The big news is still the economy and the big financial crisis. You know, that mess gifted upon us by all the greedy so-and-so’s on Wall St? The one that we can probably thank most of our politicians for because they bowed to various special interests and didn’t require thorough enough financial reporting?
Hey, [...]

I just saw this on Boing Boing and had to comment about the unmitigated gall displayed by the International Olympic Committee’s latest example of what surely has to be severe brain damage.

The economy is quickly becoming one of the single most important issues for this election. There’s the recent financial nightmares involving Lehman Brothers, Freddi Mac, Fannie May and several other formerly high powered financial companies just about caved in.

Congress has FINALLY passed the bill that will permit offshore oil drilling.

I just saw something on Ars Technica that I can’t help find both funny and sad at the same time. It’s essentially proof of what I think a lot of people have known for a long time and that is that most people’s brains have apparently begun to lose weight in all the wrong ways.

If you’ve ever had any doubts that some people are not only without brains, but they’re also without any sense (you’ll note I didn’t say common sense, there ain’t no such thing anymore. sense isn’t common at all.) or compassion.

I am not a hamster, I guess it really IS painfully Obvious but there really is a video revolution going on these days. I’ve even gotten into the act myself on another blog where I’m going to start doing video website reviews.

The state of California claims copyright over it’s laws. This means that if you want a copy of California’s laws you have to cough up $1,556 for a digital copy online or a whopping $2,315 for hardcopy.

Just when I’m sure most of America has the illusion that the mortgage crisis was pretty much over (after all, they stopped talking about it all the time on tv didn’t they?), it turns out to be very much alive and kicking because the news now is talking about… you guessed it… another government bailout.

How shall I describe yesterday? I like to keep this blog family friendly so I’m sure that most readers will understand my meaning when I just call it a “Rolling and Screaming Charlie-Foxtrot”. The details of this adventure is something that my wife will no doubt do a much better job of writing about than I can. What I want to focus on here is the cherry on top of that “wonderful” day.
