5150 Shorties Way
Let’s clean up some tabs here…. It’s supposed to be cold in Vegas tonight. First person to say that disproves global warning gets smacked upside the head. It’s called “math”: Someone notices that rent can be more than a mortgage these days. Funny thing, your landlord is entitled to a profit over paying his own mortgage! [...]
Music Bonus: Apocalypse Someday
Happy Solstice! Since you are reading this, it would appear that the world did not in fact end today. Have some bonus links about Christmas. In Closing: TSA; diet and diabetes; I bet we could create some jobs building and repairing infrastructure (nah, that costs money!); political suicide; don’t confuse us with facts; and how [...]
Happy Thanksgiving
In Closing: That would be bad; Googlegator; Japan Crush; Rolling Jubilee gets more press; the last cooler than average month was during the Reagan Administration (maybe hell froze over when he compromised with Democrats or raised taxes?); Lost Decade, American Style; Forbes and USA Today disagree on the buyer, but agree that somebody will [...]
Old Time Religion
Today, a bunch of men in another part of the world were so threatened by the very idea that a woman might learn something that they shot a 14 year old girl as she rode home from school in a bus. What a bunch of big, manly men that they had to go shoot a teenager [...]
Music Monday: Old School Redheads
And now for something completely different, a Baroque Concerto for Two Violins by the Red Monk, Antonio Vivaldi. My favorite is the second movement. Sorry about the static video. In Closing: Clearly this was compiled before the weekend political talkies; Siberian Princess; some miscellaneous food items; as someone with experience, I don’t think much of their [...]
So glad somebody told me what it was…
Enlightening. In closing: Sears; Fat costs us all; Japan has cute technology so powerful that even the Emperor and his wife are cute; Lululemon; Jobs report stinks; maybe we could fix that with some infrastructure building; silly USA Today thinking facts matter; novel; it’s privacy week; yeah, because making sure all high school graduates can [...]
A Buffet of Bad Ideas
There’s a restaurant site down the street that does not appear to attract success. I forget what the place was originally, other than an expensive build. I feel certain that high expenses are what killed the place. After remaining empty for a while, it became an “Asian fusion seafood restaurant.” Hey, this is Vegas, we [...]
Cyrus: Shorties of a Serial Killer
8 Years: Somehow I managed to overlook my Blogiversary. Next time you have a hard time getting through to your doctor’s office: Remember that the Feds are tying up the line trying to figure out how hard it is for you to get an appointment. He’s just so nice: Matt Damon is trying to find [...]
A Plea for Civility
Can we please all stop with the name-calling? Seriously, I don’t care if you’re liberal or conservative, we need to stop hurling around insulting names. It doesn’t do a bit of good, certainly doesn’t persuade anyone to your way of thinking, and it makes everyone who agrees with you look like an asshole. I’m tired [...]
Red Riding Shorties
In other news, sky blue, water wet: The cable industry recognizes that poverty is as big threat to their subscriber base as Netflix. Duhpartment of Research: What do cats do all day? Mostly sleep and rest. World’s Oldest Known Museum: Turns out to have been in ancient Babylonia. Views of Vegas: From the Strip and [...]
