I’m almost, but not quite, feeling sorry for poor HRC. On paper (i.e., if I didn’t need to look at her or listen to her talk), she is one of the most qualified candidates and a totally unqualified but charismatic rookie is just sweeping in and taking over. But her resume would not […]

I find it hard to believe that anyone could like John Edwards. I find him to be as repulsive as Hillary, Huckabee, Romeny, etc. His anti-corporate rhetoric laughable given that I find him, and his trial lawyer bretheren, to be at least as offensive as the evil corporations they think they are protecting […]

It was a year ago that I started this blog and, then, lost interest after about three months. I lost interest for several reasons: (1) I read The Black Swan by Nicolas Nassim Taleb, which with its predecessor, Fooled by Randomness, got into my head and convinced me that most of the daily news […]

Slow news day. Don’t really care about the current Bush Administration crisis. The buzzards are circling…Gonzales is toast. The real story of the day is the growing buzz that the recent crash of the $1.5 million Ferrari Enzo by the Undercover Brother guy was planned as a publicity stunt. Conspiracy theories are generally silly but […]

I absolutely love the Internet sometimes. While looking for a latin translation tool online, I came across the English to Pig Latin translator. It absolutely cracks me up that someone took the time to write an algorithm for a pig latin translator and made it available on the Internet. Gone are the days lost wondering […]

To be honest, my first computer was a Timex Sinclair. The Sinclair had a little membrane keypad and used a tape recorder to load programs. That was back in the very early 80’s and almost didn’t count. (Note, however, that I am not amazed anymore at what people do on the Internet anymore…there are a ton […]

I was going to start this blog entry as follows: “Few things irritate me more than bad NFL announcers.” However, given that so many things irritate me, I guess I have to say that bad NFL announcers are just among the things that irritate me. As bad as some NFL announcers are, they are all […]

This whole Federal prosecutor scandal should highlight a much larger scandal: the “justice” system is political and the whole blind justice concept is nothing more than a sad myth. It is hilarious that Congress is absolutely up in arms that there may have been a political motive behind firing a whole slew of politically appointed […]

I watched the clip of the Edwards’ press conference on the news and I then suffered through the gushing press coverage. I mean, I feel sorry for Elizabeth Edwards because she has terminal cancer and she has young kids who will be without a mother. That sucks and it’s difficult to make fun of her husband […]

Unlike most of America, I have never seem American Idol and I don’t really feel like I have missed anything. There is nothing about the concept that is interesting at all to me. The American public, like most crowds, is usually wrong and the fact that people who watch contests on TV voted for one […]
