The following is from a Wall Street Journal article I found today entitled “On the Street, Disbelief and Resignation” concerning the plight of the poor investment bankers, who now have nothing to do and are barely making ends meet: Inside what’s left of Wall Street, investment bankers are doing all they can to cope with [...]

Could it be any more bizarre? What did we do to deserve this?? Oh yeah, right… Be that as it may, I say keep your eyes on McCain. Whenever I see a video of the guy, I can’t believe how warped he is from the pressure of all the lying. He needs a new career [...]

Too dark, pre-occupied, self-critical, and cranky to write much this week. That, and watching McCain disintegrate against the backdrop of the Great Unwinding is so engrossing and entertaining, who has time for anything else? This is all just amazing. There IS a God, as the saying goes, and she’s winding up for the big pitch. [...]

What’s not to like? First off, not everyone is stupid! In fact, most of us aren’t, and this morning it’s bringing a smile to my face. Not worried about the economy, either. Our way of life is unsustainable: if things are falling apart, that’s why, and they need to fall apart. So let’s run this [...]

See, this is why it’s good to be an adaptable, creative fellow. I thought things were going pretty well, until I went ballistic on a mailing list and sent people here who don’t need to see these things. VERY unprofessional, shows how serious this is for me and how much I need to take care [...]

I watched the last few hours of the Democratic convention, and of course I heard Obama’s amazing speech. It wasn’t the words — most of what he said was very down-to-earth — but his courage and directness. The intensity of spirit that he showed, the empathy, the honesty — my God, the INTELLIGENCE! I’ve been [...]

Now there’s a title you don’t see every day, and the guys who made it possible aren’t everyday fellows, either. How it turned out that in my advanced decreptitude I’ve finally found friends who not only share many of my own predilections and cultural underpinnings but also take care of each other is mildly astounding [...]

I don’t need to write about this stuff because, well, I don’t know what I’m talking about, but Barry Ritholtz does. Check out Idiots Fiddle While Rome Burns: This is financial incompetence writ on a scale far grander than anything seen for centuries… something beyond cognitive dissonance is occurring — this is full blown case [...]

Now this could be fun, especially if you have a family: Your Heimatssicherheitsabteilung — sorry, DHS — is considering having airlines issue shock bracelets instead of boarding passes. You’d put these on, they’d have all your travel and personal info encoded into them, and if there was any trouble, they’d work like a taser: just [...]

We’re still looking for a rental with more solar gain and a better woodstove. I’m feeling lucky, too. I like heating with wood, athough it won’t do for the studio my wife needs for her glossy-black baby grand piano. In the long run, I think we’ll have to buy some land and build a couple [...]
