These are troubled times.

Mortgages were bought and sold in ways that while we still do not fully understand.

Some banker prince in Monaco probably understands, but he is engulfed in model flesh and caviar, and so he isn’t around to explain it to us.

Trouble breeds uncertainty, and vice versa.  For over a year now, we are a nation that has bent its head and at times wept.

But one thing has always been there for us.  One steward of misfortune adjusts and bears the load when the worst happens.

It is the appendage that offends white linen tabletops.

It is a wrestler’s billy club.

It is all some of us have.
