Stories like this one in the Knoxville News Sentinel today are popular tear jerker’s – kind of like any film with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts – but they make no sense. The story I referenced is headlined “A family’s faith helps them find the best gift of all” and it’s replete with statements like [...]

Here’s a brilliant use of money – at least it’s not tax dollars…. The city of Knoxville has received a $200,000 grant aimed at developing a realistic strategy to substantially increase residential recycling rates. I’ve never understood the recycling program here. You can pay extra to have your recycling picked up, or you can drop [...]

As I wrote earlier today, many people got new PC’s for Christmas. I mentioned a few things that everyone needs to do when setting up a new PC, but it just struck me that it’s also important to know what NOT to do when setting up a new PC. By far the biggest “no-no” is [...]

A brief history lesson for those with memory problems…. Back in the fall of 1992 just after the election in which Bush I was thrown out (because [...]

I saw this article on the SF Chronicle website tonight and just had to post a link to it. A few of them are corny, but overall it’s a funny article that does a good job of lambasting Bush – and he deserves every bit of it. That reminds me – one of these days [...]

An Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at Bush Sunday and was taken into custody. Now FoxNews is reporting that the journalist “suffered a broken arm and ribs after being struck by Iraqi security agents, his brother told AFP on Tuesday.“ Ok, I guess if you throw your shoes at the President you might deserve to [...]

Helicopter Ben Bernanke is keeping his word that he’d “drop money from helicopters if necessary”. And that’s not a good thing. The Fed today dropped the Fed funds rate to a target “between 0% and .25%” – in effect, they’re giving away free money. A bank can take a 30 day loan and pay ZERO [...]
