What’s a trillion? I mean, do you really know? Does it roll off your tongue? Some of you out there are pretty damn smart. Perhaps when asked to define a trillion you knew. I didn’t. Not off the tippy top of my head. Sure, give me a pencil and some paper I could figure it [...]

Lets say you are a relatively large country. Me, too. We both have significant amounts of debt, but I have more. We both make money (GDP), but you make more. Now, I need more money. So what I do is convince you to buy some of my debt. That frees money up on my books. [...] In my strip mall is a Chinese Buffet. Usually I avoid these places, my love of Chinese food is too easily assaulted by faux mu shu pork in undercooked egg noodles (bleh). But this place I like. The food is OK, but the ambiance is great. Everyone that works there [...] Ted Kennedy is dead. A polarizing hardcore lefty that believed in many of the things I think is wrong with this country. A deal maker unique in his ability to plot out a bill’s successful path through the Senate’s pitfalls and snares. Despite his personal politics, his compromises made him a symbol of how Congress can actually [...] Culinary Institute of America.. Central Intelligence Agency.. Can’t Interrogate Anyone..  …titter… And by whales, I mean that in the Vegas sense: rich angst laden liberals with too much cash and even more guilt. Greenpeace got harpooned today because they recently got a few facts wrong. They said that all the arctic ice would be melted by 2030. They meant sea ice, as fresh water ice melts much slower and [...] Az’s response to the post before this has motivated me to post my response as a blog post. I keep stubbing my proverbial toes on Stupid Things. For the longest time I let it go, but I am finding that harder to do now. I believed that there was once a core of common goodness and [...] The apocalypse is finally happening. The Rapture has arrived. Well, sort of. For those of you who don’t know, the Rapture is when all the Christians are called back to heaven and that leaves the world to the Jews, the Christians who couldn’t quite cut it, and of course the [...] If you get the chance, watch the Movie ‘Edmond’ starring William H Macy and based on a play by Mamet. It is a movie of endings. Just when you think it is over a new act starts and things get even darker. I’d love to see the play (or any Mamet play) -and watch the [...] One of the many reasons I love John D. MacDonald books is because he railed against the exploding expansion of residential suburbia’s in Florida. The fact that he did this before Florida really took off and I now read his novels long after his fears have become reality is just an added bonus to his wonderfully written stories. Personally, I hate how [...] |
