Autumn

Autumn came this year to the sound of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #2 OP 18

a slow spiral into damp cooler air, the flowers fooled into bloom and the hummingbirds flitting back and forth in a never ending struggle over resources

winter will be grey again

Who to believe...

On the one hand you have a corporation saying 'gee - we need more cash or it's all going to hell'... So no complaining if we have to jack up the cost of gas.

On the other you have decidedly non-market entities spending gobs of money to dramatically increase supply.

Should one believe the company with the vested interest? or the reality of 16 billion dollars of investment...

See

I told you we were just as dumb.

Happy monday.

Ummm... the Pacific?

Since they dont qualify - lets just go ahead and strip them of their constitutional protections...

i'd make a smartass remark about 'our morons to our north' - but texans are just as dumb

Some Mornings

you wake up and the day feels like 'ok - today can be a good day'
and thus the opening credits to the day begin...
and.. well...



it kinda goes downhill from there

Free Market

There's something wrong with football.

Here's a sample... just chosen at random

1:19 of football
2:30 of commercials (GM, Pizzahut, Xmen)
3:30 of football
1:30 of commercials (Beer, Verizon, Geico, Xmen)
3:39 of football
1:55 of commercials (GM, Loews, Fox)
2:15 of football
1:50 of commercials (Burger King, GM, Fedex, Beer)
:40 of football
1:50 of commercials (Beer, Film, BestBuy)

that's 11:23 of football
and 10:35 of commercials

It's bad at home... can you imaging going to the game?

Note to China

When the US gets pissy about losing it's industry - you take the hit first. Yes - it is unfair. No - it is not the 'free market' at work.

If you want to teach us a lesson walk away from the DMCA - tell Mininova to put its servers in China - and announce a moratorium on enforcing foreign held patents and copyrights for 2 years.

Or you could just slap a $100 export tariff on everything apple makes. Just pick one company - and kill it.

As if anyone cares

my take on obama's public option...

it's crap. it's too small, it will only be available to people who work at very small companies etc... the mandate to buy insurance or face a several hundred dollar fine (if you're single) has to be there (you cant to public option without the mandate)...

it's a center-right insurance industry ass kiss of a bill

and it's probably the best thing we can get in this country full of morons - so the progressive caucus should probably support it (at first glance). What we have to hope is that once it gets installed we'll be able to dramatically increase the size of it over time - until eventually it puts the scam that is insurance out of business.

IF it fails... honestly... i'm ok with that... which means the 'change' president has managed to take a political stance that takes one of the most important problems facing the country and slap a big MEH on it. That takes skill.

Exporting Democracy

Bush's little buddy Hamid really took Bush/Gore Florida to heart.
Then again - he's on our side - so we're just supposed to back him up right?

Yeah... no... not my style.
Probably Obama's though. Dick.

Dumb Question

if you have massive fires every year that destroy thousands of homes and billions of dollars in property...

how about you spend some money on giant fire-fighting planes... you know... so you can put the fires out
