Day 2: Uh, let me get this term paper out of the way first

I need to write a 1,500-word term paper for my macroeconomics class. Short-term tactical necessity will just have to kick the crap out of long-term strategic planning today. Ultimately, though, I need to make the two work together like rowers in a boat rather than playing Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robot against each other.

I'll try and post more tonight, but for right now, it's one day down, 749 to go.
