75 Years ago today was the great stock market crash of 1929. Also Winona Ryder turns 33 years old today. Wow. Looking at her bio, I had no idea some of the stuff about her. For example: 1. Her real hair color is blonde but when she made her first major film Lucas (1986) her…
What the heck happened to Enron? This was the biggest corporate rip-off ever and no one brings it up at all. I think that the War on Terrorism and the War in Iraq is actually just a big distraction from corporate greed and abuse scandals. Why doesn’t Kerry say as much? Something like this: “The…
Quick Question: What percentage of Americans do you think has your income level? I believe that most Americans do not understand the breakdown of income in this country. So here is a nice chart to help you understand how poor most Americans are. (Shoutout to Danny for the basic info and the IRS for making…

They put up a good fight but lost. So I guess they are not going to go 16-0. BUT, I am getting a vision…Here it comes…They are going to go 15-1. I am 94% sure. If the Redsox can win the World Series, then maybe the Jets can win the Superbowl? The boys are getting…
A nice electoral college calculator. Using this, I started with the 2000 election. Then I split Colorado’s vote. Then I changed Pennsylvania from a Democrat win to a Republican win. Ohio went to Bush last time. It doesn’t really matter. Whoever wins Florida wins. It’s all about Florida. Check the Miami Herald’s article written an…
So Comcast came over to set up cable TV and Internet Access, but unfortunately, they screwed up the internet access. They can’t even fix it until Sunday. Come on people! 13 days to the election. I sort of feel like a Boston Red Sox fan. You can make your own analogies here. Maybe something about…
Moved. Muscles hurt. Everything still in boxes or strewn throughout the house. No internet access. No phones. No Comcast. No DirecTV. No garbage. No mail. Other than that, I love the new house. Oh, speaking of DirecTV. They came and decided that the roof was too high. They didn’t want to go up on the…
We are the proud new owners of our new house in Hercules. It cost an arm and a leg but it is ours. I feel good about moving. Really excited. Lots to do. We are moving tomorrow. Right now, I am all optimism. Let’s see how I feel a year from now!
In the debates, the ridiculous lies are making me crazy. Dick Cheney Debate Lies.. This video shows Bush lying to every American in crystal clear language. Bush DOES own part of a Timber company! I have this terrible feeling in my stomach that Bush is going to be president for four more years. I don’t…
This is just a very funny read. (Thanks to Danny for sending it)
Remember that guy Barry Sobel, the comedian who came on stage and said, I don’t have time for all my jokes, but I can give you the lunchlines. Then he rattled off a whole bunch of joke punchlines. Man, that was funny. Layer?! I don’t even know her! Ok, in that spirit here are The…
Someone at work said, “It’s just work, it’s not personal.” I said, “I spend more time with you than with my kids.” We aren’t robots. Our daily lives are personal experiences, and don’t let “the man” make you think that you should stop experiencing life on a personal level just because you are at work.…
I received my voter guide and was reading it on the train. 90% of the measures were for tax increases to pay for this program or that. And let me tell you that, not including elections, there were THIRTY-TWO separate measures that I have to vote on. Now, I have to speak up here. This…
