And effective today, I join the ranks of the leisure class-at least for a while. Today was my last full day at work. Clean out the desk, turn out the lights, wipe all the porn files off the computer. Stick a fork in me I am done! Hopefully, it will

About the stinking Chinese commie dictatorship. What are the chances of the world’s righteous, free, democratic, apple pie-munching nations boycotting the Beijing Olympics in protest against China’s crackdown in Tibet? Imagine the intensely gratifying and entertaining humiliation of the godless Communist tyranny, combined with the relief from the excruciating tedium

The dollar dropped below 100 yen today. It has not been there since 1995. What is significant about that? It represents the 1-1 ratio point where when you pull out 5000 yen you are spending 50 dollars ( plus those G0dd**m ATM service charges!). Since, the powers that be that

With John Cole’s assessment. Doable. Yea she’s OK-but for 5 grand, there better be more than an hour and more than one shot on goal included – and gymnastics and a hot tub would need to be involved. She does pass the Lewinsky threshold though. A better view here-which also answers
