I don't know.

I could be worrying about nothing, but I do think the context matters.

And I do think there's no evidence of harm there.

currently so just yeah let's just keep going and hope the good times roll yeah but that's not going to happen they're going to change it whether we like it or not speaking of things that are going to happen whether we like it or not we are going to have to come back in one sec with long shot

Okie doke, it is time for Long Short, that part of the show where we go long a thing we love or short a thing we hate.

Rob, we received complaints that we ran out of time for your Long Short the other day.

Yes.

No, no.

OK, well, I'm sorry to hear that.

I am.

I am long, dear.

The Economist writes to inform us that the British deer population is exploding.

Led by those cute little muntjacs.

Those are cute.

One of which recently pitched a friend of mine off his bike and knocked him out.

Anyway, The Economist tells us that the rise and rise of the deer population is a case of stagflation.

It was all worth it.

It's pretty clear to me that someone in a newsroom somewhere started with a gag and worked their way all the way back from that until they could justify writing 450 words about the British deer population.

I'm not above going with the pun first and coming up with the content later.

It's a time-honored strategy.
