Hump Day Afternoon Open Thread

This video is dedicated to all the Obama worshippers justifying their love for Mr. Teleprompter Jesus.  Too bad Ireland’s not laughing.  Keep holding on to that Precious! On a more serious note, watch this next one, from HBO’s miniseries John Adams.  Jefferson, the flawed, but brilliant founding father that he is, WAS RIGHT. What would [...]

Wednesday: He thinks this is funny??

Dana Milbank at WaPo wrote a piece yesterday about the outrage building against the protected lifestyles of the rich and finance.  He tells of a moment in the White House when Barack Obama addressed the issue.  I won’t even go over the obvious point that Obama, Geithner, Summers and Congress should never have allowed the [...]

Psychology in the News: Cognitive Functions Decline after Age 27

I still remember how freaked out I was when I turned 25. I figured my life was practically over and yet I had accomplished almost nothing. After all, John Keats died at 25 and he had written all that great poetry already! And Percy Bysshe Shelley, who mentored Keats, died at 28. I figured I [...]

Tuesday Ramblings plus a Caption This Photo!

CAPTION THIS PHOTO: Write your caption in the comments section!

Where’s the Money?

Joseph Cannon recently a really good post about Sir Allen Stanford over at Cannonfire: Yes, he’s American, and yes, that really is his name. Before taking French leave (the FBI caught up with him at his girlfriend’s home), he bilked investors of some $8 billion. He did this, in part, by establishing Stanford International Bank, run [...]

Tuesday: Yeah, why *are* we giving bailout money to foreign banks?

Gretchen Morgenson, finance reporter for the NYTimes, gave an interview to Terry Gross yesterday.  Terry must be on the road to Kool-Ade sobriety.  She didn’t sound nearly as hopeful about Obama’s Change-tastic administration.  Come to think of it, even I didn’t expect Obama to be this bad.  It simply boggles the mind how  strongly the [...]

An Open Thread

The Cram Down Myth

*Disclaimer: nothing in this post should be construed as legal advice. If you think bankruptcy might be right for you, you should consult with an attorney. Your state bar association will be able to refer you to an attorney licensed to practice law in your state. “How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked. “Two ways,” [...]

MIMOSAS AND ME….

Let me preface this by saying that all this started when I received an invitation from a neighbor to attend a bridal brunch for her daughter who was getting married in May. Like a good invitee, I RSVP’d and also mentioned that “if there was anything I can do, please do not hesitate to let [...]
