BLUE PLACIDOLA
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who would lose in a head-to-head race with a glacier. Family and friends come to you for advice because they don't have the time for you to come to them.

Be on the lookout for infected paper cuts. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter O, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 469360. Your preferred shopping venue is department stores. Your special symbol is the at sign (@).
Is this You?
As a Blue Placidola, you are easy-going and even-tempered, calm and composed. For you, the hectic pace of a crowded shopping mall during the holiday rush is nothing, it's little more than a tranquil stroll in the park. Life is good. Life goes on. Why worry. You are a happy shopper and you seldom fret over trivial details of a market exchange, in part because you are astute enough to get moderately low prices and relatively good deals.
This isn't me! What am I?

Fighting Business Cycles With STABILIZATION POLICIESAs you may recall, the twins, Donna the Democrat and Rhonda the Republican, seldom agree on anything involving politics, economics, fashion, or flower arrangements. Their imminent entry into the Interstate OmniBank can only mean trouble. Donna, in her official capacity as economic advisor to the President of the quaint and courteous Republic of Northwest Queoldiola, is attempting to enter Interstate OmniBank anxious to borrow enough to finance the Queoldiolan government deficit. Rhonda, as the head of the central bank of the Republic of Northwest Queoldiola, is making every effort to stop her. The source of this particular confrontation between the twins is apparently the best way to eliminate a year-long recession that has struck the quaint and courteous Republic of Northwest Queoldiola.
