2009 Year in Review WikiPost: 3/28
If this year was an average American, it would be a randy 19 year old already. (They grow up so fast don’t they?) Anyhoo…when we wait until the end of the year to do the “Year in Review” post we leave out so much and just talk about stuff that happened in the last 90 […]
Deep Thought
Having the word “structure” contained in the word infrastructure might be giving people a false sense of security. Maybe we should call it – infrastuff or infrashit?
What Are YOUR Plans for Earth Hour?
Tonight, from 8:30 to 9:30, as a symbolic gesture to stress the necessity of environmental responsibility, we are being asked to turn off all non-essential lights. Organizers say they hope this year’s event will send a message to world leaders meeting Copenhagen in December for a major summit on climate change. “We are asking one […]
Taibbi Dissects Dear AIG, I Quit Letter
Matt Taibbi strikes again. (Go read it now.) Are we supposed to believe that Jake DeSantis knew nothing about Joe Cassano’s CDS deals? If your boss and the top guys in your firm were all making a killing selling anything at all — whether it was rubber kayaks, generic Levitra or credit default swaps — […]
‘Bulo’s Music for the Masses-Week 2

However, Thorogood’s own taste in guitar slingers has always been top shelf. Perhaps the greatest of ’em all, and ‘bulo’s all-time favorite, is Texas native son Albert ‘Iceman’ Collins. His unique tunings […]

The Flatlining of Dead Tree News
Newspapers falling like dominoes seems to be one of the themes of the year, not unlike the 2 or so banks per week handed over the the FDIC. It never seems quite real until one thing just crystallizes it all. And this is it. Just go see what squeezing every last dollar out of a […]
Tom Carper’s Moderate (sic) Caucus
Is Carper’s Senate Dem “moderate” caucus really moderate? When it comes to taking care of banking industry sugar daddies it seems zealous. Some may even speak the unspeakable word, “extremist.” Here is David Waldman as quoted in a MYDD post by Todd Beeton: Again, nearly 2/3 of the American public supports giving assistance to homeowners struggling with […]
Now That’s What I Call An Apology
Mahafee has a good post up about a good apology. I can see why he liked it. The modern non-apology apology is so tiresome. I’m sorry you misunderstood my comment. = Not an apology
