A ‘Permanent Fix’ Bailout And Why It Won’t Happen
Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert (R) has come up with an alternative to the $350 Billion economic stimulus package the Democrats are rumored to have ready for Obama to sign on January 20th. It’s pretty innovative and novel. You get to keep what you earn. That’s right. A two month tax holiday from FICA and income [...]
Business Fail Because of Banks and Credit Card Companies? C’mon.
I normally wouldn’t comment on a situation like Cindy Fairless Lay’s.  She is closing her privately owned business here locally, and that’s none of my business.  However, Ms. Lay wrote a guest column for the KNS (related article) today in which she explains why her business is closing.  In doing so, she’s put herself out there, [...]
INTJ — Myers Briggs For Idiots, Or at Least Me
 I took the Myers-Briggs personality test my freshman year of college, but I don’t remember what I was. I’m pretty sure that my personality has evolved in some areas since then. The other day on Twitter @eeUS was asking for people’s types, and I took this quick test to find out what I am. [...]
I Don’t Feel Like Writing
But these people do. Â So go read their posts. LissaKay on how socialism works. Â Notice the guy at the top pays the same amount either way. BillyMac has fun playing with John McCain’s tongue. Â Strange fetish. Why Libertarians and true conservatives don’t win elections. Â Duh. Seth Godin writes a post about me–too small to fail. [...]
We Interrupt This Race For Some Negativity
There’s no way I’d ever run for public office. Â Ok, maybe I would just out of spite, but I’d never do it with any illusions about my electibility. Â I seems political success is somehow tied to likability, which disqualifies me. Â But just in case I do run, here’s a little head start for my opponents [...]

Community Standards
First of all, a few housekeeping items… Thanks to all of the new readers I’ve picked up in the past couple of days for subscribing. Nothing like a naked chick in a public park to boost readership, huh? And thanks to all of my readers who were with me long before this latest bit of [...]
Man Up Nine-Year-Olds!
My buddy Greg sent me this article at ESPN about a 9-year-old boy in Connecticut who has been told his 40 mph fast ball makes him “too good” to pitch in his baseball league. Teams have refused to play when he pitches, and his team is being disbanded at players redistributed to other teams. But [...]
I Would LOVE to RTFM
So I’m working on a project for my job job (I’m not quite able to support a family on blogging–yet), and have been wrestling with a biggish enterprise software package. As you’d expect, there’s quite a bit of convolution to it–things like hundreds of database tables with nondescript names like T001, T0043, H3222, etc. (Was [...]
Thinking Games Useful For Corporations
Most video games hold my attention for about 3 hours. That’s not 3 hours at a time, that’s 3 hours total. The one exception is strategy games, which I can play into the wee hours of the night. Civilization is my all-time favorite, mostly because it absolutely destroys me, but there are several other “thinking” [...]
