Rosemary’s Shorties

Presented in no particular order….

Midwives. Unfortunately both sides are right; Childbirth is a natural process, but it can go wrong. And if the lady who cuts my hair at that place next to the Kroger needs a license, then the lady who helps you deliver a baby should probably have one too.

Worried about the NSA listening in on your phone calls? The guy who brought us “Pretty Good Privacy” for email has something for you. If you are in a high tech industry and are worried about corporate espionage, this might be what you need.

Speaking of high tech, wouldn’t it be nice if the Biotech industry made money in addition to making new drugs?

Without DeLay. My favorite quote: “I’m a realist. I’ve been around awhile. I can evaluate political situations.” Now, what can we do about Frist?

What have I been saying about Adjustable Rate Mortgages for about two years now? I’ve been saying that you should refinance them at the earliest opportunity. Follow-up: Denver — Disturbing and Sad.

Follow up on immigration and guest workers: “If you ask me, the term ‘guest worker’ is another way of saying, ‘Welcome! Kneel!'” and “Battle at the bottom isn’t just for immigrants.”

Myth of the Opt-Out Mom is pretty self-explanatory.

And last but not least, Chinese official calls for sale of U.S. debt. He’s not the guy who gets to make the decision, but he has influence over that decision. This doesn’t mean the house of cards is coming down, but it means somebody jostled the table the house of cards sits on. If China stops buying bits of the United States’ debt, things could get bad. Interest rates might skyrocket, government spending may have to be drastically slashed, taxes may have to be raised. Just saying.
