Tropophilia

It is in violation of several laws my pleasure and an usurpation of the freedom of speech a distinct honor to introduce Edmund C. Moy, Director of the United States Mint, who RUN has a very special RUN AWAY! message for the readers of Tropophilia:

My fellow Americans, I have a very special and important announcement to make. Over the weekend, it came to the attention of the Secret Service, which as you know works for the Department of the Treasury, which as you know works for the United States Mint, which as you know works for me… that this is a blog “about change.” Not only is this blog “about” change. It’s a blog about the “love” of change.

There are three things I love in this world: Power. Freedom. And Change.

Not that softy “change we can believe in” mumbo jumbo. I’m talkin’ ’bout some coin, baby. I love the jingle. I love the jangle. I love the exquisite feeling of the metal in my greasy palm, the sound it makes when pings against the bottom of my pink piggy bank on my desk.

If this blog is about the love of change, then this blog is about me. And that’s why I’ve directed the NSA, which as you know works for the President, who as you know is my boss, who as you probably don’t know owes me a big favor — to confiscate this blog and its assets, to detain its editors as enemy combatants, and to give me full editorial control of Tropophilia.

Don’t worry, readers. You shouldn’t notice a huge change. As you can see we’ve redecorated a little, but the theme will not change. Or… will it? Bwahaha.

And don’t even think about ditching Tropophilia. I have the NSA tracking previous and current visitors. You are obligated to visit at least once per day and to comment once per week about how much you love coins a.k.a. change, as designed by the U.S. Mint. Which as you know, I run.

In the name of the Quarter, the Dime, and the commemorative Sacagawea dollar,

Edmund C. Moy
Director, U.S. Mint
