I kinda hate talking about capitalist economics. I am also not an economist, so I’m usually talking out my ass. In this case, that’s appropriate. Here’s a question, wrapped in a story:
Let’s say that about a year ago there was a booming market in some commodity. And purely for the sake of this example, let’s [...]

It’s either that or crying, c’mon!
(Though in Real Life, of course, Congress did not actually go for it.)

Well, I just watched the debates myself. Via YouTube. The easiest YouTube to find was via Fox News’s feed, which was annoying because they so often did closeups or split-screens of the candidates and never did wider shots– so I couldn’t judge for myself if it was true, that McCain was supposedly never able to [...]

Best part of the whole debate:
When Jim Lehrer asked the candidates, “Much has been said about the lessons of Vietnam. What do you see as the lessons of Iraq?” McCain babbled about how awesomely we began there, how (for causes not even remotely articulated) we had a wee bit of a strategic stumble [...]

I lucked into two fish tanks, a 10-gallon and a 25-gallon, and I’d like to fill them with things. The larger one has a small hole in it, and can’t hold water. I was thinking fish in the smaller one, and a snake, lizard or turtle in the larger. I’ve heard good [...]

What I really need to go with that is, like, a Wanted! Dead or Alive! poster. I thought about whipping one up but ultimately decided against it–I’m not a good enough PhotoShopper to get the slavering fangs to look realistic, as it turns out.
Where is this coming from? My recent brief [...]

Today I went through the wedding gifts, to send out the thank you cards and to cash the cheques (hey, I’m a starving law student). Or rather, I should say that I tried to cash the wedding cheques. I discovered that I was unable to cash a single, solitary cheque. Why? Because [...]

The last post seems to be fairly unanimous: people want to see wedding pictures. This makes me happy that people care, but it also makes me a little bit nervous.
I have never put pictures on any of my political blogs before. Even back when I was on live-journal, my avatar was always something [...]

I’m not really at a moment in my life where I’m able to post properly, alas. Just thought I’d pop in to register a quick nod acknowledging that this Hellbound handbasket we’re all riding in has just picked up some steam, now that the Democrats appear to be joining hands with the Republicans to raid [...]

The wedding is over: the dress has been worn, the sand has been poured, the party has been danced. We had a blast, and while there are some things that we wish we could do-over, all in all it went pretty well.
Since I don’t know what the level of interest is on the blog, [...]

Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin…responding to a question about how oil obtained from offshore drilling can be kept in the country instead of sold on the world market, with an answer CNN’s Wolf Blitzer characterized as “not exactly easy to understand:”*
“Oil and coal? Of course, it’s a fungible commodity and they don’t flag, you [...]
