Cookie Monster Searches Deep Within Himself and Asks: Is Me Really Monster?
Who me kidding? Me know me never actually eat cookies. Me only crumble cookies in mouth, but me no swallow. Me can’t swallow. Me no have no esophagus. Me no have no trachea. Me only have black fabric throat. Me not supposed to be able to even talk.
Beautiful, genious, brilliant. The reason the internet exists.
Fearing job losses, US workers forgo benefits.
For their part, many managers are doing little to calm those concerns, human resource consultants say. They tend to view options such as flex-time and telecommuting as retention tools, experts say, and in recessions, fear of unemployment is just as effective.
As a telecommuter, I’m happy to report I haven’t encountered this type of reaction from my management. My sources at some of my former places of employment tell me that this article is pretty accurate in some cases though.
“How hard can it be to show up on Sunday and toss a few passes?” said Mr. Gibbs. “The fact that some people earn a lot more money than others just demonstrates the savage inequalities inherent in a capitalist system, and explains why the president has taken deliberate action to end it.”
The Liberty Papers examines this in Abandoning the Rule of Law.
I have time finding something I can wear at Banana Republic…I guess it’s because I’m not really comfortable in Banana Republic.

Among the most important of reasons for which we have a Constitution is to protect the unpopular from the torrent of popular opinion. It, after all, is the heinous derelict who is most in need of a fair trial to protect him from the posse, or the unpopular opinion that most requires the freedom of speech.
I was very disappointed in my Congressman, Jimmy Duncan, for voting for this. Marsh Blackburn is the only representative from TN who voted against it.

Scientists sailed Thursday to inspect an undersea volcano that has been erupting for days near Tonga — shooting smoke, steam and ash thousands of feet (meters) into the sky above the South Pacific ocean.
If I ever get any time to read, I’m coming back to this one…
What ever will Barney Frank do about this?
Fannie Mae plans to pay retention bonuses of as much as $611,000 each to key executives this year as part of a plan to keep hundreds of employees from leaving the government-controlled company.
Rival mortgage finance company Freddie Mac is planning similar awards, but has not yet reported on which executives will benefit.
Bill could affect gardens, farmers markets, CSAs, and more.
Designating the Food Safety Administration (FSA) as sole regulator of food safety rather than the individual states, including granting FSA the power to implement and administer a “national system for regular unannounced inspection of food establishments” under its own terms. (“Food establishment” is so broadly defined in the bill that it can be anything from a meat packing plant to a backyard garden.)
As a “little guy”, I’ll let the rest of you “little guys” in on a secret…
Bigger government (more regulation) is not good for you. It only helps those big enough to bankroll compliance with the regulations maintain their market share and take yours as well.
Congressman and Tennessee gubernatorial candidate Zach Wamp met with a group of conservative bloggers in Alcoa Monday night.
Disclaimer: I cringe a little at the word “conservative”. I consider myself to be a true “liberal” since I love liberty (socially and fiscally), and am a little bitter that the word has been hijacked. I’ll be glad when they transform themselves completely into “progressives” so we can have “liberal” back.
Anyway, here are my thoughts from the meeting with Congressman Wamp.
A Time line of Political Corruption.
The definition of an honest politician is one who stays bought. By this definition, Dodd and Obama are not honest politicians.

A mathematician who dared to argue that one plus one is not two would be laughed out of the field. Yet an economist, such as Krugman, can refute the fundamentals of the science of economics and be herald a laureate — a visionary.
I got partial credit on my tax filing for 2008.
