Doing More With Less Since 1972
Young people (like me) have better things to do at 11:30 on Saturday Nights…like sleep. We catch up on SNL much later online.
I was talking to @Mr_Schwartz this morning about the fact that Justin Timberlake is the first true triple threat entertainer since Dick Van Dyke.
Sure, Social Security has always been a Ponzi scheme, but it wasn’t always as bad as it is now.
One of the best posts I’ve read in a while. And it’s short too!
Cameron Stracher begins by talking about how running will become more popular during the down economy, but the article gets better as he drifts into talking about the blood and guts of running.
Every runner has a tale about a port-a-potty just missed, a coffee that wouldn’t stay down, a blister that burst and filled a sock with blood. We tell the stories with pride, metaphors for our own indomitability.
I’m so happy I’m (slowly) getting back into running. I’ve missed it.
From Bruce W. Sanford and Bruce D. Brown, a post that (not surprisingly) comes from a newspaper:
It is unrealistic to demand new business models from the press without giving it the legal tools to succeed
Wait…what? No one is “demanding” anything of newspapers. It basically comes down to this–if you want to survive, find a business model that works in the free market. If you can’t do that, you will die.
The only thing I’d demand is that they not use taxpayer dollars or legislative mechanics to get special treatment.
I wonder how low they have to go before she has her broom revoked.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released this afternoon found that the approval of how Pelosi is doing her job as speaker has dropped from 51 percent in January to 46 percent in March to 39 percent now.

…most people aren’t going to understand. That’s too bad, because if people were allowed to be greedy without limits, we’d all end up paying less.
Greed is worse than a moral defect; it is a cause of foolish pricing. That is why markets know it when they see it. And when markets are allowed to operate, greed generates its own punishment.
I plan on looking into these if I can ever find the time.
Is Richard an agent of anti-Jacob?
Jacob and anti-Jacob can’t kill each other. Ben and Charles can’t kill each other. Are they each others’ constants? Makes sense that you can’t kill your own constant, but what do you gain by your constant being killed by someone else.
If the bomb was actually detonated and the Losties are killed in the universe where it explodes, their conciousness can’t be transferred into the universe where The Incident never happened, right? But it appears that the island may split into two universes here too–one where The Incident occurs and one where the bomb detonates. How does that affect Jacob and anti-Jacob?
The lettering of “LOST” at the end of the show is usually white lettering on black background, but at the end of this one it was black lettering on a white background. Does that mean everything is turned on its head–good is bad and bad is good?

What do you mean the 90s sucked? Alyssa Milano has it right.
Top 4 Tips On What To Wear To A Beginner Hip Hop Class.
Yeah, I laugh too. But I haven’t heard much hip hop lately that holds a candle to them. Will anybody still know every word to a Mike Jones song in 25 years?
Ok, maybe that’s a bad example.
Again, your great-, great-, great-, great-, great-, great-grandchildren will be paying for this one.
Yet the critics of Tea Parties typical retort is “aren’t 95% of you getting a tax cut?” Well, I’m not sure how you feel about it, but it still doesn’t make stealing from your posterity to pay for it ok.
Anakin Skywalker was a tremendously talented young boy discovered by Obi Wan Kenobi, who initially believed that Anakin was the “Chosen One” foretold by a Jedi prophecy to bring balance to the Force and restore harmony to the universe.
Greenspan reminds me more of Mel Brooks in Spaceballs, but it’s a pretty interesting analogy. Read it all if this is the kind of thing than interests you.
How could that be true?
