Today the last of the troops have left Iraq.  I would to take this opportunity to welcome them home to their country and loved ones.  Your service is under appreciated by too many but remember that you are never forgotten.  It saddens me that our economy became the #1 issue to people when we have […]

So this is all how it went down, right? The big bad banks were bailed out.  It wasn’t for the banks’ sake, it was for the “system” – keeping it afloat – and really for you, the people.  Sure, the people still suffer.  But the government looks good because it saved the system, right?  It […]

We’ve heard it before, Mr. Obama.  Your tone of voice has not changed, that is exactly what I was looking for.  I don’t give a shit about the content of your speeches anymore, as they are the same verbal regurgitation and cliches time after time.  You want to spend another half trillion dollars to blah […]

I want to build a city.  It’s not going to happen but it’s a thought experiment.   There will be more posts to follow, and a new category dedicated to this topic.  This will be fun.

So in one hour’s time after Mr. Obama’s big speech on the credit rating downturn, the DJI average is down basically another 200 points (about 500 total for the day).  I don’t think that says much about confidence in what he had to say.  Maybe it’s time for less talk and more walk.  Trot.  Run.

For the first time in history the United States’ credit rating has been downgraded.  Our politicians and banks continue to do to us what Osama bin Laden wanted to do but failed to do, how incredibly fucked up is that?  What, WHAT does this say about them?  These asshole politicians are so concerned about their […]

Miss South Carolina lost 110 pounds prior to her title.  What a great story that so many other Americans should pay attention to.  She worked her butt off (figuratively and literally) and is reaping the rewards. So those 2/3 of you Americans who are over weight (and especially the 1/3 of you who are obese), […]

I’m interested to see how this turns out.  There is a rumor that a future iPhone, maybe around 2012, will have wireless charging capabilities.  The thing is, I have a Panasonic shaver that is at least 15 years old that has inductive charging.  Who wants to place a bet on whether the fanbois will be […]

We’ve all said things that we wish we had not.  Likewise, we’ve heard things that we wish we had not.  For instance, if you’re a nurse and you’ve got a needle stuck in someone’s vein, saying “I was afraid that would happen” is probably not the wisest thing to blurb out.  Even if it’s just […]

I don’t know all of what they discussed at the U.S. Conference of Mayors, but they got one thing right.  In a nutshell, they said we should quit spending money on our now purposeless wars and redirect it to domestic priorities.   Someone will certainly pay for this brash display of common sense. As I’ve mentioned […]
