Electronic Voter Fraud in Kentucky

Filed in National by on March 20, 2009 13 Comments

I just came across this story in my travels.  The story is about indictments in KY of election officials for changing electronic votes at the voting machine. Basically, the voters would cast their votes and press the “VOTE” button at the bottom of the ballot.  Then they would walk out.  The vote button actually was […]

What’s In The Water At CNBC?

Filed in National by on March 20, 2009 10 Comments

Talk about being out of touch. On CNBC this morning, host Mark Haines — who is catching heat this morning for arguing that Wall Street can’t “be run well” by anyone making under $250,000 — was at it again defending the need for high executive bonuses in order to keep Wall Street running. When I […]

Fixing A Mistake

Admitting that hiring Tim Geithner was a mistake and fixing that mistake would demonstrate to me that President Obama really wants to break away from the bad habits of the Bush administration. Geithner and Bernanke supported bonuses at AIG Chris in Paris · 3/20/2009 10:14:00 AM ET · Link Show them both the door. Maybe […]

The Morning After

March 19, 2009 will forever be remembered as the date that Delaware’s Gilded Age officially ended. An age that was literally ‘built on a house of (credit) cards’ is no more. The same institutions that buttressed Delaware’s financial strength, compliments of the usurious interest rates that Delaware had legalized, imploded and helped lead what in […]

QOD

Would you let your 16 year old daughter get a tattoo?  Would you turn it into a nice father/daughter or mother/daughter experience?  If you were divorced would you tell or ask for the father/mother’s opinion? (Purely hypothetical, never in a million years could this happen to me)

Homelessness is Hard

I have not given much of an update on the homeless man that I have been helping.  This is more of a reflection of my laziness than a lack of things happening. Thanks to the Friendship House, he was able to get his birth certificate from New York.  This took 2 months.  Since then, we […]
