How to think in good way
Saturday, January 31st, 2009No pets for JHB
Friday, January 30th, 2009Why don’t I have a pet? I don’t want to turn into one of these people.
Where a few chords can get you
Friday, January 30th, 2009Some guys in a band called Axis of Awesome did their homework on modern pop music and found how many, many pop songs use the same set of chords to make a hit. You need to have the sound on to appreciate this one.
Gore on the USA
Thursday, January 29th, 2009“…but I just think that the United States is the only nation that can lead the world.”
- Al Gore, January 28, 2008, I think testifying before Congress.
Sure, he’s talking about global warming but still that sounds like old fashioned American Exceptionalism to me.

Thursday, January 29th, 2009Quaint ideas about paying taxes
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009Ok, was it a Republican or Democrat who made the following statements about Timothy Geithner being confirmed as the Secretary of the Treasury?
A) “The failure to comply with our Nation’s tax laws would be problematic for any Cabinet nominee, but it is especially disturbing when it involves the individual who will be charged with overseeing the enforcement of our tax laws.”
B) “Given this record of failing to pay taxes, if confirmed as Treasury Secretary, how could Mr. Geithner speak with any credibility or authority as the Nation’s chief tax enforcer?”
C) “Had [Geithner] not been nominated for Treasury secretary, it’s doubtful that he would have ever paid these taxes.”
A – Democrat Russ Feingold, B – Democrat Tom Harkin, C – Democrat Robert Byrd (!)
And they’ve all hit the nail on the head! Given that, why the hell did 10 Republicans vote for this guy? It can’t be a simple case of Obamamania can it? Maybe they want to run with the cool crowd. “We wanted to show we’re all about lovin’ the new president by voting for one of his weakest nominees,” I suppose? Sounds like the Republicans need some spinach or Viagra or something. Talk about limp.
Baby black holes
Monday, January 26th, 2009Black holes from the Large Hadron Collider could last for minutes? That doesn’t sound good. Not good at all.

The Superbowl is this week and I had to actually look up who one of the contenders was. I knew about the Arizona Cardinals and, yes, now I know the other team is the Pittsburgh Steelers.
