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 [...]
Also tagged Economics, health care, humor, lie to me, Nanny State, ObamaSince 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” [...]
Also tagged PersonalA 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 [...]
Also tagged bailouts, congress, Economics, food, health care, PoliticsSometimes 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 [...]

Also tagged Economics, health care, humor, ObamaI”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 [...]
Also tagged animations, PoliticsI 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 [...]
Also tagged humor, wordsmithingFor 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 [...]
Also tagged numbersI 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 [...]
Also tagged pointless gesturesI happened to catch Jeff Beck’s most recent concert video over the weekend on Palladia HD. He’s got this kid playing bass. Turns out her name is Tal Wilkenfeld. I guess she was about 21 when the video was shot. She may not be the greatest bass player ever (yet), but she’s real good. If [...]
