This little lie has been fun to watch worm it’s way around the world. I’ve seen this happen before, and since I’m sure it will happen again, I’d like to point out exactly how this stuff happens, and what exactly it results in (well, we saw that last Tuesday, but I digress a wee bit early). [...]
Clearing off the desktop…
…sometimes I fall behind. So to catch up, I just dump a lot of stuff with short commentary and reboot the browsers so my computer can think again. Here goes… First up is an acknowledgement of the change to Arizona law. This took away the worst of it, but I’d expect the rest to be [...]
Obama, Democrats, and GOP at odds over financial regs
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2010/04/obama-the-democats-and-gop-at-odds-over-financial-regs/1 Looks like it’s time for the next round of “Whats actually in the bill?” UPDATE: We’ll get to what’s in the bill later. One other news story that fits into this agenda (and it ain’t an accident) is the recent news of the prosecution of Goldman Sachs. Wall Street’s preeminent investment bank, Goldman Sachs, [...]
Thai Tea Party Gets Within Hare’s Breath of Mad Hatter
Not sure what that means, but since it’s a Carroll reference, I think that’s o.k. Regardless, here’s the news. Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) — Thailand’s Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva declared a state of emergency Wednesday, hours after anti-government demonstrators stormed the country’s parliament. Speaking on nationwide television, he said the “purpose is to restore peace and [...]
Robots Taking Over the Runways and Dreamscapes
First up, from the far, far east…. (TSUKUBA, Japan) A new walking, talking robot from Japan has a female face that can smile and has trimmed down to 43 kilograms (95 pounds) to make a debut at a fashion show. But it still hasn’t cleared safety standards required to share the catwalk with human models. [...]
World This Week, Obama, Stewart, China, Russia, Cheney, Rush, Summers
Part 1: Part 2: Here’s the links for the video… Obama talkin’ to the CEO’s. Jon Stewart slamming Jim Cramer and CNBC. China on the offensive in the Impeccable. China on that $1,000,000,000,000 note of ours. Russian bombers and new bases. World Bank on global economy shrinkage. Cheney being Cheney, which is to say, a [...]
The First Two Chapters Are Up
As mentioned a little while back, I am putting the blog on hold and writing a book. O.k. I didn’t do such a good job of that (as the latest posts can testify) but that hasn’t stopped the book from coming along nicely. They can read be read here. I’d love to get some feedback [...]
Woot! 10K Views and Did You Know 2008 (and 2007)
So my first, and worst, Fallout 3 video just passed 10,000 views on ye olde YouTube. I know that’s not much for some of the popular videos, but it’s a decent enough milestone for a month or so. In personal book news, we’re past 30 pages and chapter 3 is a slight bit of research [...]
Chinese government makes “Chinese Democracy” somewhat relevant.
Here’s the story so funny it can only come from China. Axl Rose isn’t exactly the renegade rocker he was in the late 1980s, but he’s still rock ‘n roll enough stir up a controversy. An article in a Chinese newspaper today blasted the singer’s new album “Chinese Democracy”as a “venomous attack”on the nation and [...]
Robots and Pirates in the News (Ninja absent…but they’re Ninjas…so…)
There have been major news stories in the last couple of weeks involving robots and pirates making war. The ninjas are staying out of the spotlight, but as that is their nature, this shouldn’t be noted as evidence that they aren’t very busy. First up, the pirates… NAIROBI, Kenya (CNN) — Pirates who hijacked a [...]
U.S. Power/Prestige Set to Decline Over Next 20 Years (It will Be O.k.)
This is something of a follow-up to my post the other day regarding World War II and the Great Depression. In that post I made the point that a significant portion of the economic success the U.S. enjoyed from World War II to, well, now, was due to the fact that after WW2 the U.S. [...]
