Thanks to Crystal and Jeff for inviting me to dinner on Saturday night. I was orignally going to say no, I guess out of old habit, but fortunately I broke out of old habit and said to myself, “go, damn it!” I had the surf and turf. I’m very glad I went.
Friends
June 15th, 2009Oh no! How can I live on $2,777 a month?
May 18th, 2009Why does the New York Times get on my nerves? Stories like this. This guy is bitching and moaning about having to get by on $2,777 a month (after taxes and alimony). It also mentions his base salary of $120,000. It’s shocking that somebody could be that freaking whiny. Don’t get me wrong, I feel sorry for the guy – a little bit. Why do people who graduated college think they’re entitled to Starbucks & beach houses?
Knowing that money is the ONLY thing that matters these days and considering that we never know what tomorrow will bring. this is my personal plan for dealing with the unknowns: no marriage, no kids, no house.
A Specter Indeed
April 28th, 2009Why does this Arlen Specter switching parties thing sound familiar? Because he’s done it before, switching from Democrat to Republican in 1966. In short, his firmest allegiance is to the “I want to get re-elected” party.
Also, did you know that Arlen Specter is the guy who came up with the “single bullet theory” (a.k.a. the “bastard bullet”) for the Warren Commission?
Crystal
March 26th, 2009Crystal is my friend but Crystal is crazy!
I wanna work for AIG
March 16th, 2009OK – all the predictable outrage about AIG and this one hundred and fifty-plus million dollars going towards executive bonuses. Isn’t this the sort of thing we should have figured out…before we gave them the money?
If this isn’t evidence that TARP was just some hastily thrown together crap that nobody really understood, I don’t know what is.
Muppets sing “Danny Boy”
February 28th, 2009And now for something completely different.
We’re congress darn it!
February 27th, 2009House kills effort to investigate lobbyist-lawmaker ties.
“Asked why he voted with the majority to table the resolution, Murtha said, ‘no comment. ‘”
ButcherBank
February 22nd, 2009If the taxpayers end up owning Citibank, does that mean I can give myself a cut in my credit card interest rate?
Stadium Transformations
February 22nd, 2009These, to me, are interesting – time-lapse shots of stadiums or arenas changing from one event to another.
Labatt Center – hockey to monster truck
Superbowl XLII from setup to loadout
American Airlines Center – Dallas – Dancing with the Stars to bull riding to basketball to a concert
The Sapporo Dome – Sapporo, Japan – from baseball to soccer. The pitcher’s mound is lowered into the ground and the soccer field is brought in on a cushion of air.
