…the more it’s deja vu all over again. Or something: Watch it quick before YouTube gets a take-down notice. I don’t know who Steve Adams is (though you can see his website here), but the sentiment of the video is strikingly apt. Hat tip to (wait for it) Mormon Mommy Wars. . UPDATE: You can […]
For those of you who did not see the story on mortgages in last weekend’s 60 Minutes, they revealed America’s first glimpse at a trend that is a serious threat to our economy; people intentionally defaulting on their mortgages. This except is from Minyanville’s professor Kevin Depew’s Five Things You Need To Know: (my comments […]
All the way back in August, I raised concerns about another tech bubble building in light of the valuation of VMWare shooting up to nearly $20 billion on the day of its IPO. Of course, VMWare’s market cap continued to climb, sitting at a high of $30 billion as recently as a few days ago. […]
From the New York Post’s page 6 section, this gem of a cartoon that sums up the effect of this week’s endorsement of Illinois Senator Obama by Senator Kennedy, while at the same time lampooning Kennedy and Clinton.

I know that the president and the congress have been hard at work trying to perform some kind of economic defibrillation to make sure the US does not slide into recession. At present it looks like Uncle Sam is going to be handing out packages of “free money” to everyone in the country except rich […]
Having taken about 15 months to get to the 100,000-hit mark — and reaching that largely due to our coverage of the San Diego fires in October 2007 — we’ve now reached the 150,000-hit mark in just 3 months. I’d like to think that it’s due to the quality and mix of our entries here. […]
