Must read…

When I went to make this post, amazingly, there wasn’t a category for books?  Its almost like we aren’t big readers.  Anyway, its been a long time since I’ve been looking for time to read.  But this book is great. 
Its not political, its really a book about using data to prove the conventional wisdom wrong.  […]

Its begins…

I’ve been preaching for awhile that the human impact on Global warming was a huge farce made up by scientists whose grants and paychecks completely depend on perpetuating the myth…. but they’ve always pointed to the data…. uh oh…

Turns out all the major reporting agencies agree that the latest data is way lower than previous […]

Overheard at Roger Clemen’s hearing….

Auctions are fun

We were at a Hospice charity auction over the weekend.  I had some money in the budget designated for charity and hospice is a good cause (they help take care of people during their final days). 
There was a TV that I wanted on the auction block.  The auctioneer started at $500 (way too high) and […]

Valentine’s Day

I am so happy its Valentine’s Day.  Finally all those awful commercials will end!  Is anyone else sick of these?  Pajamagram, Vermont Teddy Bear, Jewelry, Cars, Flowers, aaggghhh, stop!
My least favorite is a jeweler (JBR) that is so condescending it forces me to yell at the radio like the lunatic I claim not to be.  The […]

The Next President - I’ll give you the odds.

Its time to revise my percentage predictions for president. Things are much clearer this time around. McCain, Obama, Clinton. I believe with the choice of McCain (although I disagree with it), the republican’s odds are increased. But what will decide the next president is in the Democrat Primary. I believe Obama beats McCain, and I […]

Senate GOP worried about out of control spending?

For those who don’t know, there is “stimulus package” coming down the pike.  But its not really going to do what they hope.  The Doug’s in the world have to be upset at this.  Basically they are adding $150 billion dollars to the debt (while also devaluing the dollar more) all to give people tax […]

6 Chances to Win!

I saw a commercial that made me laugh.  “Everyone who buys a bed will get not 1, but 6 entries into our sweepstakes to win (some loser prize)” 
If you haven’t caught it yet, the reason I laugh is they are banking on people being poor at math.  If everyone has 6 entries, it is the same […]
