A few links

It’s almost 1:00 AM, so I can’t talk about these in the depth I’d like, but I thought I’d pass them on anyway. From Carpe Diem: For anyone who has both a) a bit of knowledge about economic realities as opposed to the unicorn farts one usually hears in the MSM, and b) spent any [...]

Borrowing Rage

Since I met with the consultant last fall, I’ve made a conscious effort to be a bit more pleasant, a little more positive, a little more upbeat.  Perhaps it was necessary and a good thing (one of the staff told me the other day that he described me to his wife as the “Dr. House” [...]

A feeble attempt at getting back in the game

A few links of potential interest: Animated currency route of travel tracking map. Feel like bailing out mismanaged union pension funds? No, me neither, but apparently Congress does. Don’t feel up to going to (or can’t get to) the doctor’s office for that sinus infection you’ve been putting up with for days?  How about an [...]

What passes for an update

Sometimes I’m just too tired to write.  It seems like I’ve been at that point for weeks.  So, you get 3 unrelated bits tonight. WordPress does a pretty good job of intercepting the comment spam that people try to dump on websites.  But, I still have to get in and delete it en masse.  For [...]

Video links

Two selections for all you video connoisseurs out there. The Beatles’ Tax Man, starring our Dear Leader. The Day Obamacare Died (with, I’m assuming, apologies to Don MacLean) starring our Dear Leader or a reasonable facsimile thereof.

The Audio-Visual post

I”m going to work in a few minutes, but I thought I’d share these: A marginally more subtle graphic than I usually link to. A definitely NSFW animation entitled “Hooker was a Democrat”.  By the way, the animation is done at a site called Xtranormal.  It’s easy.  I’ve done a couple of simple ones, but [...]

Stuff I can’t leave alone

I was going to pass on writing tonight, but I just couldn’t leave these alone. Interesting bit about Ayn Rand and how many libertarians aren’t Ayn Rand followers but were introduced to libertarian thought by reading Rand.  (Like the author, I’m one of the exceptions.  I have a copy of Atlas Shrugged I’ve been meaning [...]

14 days, 22 hours, 44 minutes and 46 seconds

For some reason I feel compelled to share that with you. “That” being the amount of time WinAmp says I can listen to my music collection without repeating anything.  Puts a new perspective on my record collection from the early 80′s. The latest acquisitions are “New Shoes” by Paolo Nutini and Booker T’s (yes, that [...]

Friday Random Ten

I haven’t done a Friday Random Ten for a while.  I meant to get to this last night, but I didn’t get home til late and had other things to do.  So, here it is, the Friday Random Ten for 7/31/09: Every Day is Exactly the Same – Nine Inch Nails Every Day is Exactly [...]
