The Jeff Hostetler of Blogs

Today was not a good day. I overextended in my buying, gambling that further investment in my pineapple canning industry would be enough to turn around my sagging economy. Obviously, I don't know much of anything. Pineapple canning flopped, my debt spiraled out of control, and the international community made a decree that lowered the maximum wage I could pay employees. As a result, my educated workforce left the country, industry stalled even more, and the military became restless because I couldn't afford to pay them. One of my generals became power hungry enough to start a coup and that was it. The revolters outnumbered my loyalists 2:1 and I soon found myself on that lonely run-down rowboat out of town.
