W in DC

April 9, 2010

Funny quote from the Conde Nast Traveler Article about Michelle & DC: “George W. Bush, in bed every night by 9:30, had no use for grass-fed beef or freshly picked chanterelles—even less for taking his wife out to an environmentally responsible restaurant tucked into the artistic hub of D.C.’s well-established gay and lesbian scene. In the previous administration, Washington was a place you apologized for having to go to when back home in Texas, the White House just an office with a rose garden.” Check it out here: http://www.concierge.com/cntraveler/articles/502489

    Panty Wars

    June 17, 2009

    Really? A group of residents in New York City are mad because the bar next door is too loud. We can all empathize with that. However, these residents decided to hang panties on a clothes line in an attempt to solve the problem. I don’t understand. If anything, isn’t that a sure-fire way to get [...]

    God Bless Ed Freeman

    June 16, 2009

    Imagine you’re a 19-year old kid. You’re critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the La Drang Valley, Vietnam. Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8–1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in. You’re lying [...]

    Drivers

    May 23, 2009

    I saw someone re-quoting George carlin’s joke about why is everyone who drives slower than you an idiot, while everyone who drives faster than you is a maniac. It made me laugh hard because it’s so true about me. I’m constantly complaining about other drivers. My favorite thing to complain about is people who don’t [...]

    April 28, 2009

    Seriously, folks.  I’m sorry that 159 people died in Mexico of this flu outbreak.  However, this is not a big deal.  36,000 people die every year from the “regular” flu.  More people die in one hour in car accidents than will die all year of Swine Flu. The images of people wearing masks around is [...]

    It’s an Energy Shock, stupid.

    February 21, 2009

    Here’s a guy I have a lot of respect for – Paul Volcker. I even give Obama points for choosing him as an advisor.  Why doesn’t Volcker (or anyone else but Larry Kudlow) mention the obvious: This recession was caused by a giant energy shock!  When $150 oil met an overleveraged economy, that was it.
