.

But then Samford University professor Art Carden dreamed up some new words set to the tune of Billy Joel's "Piano Man," and I realized I didn't have to. Which was good, because that Sowell book is kind of heavy.

People are so clever. I always wish I could think of cool parodies. Regarding baton twirling, I learned at that parade that maybe choosing something that involves freezing in short clothes in winter on a football field is not a good idea for someone who thinks 70 degrees is chilly. That would be me!
